The ivy I got for work was getting too big, so I tried to repot it. I also picked up a Medusa Pepper plant today and tried to pot that from a peat pot.

The ivy I think I did OK on. I got a pot one size up along with some potting soil. I gave it a good watering when I was done. Looks OK to me.

As for the Medusa Pepper plant, I think I got a pot that is too big and I didn't fill it up high enough. I've included photos of both. Not sure if I can try to pot the Medusa again or if it'll be OK.

I think it should be fine. My only question is if that pot will big enough for it when it grows up.

Thanks for replying. I can repot it again if it gets too big. By then, I should have more experience with caring for houseplants.

That is a really cool looking pot, too. Is the plant something you could keep pinched once it gets bigger so it's not too big for the pot? Or just plant something else in it.

I got the pot from Home Depot. It was kind of pushed away in a corner, but I'm happy that I found it. Definately a keeper.

I don't know if I can pinch a Medusa plant. To be totally honest, I had to look up the term. I'm new to gardening. Next week I'll ask my friend, he suggested a Medusa Pepper for indoor container gardening.
