Should I repot? Her new leaf is extra small compared to what grew out last time :(

I would tend to wonder about other things like lighting, more so than the pot, if your plants produce smaller leaves in the future (unless it is severely overly root bound). Here’s mine after 3 years in the same pot. 😊

I learn from mine that moving often and repot is go against the plant not helping. Keep it in the same place, rotate a bit if light comes from a side (window) and water as shown in this app. Will grow equal leafs soon enough if constant, and sometimes leafs seem to be smaller but keep growing and after a while you realise are almost the same, so don’t worry.

She looks good. Only repot if you see the roots coming out of the bottom of the pot or popping out the top of your soil. Or if they are circling around the bottom.
