Negative aspect about the new “pot” is that the drainage hole might not suffice… I’m afraid that a second hole will compromise the structural integrity… Maybe it’s all in my head 🤪
I think that is a fairly big pot for such a small tree, but if that works for you it’s all good. My trees are sitting in pots that are considered too deep, but I keep them on a balcony where it can get blistering hot in summer. The deeper pots hold more moisture when I water them in the morning, so that my trees won’t dry out before I get home from work.

Pot is too large and drainage is too small. Your soil will definitely be staying too wet for this pine.

I encourage everyone to stop up their moss game.
**Benefits of full surface and alive moss:** Point of filtration Aids in water percolation Nitrogen fixing Carbon source Supports nutrient recycling Protects soil / roots from sun damage Protects soil / roots from wind damage Protects soil from water degradation Protects soil / roots from bird damage Allows roots to occupy the whole pot Improves water column and watering Supports micro flora and fauna Excellent esthetics Soil microclimate: moisture and soil temperature
