hi friends! I just did a soil refresh on my white wizard yesterday. when i pulled him out of the pot his roots were pretty tight. as of right now i just put him back in the same pot as i don’t have a bigger one at the moment, but should I start looking into a bigger pot for him? i know some plants like to be root bound a little and wanted to get some advice on this philly. i only have a lemon lime philodendron and a micans so their structures are different.

This is totally fine! They like to be snug. I wouldn’t repot into a larger pot until there are more roots than soil. I also would recommend a chunkier potting soil next time. Adding perlite and orchid bark help improve drainage

this is exactly why i repotted it! i got it from target and it seemed to be in some sort of mossy thick soil 😭. i repotted it with a mix of regular potting mix and a succulent mix of park and perlite!
