You can use xlim and ylim, and provide either a tuple as (lower, upper) or an int as lower limit only:

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
plt.style.use('ggplot')
df = pd.DataFrame(data={'X': np.random.random(100) * 50 + 100, 'Y': np.random.random(100) * 250 + 500})

which looks like:

                X           Y
count  100.000000  100.000000
mean   126.183239  622.705947
std     15.766365   77.727067
min    100.574628  501.077603
25%    113.219299  545.146821
50%    125.318034  626.237368
75%    141.960502  694.636261
max    149.745984  749.947933

Use

df.plot.scatter('X', 'Y', xlim=(100, 150), ylim=(500, 750))

to get:
