Bought SOP for the first time, should I repot this plant? Or leave it as it is.

Leave it as long as possible

If you have just bought it, I reccoment you stay with the nursery pot for as long as your plant can, until you feel like there is too much root growth or problems with the pot.

Agreed, string of pearls can be dramatic so don’t repot until absolutely necessary and try to be really gentle when you do.
