Repotting Question…

Repotting Question…

I am still new to Gardening so I do not know as much as I would like to.

My mom had once told me that a plant will grow roots in its pot, fill the pot then that is when the actual plant itself can grow, after the roots have filled the pot.

Is this true?
I planted a cutting of a coleus and so far I dont see any growth from it, but could the roots just be growing so far?

Also I have a Split Leaf Philodendron that has been in the same pot since I got it, and the leaves are growing wonderfully… If I wanted it to get bigger can I repot it and after the roots grown, will the plant be able to grow bigger?

Sorry if this sounds confusing Im having a hard time finding the words I want to use. lol.

Some Pictures behind the cut

Here is the cutting… cute isn’t it?

Here is the Coleus I cut it from when I got him back in September when I repotted him the first time at the end of October.
