I repotted my monstera in June and she is already root bound in her pot. Is it too soon to repot her? I want her to grow more but I also don’t want to kill her

    She also leans pretty bad. But her roots are healthy and the stems are thick and sturdy

    Hmmm I would check the roots first! But think probably an upsize (2 inches more than before, in H and W) When you pot it, fill up a couple inches with soil and then put the root ball against the side of the pot (the place where the newest leaf will come from needs room , so put the opposing side of the plants roots against the wall of the pot so it can grow across the surface without bumping into anything or crawling out , haha . ) Also you can always rotate your plant to fix the leaning , because it’s most likely leaning toward the light . Turn it so the leaves are facing the wall, not the light . It will make them turn to face the light over time and correct the lean ) I added a dry moss pole to my pot for a bit to help it grow more vertically and then removed it when it looked decent . You could use a stick or stake as well . You could also get a moss pole you can consistently water tho! As long as it’s moist, the plant will root into it. Or you could make one yourself , and direct the plant to climb up it . But they are crawlers naturally , so just a wide but deep enough pot for the roots and stem in the surface to climb over and around . Hope this makes any sense LOL, lmk if you have any questions! I just posted some random thai con care tips if it helps . Btw beautiful plant!
