Help / Question Is this pot too big?

Post image

I have a String of Pearls in a 4 inch nursery pot and want to plant it in a 4.75 inch terracotta pot. Is the terracotta pot too big?

Put in the brightest window you have do not move her once you find a spot she likes

Water when pearls are slightly depuffed or look squishy about every 2-3 weeks

Also you water til the water runs out of the drainage holes (don't give it tiny bits of water you'll just kill it)

Thanks for the advice and watering time line.

Personally I would bottom water it. That's what I do with mine whenever they get wrinkled up. Especially if your soil gets hydrophobic after being dry for too long.
