Do not repot now, but use the method of a large pot covering a small pot. Put the seedling directly into the large pot, fill the pot with soil, make the soil deeper to use the soil for insulation, and try not to damage the roots. After finishing, water thoroughly once to let the loose soil and roots make close contact.
2. Indoor maintenance
It is recommended to keep it indoors. Even if there are some yellow leaves later, there is no need to worry. It's just a normal process of adapting to the pot, and yellow leaves in winter are also normal.
3. Slightly dry maintenance
