Hello plant community, I am very new to plant ownership, and have a pot I really love, and initially had this plant previously in the pot but it has since outgrown. Can I have some recommendations for a plant that is slow growing or skinny enough that it will take a while for it to outgrow this pot.

Haven’t looked into it much myself yet but “mini plants” seem to be getting super popular. A local shop near my house has a bunch of varieties of them for like $5 each. They are small I bet you could fit 2 or 3 in there maybe even!

My Jade has been small now for over a year.

You could break a leaf off you succulent and put it in the old pot and let it slowly grow

I second this! It’s fun to grow a plant from the start and it’s definitely the cheapest option lol

You must have strong light availability because your echeveria looks great. So maybe a sansevieria-Thai tower, boncel. Some haworthias are slow growing. Chinese crassula is very slow. Hedgehog cactus would be cool looking in that planter. Or for something very different and very slow, a split rock. And almost no care.

You could also do a string plant. Turtles would look cute and since they drape it’s ok if they grow over

Or creeping oak leaf fig! It's not that slow-growing but it'd be ok in that pot for a long time.
