Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Can you use too large a pot for brugs?, 1 by lincolnitess

Thanks everyone for all the advice. I feel very much like a first time mother who has no idea how to care for her babies! I think I need to do lots more reading and invest in a brug book. I posted a photo of the Peaches and Cream brug cutting I started last fall earlier and since then I have moved it outside. It was in a 5 gallon pot and I moved it to what is maybe a 10 gallon pot, so I think it is OK. Since then, I ordered a Dr Suess and 3 nameless ones from eBay, a white, pink and yellow. All these cutings were at least 24" tall. Dr Suess is in a 15 gallon pot and the other 3 went into the 18 gallon totes. I did put gravel in the bottom to help with them not blowing over and planted coleus along with them. Then I did some trading with another DG member and he sent me 2 nice Charles Grimalddi cuttings. One is planted in the ground and the other in a 12 gallon pot. This is a photo of the one I rooted and grew over winter. It looks a little the worse for wear since being out in the real world. Do you think I should cut off the smaller of the 2 shoots that started from the original cutting? Can you tell I am a brug addict in the making?
