When roots look like that, then the plant is “root bound.” When a plant is that root bound, then it does indeed mean it’s time for an upgrade! Choose a pot 1-2 inches bigger than the one it’s in, and give it new soil!

Yes definitely repot! ☺️

Definitely! Other signs you need to repot are water going straight through too fast and yellowing leaves :)
