So I have this plant growing like crazy and I am starting to think the pot is too small 🫣 - any advice on the size of the plant and also how to repot it? It’s huge and I am afraid it will brake

I'd only go up maybe 2 or 3 inches for the pot size. I think it may be a 2 person job. I'd prep the new pot with a mix of well draining soil (make sure it has a drainage hole & you have a tray under it!) Then slowly loosen the soil around the roots (I use a chopstick) and lift the plant out. Clean the roots as much as possible and loosen them then place into the new pot & fill it in with additional soil. You may be able to lay it down sideways on a tarp to clean the roots or someone may need to just hold it up while you're working

Short update: Managed to repot it today, she doesn’t look very happy, but I am hoping for the best. Cross fingers for us!

Looks like she needed more water ? How is she doing?

Thank you all for your feedback! It became a bit wonky/leaning to one side when I tried to move it, so now I think I really need to repot it (and maybe even add stakes to hold it?). It has quite a few shoots so I think it might be actually still comfortable in the red pot, but I am definitely not comfortable while looking at it 🤪
I will get a bigger pot, new soil and ask my husband to help carry it.

Yes the pot is 3x too small
I’m not qualified to tell you what soil combo to create for the new pot. That is easily googled though.
What I do know is to pull it out before the next watering, loosen the root system so they aren’t pot shaped. It’s okay if a few roots break. They will regrown, happily.

You need a moist soil as it is a tropical plant. You may want to get some stakes around it OR consider pruning it when you repot it so it remains stable. You can propagate your cuttings.

Yes. The pot is too small.

Is it putting out new shoots? Are the roots coming out from the bottom? These are things to assess. I’m not as familiar with diffens but if the plant is thriving let it be for the moment.
