My two polka dot plants, just recently repotted (month or two ago) and have ALREADY started growing roots out the bottom. Should I trim the roots? Repot and upsize again? Leave them alone and not worry about it? Also not interested in chopping the plant it as I know I’ll get that suggestion :)

    I would actually upsize! They do follow water but it looks like a very full plant , they have small roots but large root systems from my experience with growing and propagating them . It wouldn’t hurt to take it out the pot and see if it needs more room :) and if not then she’s most likely just reaching for the water . Beautiful plant tho!!

      Thank you for sharing your insight and perspective! I can’t believe how fast this thing grows.

      Absolutely! I also could be wrong! Haha, but it looks very happy so keep up the good work! Mine always gets mad at me because I tend to water a day or two late 😒😂

      I made that mistake once with each of mine, now I’m terrified to miss a day after seeing them throw a temper tantrum! LOL
