If this plant is new, you most likely won’t need to repot it for several months. You can check if it needs a new pot by gently pulling the plant, along with its soil, out of the pot. If you see lots of roots around the edge of the soil, then a new pot would be necessary. When you repot, choose a pot that’s about 1 inch bigger than the roots. Hope this helps!
