I need to repot my emerald gem, so buying a planter. If I get a large one, will it be unhealthy for her if it’s too big?

    In my own (nonprofessional) experience, I would move up to a larger pot, but not one that is too much larger. You want more room for those roots to grow, but if the pot is too big and there’s too much soil, then there’s a risk of overwatering. All of that extra soil can hold too much water and lead to root rot.

      agreed. a good ‘rule of thumb’ is 1-2” bigger than the current pot size

    So happy to see another person with these plant and bookshelf stands. I have them in my home and just love them!

      First time I’ve met someone who has them! I’ve got a large one in my dining room and a small in the bedroom.
