Re-pot?

Hiya, I'm a complete novice at gardening.

I recently bought some pots for under my living room window. They have doubled in size, would I need to re-pot them into larger pots? Or are they ok as they are?

You could; but if you dont fancy it you can just make sure they are well watered (with a little weak tomato feed to help with the flowering) and they should manage for this year.

Thanks, I don't fancy re-potting it at all, I'll probably kill it lol. I'll leave it as it is, thanks for the tip about the tomato feed 🍅 x

That is a lovely pot and really easy to care for.

Those plant thrive on being compacted. When you water, immerse the pot fully in water and let it have a really good soak. A least two hours and done in the evening when it is cool.This is much better than dribbling water. I would not feed, as these are from the wild flower origins. They were quite likely planted with a slow release fertiliser. Over feeding will give lots of leaves instead of flowers. Dead head regularly otherwise they will go to seed.
