I'd say when you receive one in a 3.5" pot from me, put it in a one gallon to start. Then gradually bump it up to a 2 gallon, etc. They are easy to overwater if you over pot them. If you want to keep it outside, then make sure you use a heavy pot like a ceramic one, etc while they are small. That way it doesn't blow over. When they get to be a mini mat in a pot, like mine, you can pot them up bigger.

this one is still only up to my chin and I'm 5'3. And that includes the pot height. Short little fellows! The stump in the front of the picture is the stalk that bloomed last year.
