What should be the next pot after 3 oz cups?

My plantlets from leaf have been thriving and became really nice, sturdy and big in 3 oz plastic cups. They are now clearly more than three times the diameter of the cup and since I want them to get bigger I want to repot them in something larger.

The thing is I don't know what to put them in next. I don't want to go too much up in size and I would like to continue to keep them in some kind of plastic cups.

Would you be able to recommend the next step up from the 3 oz white plastic cups?

Thank you so much!

Begonia,

Usually the next step is 2" pots. Then 4" pots.

If you want to keep the same kind of plastic cups, go to a restaurant supply store. I buy the 4 oz. cup as my next size up. They have many more sizes to choose.

I started using greek yogurt containers (the Chabani type). I burn holes in the bottom with a soldering iron (I do this outside). The labels can be pulled right off of these containers and they look nice, being white, and you can easily write on them too. I find them to be the perfect size when plants start getting larger. If I think the container might be a little too big for a plant, I put a layer of perlite in it and then put the mix on that.
This means I have been eating a lot of greek yogurt, lol.
