# Hi there! Beginner plant owner, I’ve had my snake plant in this pot…

_Posted by Andy on 2025-05-29_

Hi there!  
Beginner plant owner, I’ve had my snake plant in this pot for about two years with great growth and minimal issues.  
Do you guys think that it’s time to repot or separate the snake plant into different pots?  
Thank you for the help!

I’ve never had a snake plant that big, but I do know that they like being tight and close and not to big of a pot if you repot

### Erika commented on 2025-05-29

I think it looks pretty good still

I would leave it right where it is. They like to be a bit root bound and there is still lots of space for new growth. This one is mine and it is still pushing new growth after being potted in this pot last fall.

Came here to say this - they like to be root bound, so you can sit back and relax :)

Thank you all for the help!

If it’s happy, I’d leave it be!

I think the decision should be what kind of look you want for the snake plant. You can divide or let it go. The plant will be fine either way. Personally I let them go. I like the filled pot.

Repot

They like to be crowded.
