Should I repot her? If so, is the pot pictured a reasonable size? It’s a Alocasia Frydek variegated

    I would wait until you have more roots before repotting. General rule of thumb when you repot is that the pot should be 1-2” larger than the root ball

    I would personally repot it to give it more space and encourage new growth. Each time you repot, go up by about an inch in pot size.

    Alocasias like being on the rootbound, so you can wait longer than you would with most plants

    That’s barely any roots. Repotting too soon can lead to root rot since the roots have to use up all of the water in the soil before they rot.
