@LilMack931 - Hello Mackenzie 🥰
If I were you, I’d go ahead and repot now! That way you know what kind of soil it’s in, the condition of the roots, and check it a little more thoroughly for pests, bacteria, and or fungus! Especially if you didn’t get it from a nursery!
If you got it from a nursery and not a big box store, then you can wait! The reason I say this is because the big box stores such as Lowe’s and Home Depot don’t care about their plants as much! I mean they care don’t get me wrong, just not as much!
Now I will say from experience, if it’s a Costa Farms plant then it needs to be repotted immediately because they have a tendency to use straight coco coir with no perlite and as we both know, that’s a recipe for disaster! I know because I get a lot of plants from them and have lost a few due to coco coir 😓
But of course, it’s totally up to you! The ball is in your court 😍

I always wait a couple of weeks and let them acclimate to my home before I repot to prevent shock. If I think it is struggling (root rot, pests, etc), I will repot immediately.
I typically give them a drink and isolate them in case they have pests (I don't want to infect the rest of my hoard), put them in a cute cover pot and give them a couple of weeks to get used to the new surroundings.
Good luck.

@JenniferNoel Thank you… I repotted her last night. I noticed the roots were growing out of the bottom on its pot and just figured I needed to go away with repotting.
