She should be ok. Those roots look healthy. Hopefully on only sized up an inch or two. There may still be some transplant and environmental shock.

Typically it’s good to wait a few weeks after bringing a plant home to let them acclimate. Then after that time frame, repot.

She’s a beauty!

What if it was already outside when you bought it and you’re keeping it outside? You live in a 5 mile radius of where you bought it? 🤔
