I would. It’ll lower the risk of overwatering them in the long run if they’re not sitting in excess moist soil, and it’ll take less time for them to dry out between waterings, which also lowers the chances of attracting pests to moist top soil. Opt for something no more than 1-2 inches wider than the diameter of the plant’s root ball. Hope this helps.
