# Just been gifted these 3 plants, any general tips or advice for them?…

_Posted by Jack on 2026-08-07_

Just been gifted these 3 plants, any general tips or advice for them? Especially the younger ones as it’s the first time having one that isn’t mature.

Also they don’t have any drainage holes, and I want to repot them into pots with drainage, but the gifter only just repotted them, so I need to wait to avoid more stress on them?

Personally, I’d say repot them. Just do it as gently as possible and use the soil from those, but they need drainage. Sure, it’s stress, but they’ll be slower to recover and have more issues staying in those pots.

That soil doesn't look like it's at all chunky so i would repot into chunky soil. Just like the person above said, do it very carefully..
