# I bought the planter on the left off of Amazon not realizing how big…

I bought the planter on the left off of Amazon not realizing how big it was. Could I technically put this pencil cactus in there and let it grow into the pot size? It’s been in the same pot and soil for 5 years, and I’ve given it multiple “haircuts” if you will haha

Edit: it comes with a 4” riser that I planned on using since it is such a large jump

Looks like it will only be 2 inches in diameter more? I would do it. I'll just be careful with the watering.

When I did the math, it was supposed to be the right diameter. I just didn’t realize how tall it was and wasn’t sure if it would affect the root system. Thank you so much!!!! 😊

What is the name of the seller of that pot? I love it and would like to buy one.
