# Root bound? Do I need to repot? Or is it okay to trim? The plant is…

Root bound? Do I need to repot? Or is it okay to trim? The plant is doing really good but there is one root growing out of it from the bottom of the pot. Any tips are helpful! 😊

You can try to pull it out from the pot a bit and check the roots. If it’s not really snug on the pot yet I’d just trim it

I'd just trim it off and try to tuck the end back up in. If I have a plant that I want to use the same pot for, I just cut the roots back about 20% and repot it in the same pot. They do just fine.
