Most of my plants in containers and in the ground are on variable drip irrigation.
I can grow a bigger plant in a smaller pot with less issues.
The container weight has to be kept under control too...all I got is a two wheeler to move them.
Notice next time at a finer nursery the size and quality Monrovia plants, they are grown on irrigation mats or drip and in a smallish 3-5 gal container.
Their Ensete are huge in these pots. These plants are given everything they need except pot size.
For me it is personal preference when to repot or just do a soil refresh.
You kinda just know when to do it.....sometimes I am way too lazy and one gets away from me.
