Both of these plants look like they have too small of pots, but seem to be content and healthy. Should I move them to a bigger space or let them be? One is a bamboo the other some kind of pothos.
Each are watered once a week. I used to empty and replace the bamboo water each time but it’s getting to be a bit too big for that. The pothos has good drainage.
They each have a full day of bright but indirect sunlight.

Hi, the philodendron looks good. As long as the pot has a whole in it for drainage it looks really good. You can cut off a vine with nodes and propagate. Once the propagation gets roots you can plant them together for a fuller plant in a larger pot.
The bamboo looks good. It can be fickle and does well with water. I only put mine in a larger vase once the bamboo got too tall and toppled over.
Goodluck!
I would just cause I’d want it to keep growing larger! But only sure way is to look at the roots and see if its rootbound. If kept in the same size and it keeps growing it can end up hurting the plant
You don’t need to repot anything unless it’s going to run out of space for it’s roots to grow in the near future. Nobody can tell this online unless you take the plant out of the pot though :).
Your Epipremnum/Pothos is an exceptionally lovely little plant!!! It’s so clearly well cared for.
it’s all about the roots! you only really need to repot when the roots take up 80% or more of the soil volume, repotting into a pot 2-3 inches larger than the mass of the root ball. as long as growth isn’t slowing or the leaves aren’t yellowing don’t worry!
