My Zzz has really outgrown its pot. Do I untangle, loosen these?

the roots look really healthy so I’d say you can just pot in it a bigger pot with fresh new soil around the root ball :)

Thank you!!!

I recently heard not to go too much bigger with ZZ plants though. It said that if their roots have room to grow, they will focus on those and not put out new growth on top. Not sure if this is true or healthy, but maybe something to research and consider.

Definitely going just one size bigger. There’s lots of new growth I don’t want to mess with.
