Hi! I just got my own plants for the first time ever! I was wondering if I should go ahead and repot them or let them chill out for a bit. I know different people have different opinions so maybe the pros and cons of each? I got them from a local family owned nursery, if that changes any recommendations.
I don’t repot after getting a plant for at least a year so they can adjust and not stress them out more than they are in a new environment! I’ll only do it if they’re rootbound or if the soil is too wet! I just use a cover pot to make them look nice

Have fun! I was always guilty of repotting plants in pots that are too big. I have learned from others in the know to go up only a size or two from original pot when repotting. I have also learned not to overwater. Nice group you have there!

Love the calatheas! Pro tip - wipe off their leaves every so often when you see them get dusty. It helps with photosynthesis. I use microfiber gloves and some water with castile soap
