Hi! I was just wanting to get others thoughts on this string of turtles to see if I need to upgrade pot size and propagate some of it? I’m afraid it’s getting too crowded in this small pot, they seem to be layering up but I also know they have small roots.

I’d say only repot if the roots need it☺️ if they have sufficient space it’s as happy as can be

I’d also wait to repot! If she starts yellowing, or needs to be watered multiple times a week, then I’d repot. IME string of turtles can grow like crazy from a very small root mass. 😊
