When to repot zz plant?

I was recently gifted this zz plant, and it is quite root bound. The pot isn't circular and the roots are pushing out the raised bottom. Should I repot? (Also it has a small spider mite problem so I'm going to spray with neem oil, any other tips?) #ZzPlant

Yes you need to re-pot that baby, I got one, pot was so misshaped the pot baby couldn't move lol.
I think it is definitely time to repot, and fresh soil may help with the spider mite problem as well!
Agree with both @Sassylimey & @Marthamaywho92! Your baby is ready for a new pot 😊
I bought one and left it on the enclosed porch. A month later, it seemed to have doubled in size. The plastic pot was misshapen from being root bound. The color of the plastic got lighter as the root pushed against it.
I uppotted, it's gotten taller and shooting new branches.
Most of my self esteem is based on how this plant has thrived since I bought it.
