Yes, repotting an African violet from a 4-inch pot is advisable if the plant has outgrown its container or if the soil has degraded. Signs that it needs repotting include roots growing out of the drainage holes or if the plant appears top-heavy. Use a pot that is only slightly larger, around 5-6 inches, and ensure you use a well-draining potting mix specifically formulated for African violets. Repotting can help promote healthier growth and flowering.
