I bought this beauty about a week ago. Today I am noticing the roots at the surface. Should I be concerned? Or repot? Any guidance is appreciated!

i would add more potting soil (mine is a blend of coco coir, worm castings, and fine perlite) on top to cover the roots and bury them properly when you repot in spring.

They are aerial roots that planted themselves. I would check all the roots for root bound. You may want to repot your a plant in a pot one size larger if the you want a larger plant and have more room to cover exposed roots. I would wait at least a month before repotting to reduce stress on the plant.
