How would you repot this guy??? There are lots of little stems throughout the pot and I finally got potting soil.

I would shake off as much dirt from the roots as I can, and loosen up the roots if it appears root bound. If you want to keep the plant all together I’d try and repot it exactly as it is, just in a slightly bigger pot. I find my plants do best if I don’t disturb them too much during a repot. But if you want to split it up, I’d carefully separate each of those stems and put one to three in a smaller pot and have multiple plants.

i would suggest not repotting until spring since it’s healthy. this way it will be fully acclimated to your home by the time it gets repotted as well

It has been in my home for a while now and there is some mold growing on the soil due to poor drainage. It grows a new leaf almost every other day but I just want it to be okay

Also how long should I wait to water after I repot it?

I use a 50/50ish mix of soil and perlite for all my prayer plants
