While rocks in the bottom are a common thing, it can actually cause surface tension with the water and not allow it to drain at all. I would highly suggest when you repot put it in something with drainage holes and then put that into your decorative pot.

As for when to repot, as the above poster said, when growth slows or roots come out the bottom. Try to only go up 2-4” larger.

My experience with these tiny pots is its hard to keep them moist enough.
