I got this climbing aloe a little over two years ago and it has never been repotted. When I got it it was close to 4 inches tall and it since has exploded to over 2 feet should I consider reporting or leave it be since it seems to be growing so well?

It’s always scary to repot when they’re doing so well, but repotting is always a risk. I would recommend a repot, but don’t increase the size of the pot by over 2 inches in diameter. The growth might slow down, but in the end your plant will thank you for the extra space for its roots

I would go ahead and repot while it’s still “small” to prevent it from becoming root bound

That holiday cactus looks so happy!

I’d leave it. Mine has been in the same pot for ages. They like it and shoot off more babies. They grow like weeds, don’t they?
