Do you think I should repot my golden pothos? Lots of roots along the outside of the pot / soil. I’d likely keep it in the same pot size, but repot for better integration with the soil. Would love advice!

Dealers choice.

If it’s still putting out new growth I’d leave it alone. Once new growth slows or consistently gets smaller, then I’d repot.

Pothos can handle being root bound, so I always wait till the plant gives me signs.

I agree with this and lean towards letting it cook for a couple more months. Plenty of space still in the pot.
