I’d like to put these two new plants in these two plant pots. But are the pots too big?

Too big use a pot only 2 in bigger

Do these new pots have drainage? Most decorative pots only have one hole or none. I would repot into plastic pots first to the size for the new pots (I always use clear ones so I can see the root system)

I do that too! Got a tip a long time ago from a local plant shop.🩷

This is the way

As long as they have drainage holes, you could try. I am wondering if they are a little deep, but I am very paranoid about repotting!😳

Thank everyone for such good advise! I put them in slightly smaller pots for now because …I never noticed that these dont have drainage holes in them!!! but it’s good to know that most of you think a jump in size like that wouldn’t be too big.
