You could definitely wait. They like being root bound, you would want to see more roots than soil.

Thought it may be too early, as only repotted about 2 months ago! Just went to water today \& first time id seen the root out of the bottom!

i'd just chop off that root sticking out 🙈 she's definitely not ready yet. you want that thing to look like a dry ramen brick.

Plenty of time to wait then😊
