It’s too big if there is more than an inch of soil surrounding the root ball and if it takes the plant too long to dry out the soil. Both situations can lead to root rot from holding excess water too long on the roots. It sets up conditions perfect for fungus gnats to survive. I recommend reducing the pot size if it’s holding excess soil or it’s slow to dry out. Also, the soil’s level should be about 1/2” to 1” from the rim of a pot this size to get air circulation needed to dry out the soil.
