Should I repot?
Curious to know if this pot should be upsized or if the soil should be replaced!
If so, I was thinking of a mix of 2 parts potting soil, 1 1 part orchid bark, and 1 part perlite.
Thoughts?

@PoignantEllisia as for the soil mix, trust me, a good chunky aroid mix will do the job just fine. They love it. I do not recommend potting mix for them, although I do encourage research, of course. Mine are all in the mix I told you
First, as for the soil, for Anthuriums I found that they enjoy a soilless chunky aroid mix. I use peat moss, perlite, pine bark, charcoal, coco fiber. They love it.
As for the repotting, I would worry about the season. My Clarinervium has very thick roots, so sometimes it looks like it's rootbound, but it's just the size of the roots. I am not entirely sure in your case it's the best time/case to do it.
But I would think it's good to hear others too

@Gustavo that's a good point. I don't think this is the best soil mix for the plant.
I'm leaning towards picking up an upsize pot and just repotting into a more well draining soil, and if I notice the roots popping off, I can put it in the larger pot

@PoignantEllisia it was life changing for me! Especially because I grow a lot of philodendrons! Charcoal I was a bit worried about but research convinced me, especially because I worry a lot about my plants gettting sick and it works wonders with bacterial stuff, besides working as a helper to aeration in this case. Hope you like it!
