    If the roots are tightly packed in the container, it is time to repot the plant. This article will help:

    It is likely a fungus. There are several that can create those yellow spots. Treat the plant with a fungicide. I like neem oil myself as it treats both fungus and pests and is safe for people and pests.

    They are dormant in the winter time (even though they are kept indoors). Their growth will slow and they will need a little less water. You can repot the plant when the roots become crowded. When they are crowded, they will look like a solid mat when you take the plant out of its pot. When repotting, move up only one pot size or at least 2" larger than the current pot.
