Hey guys!! Should I repot my pothos? I’m new to houseplants so it’s hard to tell when I should!

Is there a nursery pot and are the roots coming out of the drainage holes? Are there more roots than soil? Are you having to water more frequently? Those are usually signs. Repotting has to do with the size of the root ball, not the foliage, so I can’t tell from these pics you have

I agree with Tanya’s comments. If you’re not seeing damaged, yellowing or stunted new growth, i’d wait until spring to repot. I’d use a clear plastic nursery pot (Amazon sells them) and then use a cover pot. This way you can see and monitor the roots. If the roots look like a woven basket in the shape of the pot it’s time to repot. My pothos are loving Mollys Mix and I don’t have gnat issues with this mix.
