Hello just picked up a cast iron and spider plant from the nursery and am a beginner. Do they look like they need to be repotted already?

spider plant looks fine might be a little crowded but I know that that’s how they like it, and so do cast iron plants and there roots grow slowly. i wouldn’t worry about repotting either until you can see roots coming out of the drainage holes

Both look fine based on the root and plant conditions. I would not repot it. I would wait a month to change to a pot the same size if you want to get rid of the nursery pots.
