Hey! Im a beginner planter, and my friend gave me two props she had to get me started, both are starting to grow new leaves, im just wondering when i should transfer them to a new pot? They seem to be doing well but im not sure what the timeline looks like for that kind of stuff
Maybe in a year or so? If you size up now they will be susceptible to overwatering and root rot.

1 likeTo add to the other comment, generally when the time comes to repot, it’s nice if you can do it at a time when the plants are developing new leaves! It tends to mean they are better able to adjust to their new situation I think :) I also look at the type of plant - some love being cozy in a smaller pot, others want some extra breathing room. You’ll want to keep an eye out for soil that is super dense with roots - sometimes, roots coming out the drainage hole at the bottom can help indicate this, but roots can also easily just venture out there by chance, so don’t take it as a sure thing by any means! I’m definitely not an expert but hopefully that helps!

If you don’t like the look of plastic nursery pots you can always get a pot that the nursery pot fits in, just make sure when you water it you let it drain before putting it back in the decorative pot.
