I’m new to houseplants, some of my first purchases I repotted into a ceramic pot and now would like all my plants in clear plastic dropped into the ceramic. Would it cause too much stress to repot if I bought and repotted around 5 weeks ago? Or am I over thinking this…

5 weeks sounds safe! Typically folks around here reccomend waiting at least 2 weeks after bringing a new plant in, so go for it! Would you mind telling me what specific plant it is? I can try and give some soil brand recommendations and tell you what pots I use if I know what specific plant it is
