What is the best size and kind of pot for this plant?

4β pot with drainage

Last watered 1 month ago
@AffluentPapaya well if itβs new, donβt repot it just yet. Unless the soil is awful and itβs dying. But i donβt think thatβs the case. The pot itβs in now should do!
They can manage with a pretty tight pot. It will tell you if it gets too rootboundπ Keep an eye out when many roots starts poking out of the bottom, then you can repot it into a slightly bigger pot.π
Glazed clay or plastic is fine with these. Unglazed and teracotta might be too dry as they don't like to dry out, but if you manage to keep the soil moist (but not wet) most types of pots will do. But it definitly needs drainage, as they might quickly develop root-rot if kept too wetπ
So it kind of depends on if you usually overwater or underwaterπ
And if your plant-card is right, I would advise to move it out of direct sunlight, as their leaves burn easilyπ They usually grow on the jungle-floor in the shade of other plants πͺ΄
