My spider plant had been growing this BIG root and i'm not sure if it means I should repot it because it's lacking space?

these don’t mind being a bit root bound. they have interesting root systems: lots of very fine roots and also these big chunky crunchy things. when you do decide to repot it might be best to cut this nursery pot off

It’s not an issue. The roots maybe reaching for the drained water. Take off the pot to actually determine if there are more roots than soil. Spider plants prefer to be a bit root bound.

If there are more roots than soil does that mean repot it?
