# I just bought this Queen of the night plant and it needs to be…

_Publicado por Stephanie el 2025-01-18_

I just bought this Queen of the night plant and it needs to be repotted cause the roots are growing out of the bottom. It's in a 4 inch nursery pot right now and I was thinking of putting it in a 6" terracotta pot. What do you all think? Thanks for the help

Can’t really tell. Could you take a better pic?

It so big it hard to get it all in the picture. What part would you like to see

A 6 inch pot will work. Be sure to water long enough to soak both the pot and the soil. Terracotta will pull water from the soil. The plant looks like it has been under watered for a while based on the thin stems.

I recommend cutting back the stems to within 4 inches of the rim. The new growth should flatten out given sufficient light, water and fertilizer. You can propagate several 3” to 6” cut sections in water to resell or give away. Queen of the night is one of my oldest and favorite plant. 🪴🪴🪴
