hi. i just bought these at a local grocery store and i'm not sure what they've been watered with, so i was thinking about reppotting them. the pots look pretty small to me too. is the media i have pictures of safe to use? should i rinse it somehow with r.o. water?

It should be fine as long as there are no added fertilizers.

The plants look great! Also, the peat and perlite should be fine :)! For sure the peat, since it says (Canadian Sphagnum). Good luck repotting!

I only use brads from shultz, They unlike miracle grow are a nice and good soil company that doesn't add
added fertilizers. So go ahead and use it.

Also, you have very healthy plants that were confined in those tiny terriums.
