# my paddle plant is so crowded and heavy he looks like he could snap…

my paddle plant is so crowded and heavy he looks like he could snap in half if he doesn’t get more room. there’s also a 2nd baby growing under him and he looks suffocated too. would it be alright to repot even tho it’s only been 3 months?

I’ve had to repot plants quickly before because they started growing like crazy, and they’ve done just fine, so it can work. If you feel they’re more at risk being crowded in this pot together than repotting them into bigger individual pots, I’d take action. And you might want to consider adding some support to make sure they don’t topple or snap. 💚
