Ooooo! Love the chunky root bound plants pictures!

Definitely a good idea to repot. That's a lot of roots! I have one question the white pot doesn't look much bigger than the root ball is that what you put it into or what you took it out of?

It was in a 6in pot and then I put it in the white one which is about 8in. I would have liked to put it in something bigger but that’s what I had haha

No, you did good. It's generally not advisable to go more than one pot size larger. Most plants don't like to have that much unused soil around them. It fosters root rot.
