roots are showing wtf ??

Hey guys !
So the last week I saw some roots showing from top of my pots and decided to add some more soil to them ..
And this morning I saw roots again in the top of one of them .. why is that ??

Without even looking at them I can say they are root bound! Repot as soon as you can. The root are looking for a place to go so they go up!

.. and if i dont wanna repot those .. what can happen ?

Once a plant gets totally root bound it will start to turn yellow starting at the bottom,they will take in little to no nutrients and growth will stop. A tree can only grow as big as it's root system. They do look a bit small to be root bound in those pots but that seems to be the case. You could trim the root ball down to a smaller size but this is usually only done on mothers to control growth.repotting is your best bet and make sure to loose up the root ball before you transplant so they get a wider more flattened out root base to start from.
