Hi Rebecca! It's a great idea to repot your Golden Pothos. Here are some tips:
When to Repot:
* Repot your Pothos when it starts to outgrow its current pot.
* You'll notice roots coming out of the drainage holes or the plant looking pot-bound.
Best Time to Repot:
* Spring or early summer is the ideal time to repot your Pothos. This is when the plant is actively growing.
Choosing the Right Pot:
* Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one.
* Make sure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
* A plastic or ceramic pot is a good choice.
Repotting Process:
* Gently remove the plant from its current pot.
* Loosen the roots a bit.
* Place the plant in the new pot and fill in with fresh, well-draining potting mix.
* Water the plant thoroughly.
Aftercare:
* Place the repotted plant in a bright, indirect light location.
* Water regularly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
With proper care, your Golden Pothos will thrive in its new pot!

Do your pots have drainage? If so, you’ll know it’s time to repot when you see roots coming out through the holes. They say it’s always better to repot in spring but I’ve done it every season except winter. Choose any pot you like but make sure it’s only 1”-2” bigger than the existing pot and that it has drainage. Good luck. They’re very pretty!
@Just1More it isn't too large. However, I have noticed the roots are over poking out over the soil. The pot doesn't have draining holes, which makes it a bit difficult to know. Thank you for the advice! I will be more than likely waiting to repot
@USAGardenHub Hello Ashley! Thank you so much for all this information. It was very useful. I will keep this all in mind. Another commenter suggested it might not be necessary to repot just yet. I appreciate all the tips.
