What size pot?

Hi Everyone! Yesterday I bought a Slimy Spiny Cactus. It had roots creeping through the holes in the bottom of the pot it came in. I have pots of various sizes, I just have no clue as to what size of pot to move my new cactus into. The pot itself currently in seems to be around 6 inches tall and 5 1/2 inches wide #NewGrowth #SucculentLove #PlantShelfie

Generally it’s good to up the size by one or two pot sizes since they still like to be snug, so 6 1/2 to 7 would probably be good

ouch thats gonna be tough to repot, I would just increase the width by a few inches or so and the depth by an inch or two since cati like shallow roots
