Wait a day or two after watering, you should be able to gently lift the whole plant out of its pot. Then you can see what the root are actually doing. Pothos can handle being snug.

If you have more than 50% roots:soil then its getting time to upsize.

Thank you! Will check tomorrow :)

If it doesn’t come out easily as one unit then don’t try to pry it out.

A couple other tests would be the amount of roots coming out the bottom. Or do a squeeze test, if after watering the pot squishes fairly easily then you can leave it. If it feels quite hard then it could need to go up a size.

Is it root bound?
