This young Monstera has been looking to climb since it’s repotting about a year ago now. Thoughts on repotting again? What can I do with its awkwardly long aerial root?

How do the roots in the soil look? I wouldn’t rush to repot— Monsteras like to be root bound. I wouldn’t repot unless 1) you have pests/doubt the soil quality (they want chunky) or 2) you’re needing to water it too often. I don’t recommend a moss pole. I suggest you either cut the aerial root or poke it into the soil. Finally, give it a pole to climb! Good luck!!
いいね 1件moss poles or coco coir poles are high maintenance. coco coir also has a habit of rotting if it touches the soil 🤢. just use a wooden 2x4. cheap and easy. for that ariel root, you can just chop it. it's not gonna hurt your plant.

I agree that I wouldn’t necessarily repot it yet unless it’s super root bound. That being said, I’ve been known to repot things earlier than recommended simply because I wanted to get it on a moss pole, but I wouldn’t increase the size of the pot at all just yet unless it’s super root bound. I personally love moss poles, but I do agree that they’re more work and monsteras can mature just fine on another type of support, so if not a moss pole I’d also recommend a wooden plank or a metal trellis when you do eventually add some support.
