String of Pearls miracle

So I purchased a live string of pearls plant from Temu. I did not expect it to arrive alive after spending 3 weeks traveling from overseas. However, it did, and it looked worse for wear. I really thought I was going to lose it. I watched a video on proper soil, watering, and sunlight and this is her several months down the line! She is healthy and growing new strings finally! I am unsure when to consider repotting though so hoping the community can help me figure out when would be a good time to repot.

I’m hopeless. I put this plant outside because it’s really hot here. Now it looks like this. What to do? Repot? Buy a new one? Bring it in?

To add context, I bought this guy after I went to my hairdresser. Hers is huge. It’s on the front desk, no natural light and a chemical smell in the salon. How hard could this be I thought. Ha! Honestly no clue

Is this okay?

I've had this string of pearls since 2023, started out in a small 2inch nursery pot and eventually it ended up in this glass container with no drainage but the thought of reporting it is too daunting. I'm sure I water it too much, there's no drainage holes and you can see green moss/algae, it seems root bound. Should I repot it? It seems happy enough?
