Kelly cute plant ! Nice growing. Chiritas do like small tight spaces, on the cooler side and dry.
Like Jill mentioned a cup would do great. A 3 inch solo cup would be great for it.
MY Chirita sinensis 'Hisako' is about 20 inches , one leaf is longer than my hand and arm. lol and it's just in a 5 inch azeala pot !
I fount the grow fast , like all plants have to be a good mature size before blooming I would say.
Here is my plant on the front right when it was small in bloom. but it had a good root system as I had take half a dozen or so leaves off to grow babies.
