    Pepper and chilli plants are too big for their pots so I need to put in bigger pots but what size is best?
    They are going from 9cm pot into 15cm pots but should I just put them in even bigger pots now to save re potting in the near future? or is it not good for them to be in too big a pot?

    Thanks PXL_20220625_101924658.jpg

    That looks perfect, I would pot on gradually as you are doing. Putting any plant into too big a pot can slow it down.
