Yes! It means your potting medium is alive and full of nutrients.

Maybe no? - your potting medium may be staying wet for too long and isn’t getting a proper wet-dry cycle.

Does you pot have drainage holes, how long does it stay wet after watering, and is the plant generally happy?

Great! But if not, maybe I could repot it? It doesn’t have drainage holes and I’ve been meaning to get it a pot that does . Do you think this would be a good idea?  
But yes the plant seems to be happy :) it has new sprouts and is standing tall and strong

Yeah, you’ll definitely want a pot with drainage long term. Soil that stays wet for too long can lead to root rot and pests, specifically fungus gnats. I recommend repotting into a plastic nursery pot with drainage holes and you can still use the outer decorative pot.
