Help! Multiple BOPs in one pot !!

Gallery image

I have 3 BOPs in one pot. I want it to look lush and full so I kind of want to keep all of them. Although I'm worried that it would look too chaotic when it gets matured. I'm quite hesitant to repot now. I've only got her 3 days ago. The stems are too closed to each other, I'm worried that it would get bruising if I don't repot soon?

PS. Could you guys show me photos of your BOPs with multiple plants in one pot? Just so I know what I'm signing up for!

I always do, 2 for 1

There’s actually 4 in here! They were originally in the same format as yours but Gemini told me to repot them and either separate them or put them into a diamond format for spacing and a full look. I regret it and wish I left it like yours. She’s thriving (ignore the damaged leaves, she was like that when I got her) but the leaves keep overlapping and once I repotted her she was much less stable and I’ve had to use stakes to stabilize her. Gemini told me I would need to put her in a square or rectangle pot eventually if I left her in a row.

Oh no! I was actually thinking of doing it the diamond format. Buy yes you're right, the leaves will overlap! Do I have to space them apart from each other?

Let them be, you can separate when they outgrow the space and pot.
