Don't repot them, just let them dry out a bit. Of course the need for
repotting is based on the size of the plant and the size of the pot--but a
too-large pot makes it difficult to control watering. If the roots you see
are white and firm, they are still alive. If yellow or brown and soft or
wrinkled, they're dead.
