I do not have a green thumb, so I would like some opinions on if my snake plant is ready to be repotted yet. I've had a few people say it's ready, and a few say it's not.
I took in this plant nearly a year ago when my grandma passed away. This plant and I have had some downs as I had no clue how to care for it. I'll add some pictures of when I first got it up until now.
A little on the pic collage photo. The far left is when I first got it. The middle was about 6-8 months in of having it, I wasn't sure it would come back. The right was about 2 months later of just giving it water once and leaving it in a darker room.
The last 2 photos are current. The white pot is what I was thinking of transferring into.
I'll take any and all advice, Please!

Just looking at the foliage, it seems not quite big enough to warrant a bigger pot. If you pull it out of the blue pot and it’s a solid mass of roots, just trim down the root ball to 1/3 the size of the blue pot, fill it with fresh soil, and put your buddy back into it. It’ll need daily watering for 2 weeks until its feet don’t hurt anymore. I’d wait until the leaves are twice as massive in both number and size before moving it up a pot size.
I read recently that a snake plant enjoys a smaller pot. I would say there’s still room to grow in that one.
