Is it time for a bigger pot?

@BloomRookie Hi Ivana! πŸ‘‹ Welcome πŸ€— Beautiful little cactus and I love the pot! I would say no to a bigger pot. A cactus roots are shallow and can withstand a pot that is smaller than you would initially think. Any larger and it will take too long for the soil to dry out possibly causing root rot. β˜ΊοΈπŸ’š
@princesspitstop Thank you so much!
@BloomRookie My pleasure ☺️
@BloomRookie no. Give it time. They have small root bases. It's why when even in the wild many of our cactuses are on endangered species lists because of their small root bases. Your cactus has time before you repot
