Finally did a repot, check out those roots!

This took 3 months to get rootbound (last repot was in Jan) 🖤

Woah! How do you get roots to grow so fast! What was your sign that it needed to be repotted again?

I always try and keep my plants in clear nursery pots, so every watering I check on it. I think even if it wasn’t in a clear pot, my indication would’ve been the roots that are sticking out on the bottom 😊 when I did my repot, I had to cut open the pot it was in, it was so tightly bound in there!
