REPOT HELP PLS

[Cvntcrusher]

HEY GUYS so the roots are barely coming out of bottom so it's time to repot. I watered her with a cup and a half of water. How long should I wait to transplant? I dont want to wait too long and soil be too dry or too soon and fall apart.

Here she is. Watered. Eagerly awaiting her 5gal fabpot so she can live more comfortably

Wait until the roots are blasting out of the drain holes and you wont have to worry about rootball damage

Roots coming out the bottom isnt a sign of being rootbound. Typically i see roots coming out the bottom of a plastic pot in 7 to 14 days. You can tell its time to repot when your waterings need to be more frequent, like every day.
When you do repot, doing it dry is the easiest. Just fill the new pot around the one your plant is in, the pop it out of the old pot and into the perfect hole in your new one.

So I should wait?

Found that simple repotting method here somewhere... The riu community has answered pretty much every question if you dig long enough.

Well I guess I'll wait a couple days to a week see how she looks root wise and then transplant

If you are really wanting to know you could just pull it out of the pot and check.

I wouldnt call this one rootbound

No way I guarantee I pull it out and it falls apart

Thats the trick. If its got rootspace, pulling it out of the pot isnt a great idea
Looking at your plant, it seems pretty small in the pot it is in and could probably stay there for a few weeks easy

This is the same plant, in that little pot.
About twice the height and twice the width of the pot.
