i need to know when to repot my plants, like signs in the leaves. because resently i repotted a golden pothos because he was very droopy and sad. ( yellow leaves etc) i repotted him to a way bigger pot bc he also had rlly compacted roots. So in the later future i want to know when i need to!

You have to look at the roots to know if the plant needs repotting. Also, repotting to a pot one size larger is usually standard. Using too large a pot can lead to root rot when the plant can’t use up all the water in the soil.
