How do y’all know when it’s time to repot?  
I have this plant that has grown a TON. I see roots coming out of the bottom of the pot, but it’s also still growing a couple new leaves each week and most leaves look pretty good so I don’t want to mess with it. There are a couple burnt leaves here and there but think they’re older.

the new leaves (?) in the middle look a little small, and if they are in fact the new leaves that’s a good indicator it needs a more space to grow. roots coming out of the drainage holes combined with miniature new leaves tells me it’s definitely time to repot

REPOT using the same soil just more and a bigger pot that poor plant is suffocating itself

I’m on it! Thank you for the advice. I was just surprised because I repotted /sized up in June. It has been growing fast!
