# To repot together or leave individual? They all used to be in a pot…

_Posted by Amateur plant mama on 2026-08-01_

To repot together or leave individual? They all used to be in a pot together thriving. Then moved them into a pot which was too big and then they ended up separated. I kind of want them all in one pot again but will they eventually choke out the other roots systems? Or compete for space? What to do what to do.

I’m not sure what kind of plant you have but I’d love to hear about any advice you receive! I have several Golden Pothos propagations that will need planted soon and I’m wondering the same thing as you!  
Plant them all together or in smaller groups or even individually?!?!

I've done pothos together in a pot and they are very happy. This is three small props

Awesome! Thank you so much! I might have to get a bigger pot and just combine them all together into a single beautiful plant grouping! ❤️

root choking is really only a problem for self-heading tropicals like a monstera imo. cactuses will naturally grow in groups of multiple main stems, so they're okay to cohab. my rule of thumb is if it does it outside, it can do it in my house too

I think you can put them together. Just watch the pot size. 1-2” larger than the root ball. Which will be hard to judge with multiple. But maybe go a little on the snug side for now. Then in the spring, if needed, you can go up one pot size from there

There are typically multiple plants per pot in the stores to make for fuller pots
