I had a large coleus for years that randomly died. I removed the plant from the pot but kept the soil. I just noticed today that a baby coleus is sprouting up. The pot is very large, at least a foot or more. Should I move this baby to a smaller pot or keep it there?

I’d leave it for a bit longer but it’s your choice.

I think I will just to make sure it survives and for it to be a little larger /stronger for when I do move it
