Do I need to repot my alocasia zebrina again? I repotted it about a month ago because it was root bound and wouldn’t stand up on its own. As I was watering it today I noticed that some roots are starting to poke out the bottom already. I don’t want to cause stress by repotting too soon. Any suggestions?

That is beautiful!

Looks like a massive pot for a zebrina but if the roots are that big then go for it

I wouldnt repot until it is significantly root bound. Alocasia like to be snug in their pots.
