It’s pretty much the same depth just wide!

### GreenLeaf commented on 2024-03-24

Yes.

### Sunny commented on 2024-03-24

The new pot should be no more than 2” wider than the current pot. So, use a new 4” or smaller pot for a repotting a plant currently in a 2” pot.

Yes two big the pot slightly smaller but not two small

If you want them in that pot just put a little bit bigger pot down inside it, fill around it with dirt and stick your pothos pot in the empty part! I do it all the time but all of my plants are in nursery pots.
