# Ok so I think this fellow needs a new pot, she’s grown like crazy in…

_Posted by Lolly on 2024-05-09_

Ok so I think this fellow needs a new pot, she’s grown like crazy in the last six months. Her newer leaves are starting to get little brown spots, I don’t think that it has pests. There are some fungus gnats but they have been around for a while. Thanks in advance!

I personally don’t think it needs a repot, it looks pretty big enough, I’d keep an eye on the spots and if they grow/multiply it could be overwatering or a fungal infection

It doesn’t look like it needs repotting. It may even need downsizing to a smaller pot. A plant that size typically can’t use up all of the water in that much soil before root rot sets in Check the root density by removing it from the pot. More roots than soil means it’s time to repot. Decay has set in if the soil smells. This means root rot has started.

You can add more of the same plants to the pot to use up more water if you want to keep it on the same pot.
