Should I transfer them to smaller pots? Im still learning and I thought bigger pots were better but apparently not so I’m wondering about these, should I go smaller?

i would, when your root system is small and pot is too big you run the chance of root rot. you should usually have your plant in a pot no bigger than 1-2 inches larger than your plants root ball 🌱

I agree with Courtney! You should definitely downsize. These guys like to be snug. Don’t worry about the size of the plant, when picking a pot always go based on the size of the root ball. They also need a well draining/fast drying soil. I would pick a pot no more than 2” larger than the root ball (or if combining multiple plants, the size of ball all their roots together make).

Si, because the small base the bigger growing
