I’ve read that you should repot when it’s 80% roots and looks like ramen.

What a beauty!

Hard to tell by looking at the top of the soil… honestly you need to pull her out and check the root ball to know. Or if you can see her roots poking out the bottom of the inner pot….

I agree with this, assessing the roots is the best way to tell.

But aside from that - one sign that a plant is root bound is that it becomes really thirsty, needs to be watered more frequently than normal because it's using up the water too quickly.
