Is it time to repot? 🤔

My beautiful black prince’s leaves are starting to go over the sides of the pot, I was told that’s when to go up in pot size.. thoughts ? #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #SucculentLove #PlantTherapy #GrowLights #BlackPrince #PlantLove #blackprince
It's beautiful @thecrystalbabe. It looks like you could go up a pot or two. I also look at the drainage hole at the bottom, there might be some little roots popping out. Sometimes they'll even come out of the topsoil. It's the size of the roots that really determine if you need to upgrade pots.
@FairyFly thank you ! 🙏🏼😌
Maybe. Echeveria don't mind being snug in their pots; like @FairyFly said, the roots determine the size of the pot. I would leave it in it's current pot until spring.
WHAT AMAZING ADVICE YALL🤩🥹😭🌱❤️ @FairyFly @Charli3Plant y’all are the best!!!!! I just came here to say that & you’re in freaking wonderful hands 🤩🥳 @thecrystalbabe
@thecrystalbabe wanted to second what @Charli3Plant said. Echeveria have very shallow root systems. And since these are winter dormant/summer growers, spring is definitely the best time to upsize 😊

Another potential benefit of a smaller pot like that is improved air flow for those bottom leaves. Not as much direct contact with the soil, less chance of rot.
Thank you @stephonicle & @Prentyce 🙏🏼💚
