Wear leather gloves and place one hand on top of the plant to keep it from falling onto the ground and flip the whole thing over and slowly pull the pot out. Also tap and squeeze the pot to get the pot free from the dirt and roots.

So i should repot in a bigger pot?

#### Ezzeldin Yaqoub replied on 2024-11-25

Yes, it should be 2 sizes bigger.

I don’t know if this actually needs a bigger pot. If you pull it out and you see more roots than soil, it needs a repot. If not, you can just tuck the root into the pot and let it keep growing.

Yeah, I’m not convinced it needs repotting either. It doesn’t look too overgrown. And cacti and succulents actually do better when they’re a bit rootbound. It’s up to you though.
