Pull off the pot. More roots than soil shows it needs repotting. Don’t assume roots coming out of the bottom means it’s root bound. You have to check all of the roots.

I was thinking of getting a larger pot, I only have fiscus soil so I can’t pull it out the pot yet

#### Sunny님이 2024-10-11에 답변했습니다.

Pull it out slightly. Loose soil may indicate it is not root bound Tightly bound soil may mean the roots have woven itself all through the soil. Definitely use cactus soil mix or the soil will retain too much moisture. 🍀🪴

Alright thanks!

You should only repot it if you want it to continue growing if you like it's size right now then it will stay like that

roots coming out of the bottom don’t necessarily mean it’s time to repot — roots follow the water. i agree with sunny, just pop it out of the pot to check. you won’t hurt it (it might hurt you though lol)
