nursery pots vs planters

Help

alrighty, the great debacle. Do you pot in nursery pots or just put your plants directly into the planter?

I had majority of mine in clear nursery pots. I liked being able to see the water touch all points of the soil. However, I felt like I was having to water too often. I was watering all my plants weekly.

For context: majority of my plants were in 4-6inch pots and I’ve noticed those need to be watered more than the few I had in a 10inch pot.

About a week ago I repotted all of my children directly into the planters. Nursery pots begone! Now, I’m regretting my decision. Leaves are yellowing and I’ve had to trim some of my favorites back a ton.

Should I repot them into the nursery pots? Or leave them and see how they do?
