I’ve had this variegated dwarf umbrella tree for 2 weeks. Should I size up or leave it in the nursery pot?

only size up if water doesn’t soak in easily, the plant starts showing signs of distress, or you see the soil contracting away from the pot edges.

You can certainly repot it, but sizing up sometimes can do harm if the root ball isn’t big enough yet
