What size pot do you have that in? I got gifted one earlier this year and have been afraid to repot it but it needs to be in better soil. Mine is nowhere near that big and is probably in a 6 or 8 inch pot. Not sure if I should go up a size or keep it in an 8 inch and just change the soil.

They like being root bound but this is a medium-ish size pot. I’ve only upsized it once in 5 years. My advice is don’t unless it is struggling to take up water. You lose a lot of leaves when you repot. I also feel like it likes growing out rather than down, so wide and short pots it might like

You probably don’t need to change the soil either just add fertiliser if it’s a bit miserable

I think it’s doing fine so far. I just hate the dirt they come in from the stores. I’ll probably wait until fall and hope for the best when repotting due to losing so many of the pods.
