You won’t know if it’s time to repot until you remove the pot and see all the roots. More roots than soil means it time to repot. More soil than roots means no repotting needed. Check again later if the roots are not blocking drain holes.

You can kill the plant if you repot to a larger size too soon. Adding too much soil around the roots means the roots can’t use up all the moisture. The plant will sit in wet soil too long leading to root rot.

A good amount of plants enjoy being more on the root bound side. I would look up to see bc I don’t know anything about this type of plant. Also I completely agree with what Sunny said!

That’s a good point. Spider plants can stay in the same size pots for a long time. Baby bunny bellies is a tradescantia with thread like roots. It takes a while to get root bound.

Yes! I’ve also found zz’s, snake plants, my fiddle, umbrella and so many more like to be root-bound!
