Right were do I begin...i this is my first plant and i think theres a lot wrong with it. Its about 1 year old and i think used to be underwatered for quite a while.

Ive posted a few pics so you can see the problems: http://www.sassyhorse.co.uk/ubiquio_files/plants.html

1)The first lot of new leaves that unfurled have always been very floppy and pale..a few newer ones have opened and seem sturdier but still small. The older leaves havent grown at all.

2)some newer leaves developing have some cuts in them that have gone brown

3)My friend who was upset by the sorry state of it looked underneath and there were a few of very fine roots popping out and sez it needs repotting.

hopefully you can see what i mean by these photos and any advice would be great...if you feel it may need a repot, then is a pot about 1-1 1/2 inches bigger in diameter what is required or can i get a much bigger pot to last it..im not concerned about a larger pot halting its growth for a bit but if there are more detremental effects of repotting into a too large pot then i wont do it.
