Hi,  
All the roots are pushing out the top of the soil, should I repot this one too?  
As a side note, it seems I have some double flowers on this one, that’s new. Last time I looked, they were single.🤷‍♀️

If you’re not wanting to repot while she’s blooming you can always add a bit more soil to cover the roots!

I’ll probably repot then. The white pot is just a cover pot, the soil is bulging out of the inner nursery pot.

Thanks for answering though.

If the roots are pushing out of the top of the soil, it’s a sign that the plant may be root-bound and could benefit from repotting. Here’s what your friend can do:

1\. Repotting: Choose a pot that is about 1-2 inches larger in diameter than the current pot. Fresh soil will provide more room for the roots to grow and better nutrients.  
2\. Soil Type: Use well-draining potting mix. A mix designed for aroids or houseplants works well for Anthuriums.  
3\. Gently Loosen Roots: When repotting, carefully loosen the roots if they’re tangled or circling the pot. This will help them spread out into the new soil.

As for the double flowers, that might be a normal variation in growth or the result of favorable growing conditions. It’s a fun and unique change that can happen sometimes, so it’s not something to worry about!

Your friend’s plant seems to be doing well overall; repotting should help keep it healthy and thriving.
