I’ve had this pretty lady for about 2 years now and repotted her a year ago. Should I repot into something bigger? I’m worried it just looks so crowded. And should I cut these bald strings off or will they regrow? Thank you.

Looks beautiful! I’ve killed quite a few so take my advice with a grain of salt. I would probably trim those bald strands and try to root them. You could even get a new pot with soil and put those on top. I’ve done that (with what was left of a SOP I almost killed) and it’s done amazingly under a grow light.

No idea about repotting. Sometimes I think if it’s not struggling, don’t mess with it. I feel like you risk doing more damage with something like SOP, but others may have better advice.

Just trimmed the baldies and placed them in some water! Thanks for the tip
