# Hi. I asked before if my spider plant should be repotted and I was…

Hi. I asked before if my spider plant should be repotted and I was given different answers. I took it out of the pot to see the roots and this is how it is. The second pic is the top of the plant where you can see some roots but maybe that’s because it’s not planted deep enough.  
Anyways is it time to repot? 🤔🤔  
You probably should click on the first pic to see the full pic of it.

Yep, looks like repot time to me. Is that a 6” pot that it is in now? If so repot into a 7”-8” pot and yes, plant it just a little deeper.

It’s in a 4 inch pot now so I was gonna get a 6 inch one.

Looks like repot time. But with my spiders I tend to wait. They like being a little root bound in my experience. So don’t worry too much! Here’s mine and I’m not planning to repot until spring. We’ll see if she can make it through the winter like this.
