hi dude the repotting in this plant is not good. in every plant you must wait till the roots go out of hole of pot.this situation tell us to change the pot! most of plants for optimal growth needs to be root bounded and when you change the pots you give time to roots to grow and suspend the stem growth till the root reach an optimal growth.

I should probably just keep him in this little pot then, for now. I don't see any roots from the holes yet. But it just seems he's a bit wobly in this little pot. But I'll hold off on repotting until spring or when his roots seem better rooted :) thanks for the help sohrab!

I've got to disagree with the comment about roots coming out of the hole as a sign of repotting needed. Roots can be completely encircled, without sufficient medium and still not emerge from the drainage hole.

I'd simply lift the plant from the pot and examine the root ball, a simple procedure that won't harm it one single bit. That's the only way to tell.

This plant looks like an infant. How tall is it and what is the size of the container?

Hi thanks for your help rhizo. The plant is about 15-16 inches from the bottom of the pot to the highest tip on the plant. The pot itself is 4 inches. My mom said she received the plant as a gift from a coworker on dec 23. (Probably bought at Walmart or somewhere, it was in one of those cardboard boxes with "Charlie brown christmas tree" on it) also when I took it off my moms not so green thumbs it was just sitting in the box in a very wet baggy of water, obviously over watered. So on about dec 29 I removed it from that and put it into a small bowl to drain. Also didn't water it for about a week after that? Figured it had enough h2o.

Also, more question arise .. The more you post the more you learn :) ... What exactly should I be looking for in the root ball?
Thanks for all the help!
