Don’t know if my plant will need a bigger pot.

Basically I got my Elephat Bush at Walmart(I know sue me), and I’m not sure at what point my plant will need a new/bigger pot. Sorry for photo with bad lighting. #HappyPlants #NewPlantMom #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

Hi Lydia, I usually find the plants I buy at a store or nursery are pot bound. They need transplanting as soon as possible into a bigger pot. One way to tell is if you remove it from the pot, the roots are wrapping around around.

@SpiffyKonjac33 , you are welcome. Be careful not to put it in a much larger pot, maybe two or 3 inches bigger than what it’s in now. If you put it in too big a pot, then it will develop a lot of roots and not many leaves.
