What are the signs that a plant is root-bound

Sure! Here are four different ways to explain the signs that a plant is root-bound:

**Classic Signs**: One big sign is when you see roots poking out of the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot. If the plant is also growing really slowly or looks a bit sad, it might be root-bound.

**Pot Check**: If you take the plant out of its pot and notice that the roots are all tangled up and circling around, that’s a clear indicator. Plus, if the soil dries out super fast, it could mean the roots are taking up all the space.

**Growth Issues**: If your plant’s leaves are turning yellow or it’s not growing like it used to, it could be a sign it’s root-bound. Also, if the plant feels super top-heavy or wobbly, that’s a clue too.
