Should I transplant?

| Hello,
I sprouted hibiscus seeds last summer and have two small plants about 2 inches high in a 4 inch pot. They seem to be doing okay, but I was wondering if they like to be crowded or should I transplant to a different size pot.
Sometimes things are best left alone, but I want to do what is best for them. They are in an East window and they seem to be happy there.
Might I get flowers by the end of summer?

| If it ain't broke . . .but sometimes, hibiscus like to be alittle crowded, however I would pull them gently out of the 4" pot and see if the roots are in a tangle. If so, then I think you little buddies will need to go there separate ways and will most likely benefit by having there own 4" pots. |

| Ok, I'll leave alone. One is much larger than the other (different types). Isn't the general rule of thumb height twice the diameter of pot is when to transplant. So when they get 8 inches high... Sagebrush |
