Should I repot?

Should I repot my #SnakePlant #Dracaena ? I’ve had it 3 years and I don’t think it’s budged. And about a year ago my kitten chomped on it. Should I perhaps get it in some fresh soil?
1ft to light, indirect
10” pot with drainage
Last watered 6 months ago

Snake plants is a slow grower and rarely needs repotting. They like being a little snug in their pot. Expert claim you should repot this plant:
β€’Every 3 to 5 years.
β€’When you see roots growing on the surface or through the drain holes.
β€’When the plant is overcrowded & needs to be divided.
β€’When its root bound and the roots cracked the pot.
It may be best to transplant it in the same size pot. I hope your plant lives long and prosper.
A bigger pot and fresh soil will help it grow
Repot wouldn't hurt. But get it some light! It will love it and reward you with growth!
Snake plants are marketed as low light plants and yes they will survive there but they thrive in light!
Btw my whale fin has kitty tooth marks on it too 🀣🀣🀣
@ManyLime thanks!
@ManyLime Snake plants are toxic to pets. I hope kitty is ok.
@Ada3 yeah she was fine. She was so fine she did it many times. But she outgrew it lol
@Ada3 oh kitty is fine. Honestly im assuming it was kitty but my whale fin was outside so it could have been a raccoon or skunk lol. Either way it was the 1 bite and that's it. I guess it wasn't yummy!
