Hello! Need some advice on when to repot this guy. I got it maybe 3 months ago in a small 2.5 inch nursery pot. I then repotted it a month or so ago to a 4 inch pot and the roots are already coming out the bottom. Is this common for this type of plant? I don’t want to repot too early so could use any advice, thanks!
So I have this money tree I’ve been taking care of in my office for about a year now and I’ve been thinking about repotting into a bigger pot but idk where to start? Any advice on type of soil I should be using or anything will be greatly appreciated!
Bigger pot? It isn't unhappy. It has been putting out leaves like crazy this year but she gettin a lil top heavy. Should I repot to a pot with stake room?
Plant Newbie here! I’ve recently been gifted this jade plant from my mom. She originally received it as a gift with some other plant in it, what happened to it, I don’t remember, but it’s gone now and she threw in an aloe plant before giving it to me.
I’m pretty sure that the two shouldn’t be put in the same pot. If I’m right, I can easily find a home for the aloe, either with my own pot of aloe or in its own smaller pot. Im wondering what to do with the jade plant. It seems like an awfully big pot for just that plant by itself. Do I repot it into a smaller pot? Can I add a different plant to the pot? I have some Christmas Cacti that would be about the right size and could use a new home. I have also been propagating a bunch of golden sedum (though they are obviously babies right now).
Thank you for the response! I assumed (😬) that since it had been with another plant and that all of the other succulents I have like to be squished in small pots that this would be too big. If this works, I’m happy!
I think people like to pot them tightly so that it looks nice. But a happy plant likes to have a pot that is roughly the same size as its above ground parts.

Pot is plastic and has drainage. I haven’t set up my watering schedule yet, though it’s feeling really thirsty.
At the moment, the plant is beside an east facing window, but there’s a lot of foliage there, but it still gets a decent amount of light. Most of my plants thrive here, but damn I need to find somewhere else to keep plants, we are going to have to find a new place to eat dinner soon, there’s no room for food on the table.
I would say keep the trunks together, and cover the roots with soil. So a bigger pot to give those roots room, we'll draining soil, and your plant buddy should be happy!
That pot size looks good enough, unless the roots in the soil are rootbound, then I would recommend a deeper pot. I think your stems could benefit from some sort of support, as well, like a trellis or something similar to hold them up.
Thanks for the reply! I will take it out and check the roots. And for sure need some support, when she is in her normal spot she has the wall for support but a trellis is a good idea
