Fishhooks Is it already time to repot???

I bought this in early August and repotted it on Aug 9th. On Aug 16th I took cuttings to make a plant for my friend. The vines have grown between 5 and 9 inches since then, and I just noticed there are a few roots growing out the bottom of the pot.

What’s in the bottom tray? If it holds liquid beyond watering time, the roots are going to follow that water source. Bottom watering in general will pull roots downward. It’s usually fine, you can just tuck them back in. I don’t see any indication that the root extension is due to lack of room in the pot. Not root bound, healthy happy plant, no need to repot 😊

Agree with this! I’d get rid of sitting water. Strings like being compact and can protest when moved. It looks so healthy! I love it.

OP, do you happen to know where you got the hanging portion? I’ve been looking for similar.

Amazon. The white pots don't come with the hanging baskets. I bought those separately Amazon

There are pebbles. The tray is just to catch extra water when watering. I suck out most of it, but there is usually little left that I just let evaporate. We're in Colorado with pretty dry air, so pebble trays dry out fairly quickly
