Just received this begonia and looks like it needs love. I’m new to the plant mom life. So wondering if I should repot? Thinking it needs more room?

I usually repot as soon as I bring a plant home but that’s me. Begonias like well draining soil, love humidity and indirect sun. I’d also recommend inspecting the rootball well when you re pot to make sure everybody g looks good and trim off any spent leaves. Otherwise she looks pretty healthy!

I’m so jealous of the height of this begonia 🙂‍↔️
