So I have a quick question. It’s been awhile since I took care of plants. I transplanted all of my plants this last summer. They all now have roots coming out of the bottom of the pots. Should I repot? Went from 4” nursery pots to 6” pots.

I would repot probably into 2" bigger pots 🤷

Take utout of the pot and see if there are alot of roots and too many or if these little ones are just deeper than the rest

I agree you have to see if it really needs repotting or are the roots just drinking excess water in the tray. Pull off the pot to see all the roots. It’s unlikely it needs repotting now.
