| I have a teeny bopper I just got from Rob's. I have some pictures. I just don't know what to do, because it looks a little odd. Thanks.

| Looks right to me! Looks just like mine did when I bought him from him at the Hartford Flower Show. What is it you think is "wrong"? |

| is it in the right sized pot and everything? |

| P.S. Maybe you think it looks "wrong" because it's un-centered in the cup and has a long neck? You ought to repot it anyways, Rob's soil mix is pretty heavy... Not to mention the standard 3oz cup his plants come in is a bit big for Teeny Bopper so I'd suggest potting it down. |

| Which size would you recommend? |

| The general rule for potting A/Vs is 1/3 of the the plant's diameter. |

| Hi Spiderplant, I agree with m3, teenybopper looks just fine. It probably should be in a smaller pot. I would recommend something about half the diameter. Those pots are kind of hard to find. They're called thumb pots. Although a nice size container for a plant of this size is one of those containers that have half and half are in at a restaurant. Maybe it's time to go out for a cup of coffee? lol In my case it's always time to go up for a cup of coffee. lol Teenybopper grows pretty slow so it will be a while before it is large enough to be planted in a dixie cup or comparable size container. I hope this helps, Larry |

| I found a creamer cup! I had to trim some roots, but it looks better! (that rob's soil IS heavy).
