It is best not to grow a small plant in a large container because it will end up with too much moisture which can cause root rot. Only go up one or two sizes when they need to be repotted. You will need well draining soil. You can mix potting soil and perlite to increase drainage. We have lots of articles on growing herbs and vegetables in containers.
