Thanks, I will take some pics today. I am going to use one of the handful of test strips I have left to test it before I repot it. I bought it just before V-day, so I am not sure when it was potted. I really appreciate everyone's help

Just soak the plant, squeeze the pot all around and just gently pull the plant out the pot. Look at see if the roots are rotting or if they are fine. If fine you can just put back i pot no need to repot or go up a size and dont trouble the roots...just pack the extra space with more medium.
