Honestly they seem to like being a bit root bound. It depends on the size of the root ball not the plant. It ASLO depends on your preference. If you want a bushier/fuller plant or you notice it getting leggy just chop some of the length and prop it back in (pull bottom leaves to expose nodes). These like their feet to stay moist but not soggy. It’s a cute lil guy for sure!

bushier for sure

If it were me I would chop and make cuts where my marks are. Then pop them back in so the exposed nodes are covered
