Here are images of my BOP before and after reporting it. I bought the plant on marketplace in April and it was in the 10" pot. I could tell the plant needed to be reported even when I bought it. Now 3 months later the plant was busting out of the pot (but not literally because the roots were too thick to fit through the drainage holes). It would completely dry out within 3 days max so I knew it just had too much going on in that tiny pot. I finally found a day with a friend to repot it but I couldn't find a 12" grower pot anywhere near me. So I found a 14" and thought maybe this would work considering the root system of the plant was so large. I made sure the soil wasn't packed in too tight and honestly it looks like the two plants fit so much better. But I'm wondering… did I make a huge mistake? Will this thing get rot in no time because of this? Please let me know if anyone has had any experience with something like this. (Images with the orange pot is the previous pot, images with the black grower pot is the new one)
