Help, all of a sudden the leaves began to droop down and smaller ones underneath are yellowing and drying out entirely.

I added water as it definitely needed some. As for root bound, what does that mean?

#### Rhondaさんが2023-07-22に返信しました

It means it’s outgrowing the pot. Ways to tell are that you might see roots growing out of the drainage holes or piling up at the surface or edges of the pot. Also it’ll make it thirstier since there’s so many roots in proportion to the soil and it can’t keep enough water to be happy. When you lift the plant from pot the roots might be coiled up tightly or smashed all the way to the edges of the pot walls.  
If any of those indicators of being root-bound repot the plant into a new pot one or two inches bigger than current one.

Oh, with enough practice you’ll eventually get a feel for when it’s time to check. Especially as you get to know how different varieties behave

I lifted the pot and from the drainage holes, there were no roots coming out

If you pull the plant with soil out, you’ll see roots going around the base or coming out the bottom of the pot  
See example image attached
