I always like to repot a plant as soon as I get it so I can be sure it has a good growing medium, proper drainage, and get a look at the roots 😊

i believe these are susceptible to rot so I would get it into something nice and well draining — maybe equal parts peat moss, perlite, and fir or pine bark/chips

yes i repotted it right when i got it, i was wondering if i need to do it gains soon

probably not 🤷 idk when you got it — you’ll see signs of stress if it becomes too root bound. it’s probably fine
