Do you think that I should replant these Eve’s needle cacti? There are three in the pot.

Generally, if the roots have little to no space between them I would say to repot. Cacti roots like to be close but not too close, they still need space to grow, but these guys look like they might be a little cramped. I would also recommend double checking how rootbound this specific species prefers to be since it does differ between cacti. The more rootbound it likes to be, the less space you need. Hope this helps! Your cacti look very nice!

Agree with Sofia, and will add a couple easy ways to tell are:

1\. The roots are sticking out of the bottom drainage holes.

2\. You’re having to water more frequently (more roots means less soil area to retain moisture to feed those roots between waterings, if that makes sense).
