I am repotting a compact rosette succulent from a nursery cup into a decorative ceramic pot. The plant is not tall, but the roots are starting to circle the bottom. Would you choose a shallow wide planter or a slightly deeper pot with a gritty mix?
For a windowsill planter, I prefer drainage first and then adjust the saucer. A decorative pot without a hole can work as a cachepot, but I would keep the plant in a removable nursery liner.
For a compact rosette, I would avoid a very deep pot unless the roots already fill that space. A shallow wide pot with a gritty mix usually dries more evenly and keeps the plant from sitting wet at the bottom.
