Dose that pot have drainage? If no that’s the only reason I would repot in same size with drainage

Yeah I had same concern no drainage. Thinking I’ll re pot

### EllenLikesPlants commented on 2026-04-14

I’d say no. They can really grow pretty full before needing repotting in my case.

### Jenna commented on 2026-04-14

That’s a beauty! They handle under watering better than overwatering, hence the concern regarding the pot.

### Madison commented on 2026-04-14

I agree that if the pot doesn’t have drainage, you should definitely give it a new pot that has good drainage. Otherwise, no need to repot unless it’s having problems. They actually prefer to be more root bound. If you do repot, make sure the planter is no more than 1-2” bigger than the root ball (probably more like 1 since they prefer to be root bound).
