I can’t believe my big mamma has such a small root ball

This is my 5 year old raindrop Pilea with no name which I adopted at 16. Its first four years were spent in a pretty dark teenage room and there for it makes HUGE leaves.
Anyways now I’ve got it in a nice sunny window and shes growing like never before!! Today I went to repot and I am just amazed at how tiny the roots are (banana for scale) they took up 20% of the original pot. The soil had never been changed as well so I was genuinely expecting it to be root bound.XD
She’s in a smaller pot with all fresh soil and Leca pearls. Looking forward to see her settle in to a fresh pot half the size.
