Pots for AVs
One more.
I made one hole in the bottom, actually these are soup bowls, but beautiful for plants, So I bought these for AVs.
Last month I received the leaves and today I repoted in these pots, They also have small roots.
generally, it is better to root AV leaves in small containers. It's possible, but not as easy or as fast, to root them in large ones. The explanation often given is that the leaf will keep making roots while there is lots of space left in the pot, and not sprout new leaves until later. So, I would recommend leaving them in small pots. Or, at a minimum, putting all three leaves in one pot.
I think the pots would be fine for AVs, once they are big enough. It is best to pot them in containers that are only slightly bigger than the root ball.

Thank you very much, as I am new with AVs,so dont know much about these. I will do as directed.
Once they get bigger and you can repot into those larger bowls, you'll have some nice specimens. They love those shallow containers. Those would be great for episcia especially,

I transfered these leaves in small pots now, pictures are here. Are these okay now? Episcia is new to me.
