@Itzhuehueplayz Hey Ethen if you pulled Mayonnaise out from the nursery pot & noticed that it is rootbound, I don’t see why you shouldn’t put it in a bigger container. Not too big…generally you want to go up 2” from the previous container. The roots do not need much ruffing up. However, when I repot I loosen the ends just enough to loosen some of the soil to allow the roots some room to spread out in the new soil. With philo’s I like to use a chunky mix: Fox Farms always as the base with added perlite (chunky perlite if I have it on hand), clay Lecca balls, & or orchid bark. In addition after I repot I wait to water a few days to let the plant settle.
Hi Ethan! It's best to repot your plants during growing season, so depending on where you live that may be right now!
It looks like it's in a growers pot which is the easiest to remove (even cutting if need to) so I wouldn't worry too much if your plant isn't showing signs of distress!
Also, when you do (now or later) make sure the pot is only 1-2" wider than its current pot.
