To pot or not to pot. (I mean re pot. But there you go)
I have 2 mother inlaw plants that are over 25 yrs old. They were in one pot once but split. Currently they are in 14 cm pots & are 0ver 1ft high & healthy enough. However I met someone that gave my daughter a huge one saying "I frequently re pot mine & they are a lot bigger than yours so re pot them" I was not using deliberate neglect as a growing technique......Oddly enough the 2 I have are different...One with yellow outer stripe (the parent)& 1 without. One parent leaf is damaged but I have left it there. Any yay or nay?

The idea of a bonsai Mother in Law might appeal to some people.

bonsai Mother in Law....hmm......she is frail & small.....where was I? Mind boggles. The plants are growing. One leans against the wall so if it is falling iver it needs more security I guess

They like to be crowded--unlike most mother in laws--but the taller varieties like to be crowded in a 30 cm pot, rather than in a 15 cm pot. When repotting, don't go up in size too much at a time: 5 cm at a time is good. A crunchy, fast draining compost works best, and don't plant them any deeper than in the original pot.

Do you want them to get bigger or would you prefer to contain their size? If the latter & they are OK in the present pots you could leave them there, or pot on if you want bigger plants.
