_Posted by Rhus on 2025-07-06_

So-- I am not experienced with semi-hydro or hydro. Can anyone tell me if pot size is important for plant health in semi-hydro, the way it is for soil? If I put a stromanthe that is currently in a 2" pot into a 4" pot in pon, will it be ok? It's small and I don't want to drown it!

I think the forced perspective here makes the semi-hydro pot look huge, but I am sick and injured and this is the best I could do 🤣😭

Diameter comparison

Yeah that should work out

#### Adam replied on 2025-07-11

I would do a bigger pot in diameter and in height

#### Rhus replied on 2025-07-11

Is that so I don't have to repot it again before it's stabilized after transitioning to semi-hydro?

Yea pretty much
