Probably wait another year. They don't mind being crowded.

I bottom water mine. Just make sure they don't sit in water to long. also wait until the soil is completely dry between waterings, they are drought tolerant and don't like soggy soil. All of mine are potted in clear pots and sit in decorative pots. When I water them, I move them to a bowl and pour water in until it reaches near the top of the pot. Let them soak for about 30 minutes and then remove them to drain. Once the water stops dripping, I return them to their decorative pots. If you only have a decorative cache pot you can use it and dump the water after 30 minutes.

I second this about watering (I bottom water EVERYTHING). But I’m not sure about a whole nother year for repotting. They have massive roots especially with the rhizome. It might last to the end of the year at most imo.

Mine recently broke a plastic pot with how much it grew in just 1 year.
