Does my Begonia coccinea need to be potted up?

#Begonia do they need to be potted up? I've had it for almost a year, the soil stays together if lifted out of the pot and the water seems to run through quickly but I don't see a lot of roots.
0ft to light, direct
4” pot with drainage
Last watered 2 years ago
I would definitely do a repot esp if your soil is becoming hydrophobic that’s not good begonias love to be wet in my experience I have mine in a mix that has moss added in to keep it wet longer and they love it look how massive they are
@Michelle5986😍 WOWWW!
@GreenThumbSC ty they are some of my favs
@Michelle5986 I do keep it moist, it does absorb water but not much. I was more wondering if it should have a bigger pot.
@ExuberantBasil it possibly is time for a bigger pot begonias have tiny roots really thin
