Do you think this fiddle leaf fig needs repotting? I didnt think so at first but there is small root coming out of one of the drainage holes at the bottom.

if you aren’t in a warm state, at least wait until it gets consistently warmer out so the fig doesn’t throw a fit

Thanks for the advice!

I wouldn’t repot- the ratio looks more than fine. They tend to have roots that grow upward, so that’s normal. If you start to get lots of roots on top by the mid-end of the summer, you can add some fresh top soil to cover them. That’s what I’ve done. I’ve had mine in the same nursery pot for two years. 🌿

It looks like a small plant from the pic. How big is the pot?

I wouldn’t repot it, from what I see here. But not sure if I’m missing something.

Fiddles are ok being somewhat root bound and like being a bit snug. Hard to tell exactly from the photo but based on size of leaves and height of plant in relation to the pot, it looks fine to me.  
I don’t repot my fiddles every year and they’re happy.

Ok! Thank you very much! : )
