I just got this Silver Inch Plant today. I was reading that they prefer a compact pot, and he seems to be thriving in his current condition. So I wasn’t sure if I should repot him into a slightly larger pot or not? He does appear to have some whispy roots coming out of the bottom but nothing too wild. I just want him to live his best life so any advice would be great, thank you!
I would pull it out of its pot and see how rootbound it is. I’ve learned from experience that these actually get rootbound really easily , and they don’t like it. If it is rootbound, I would go up about 2 inches in pot size.

It looks lush and healthy. No need to repot it. One root coming out the bottom is not a definitive sign to repot. I would repot when the plant looks like it has issues and excessive roots are the only cause. Tradescantias can stay in the same pot for years if they are happy.
