Does my monstera need to be repotted? It’s super rootbound but the roots aren’t growing through the drainage holes yet. It’s growing new leaves but they’re drooping and yellowing a bit. When I water it the water runs through the bottom almost immediately. Should I wait until the roots are growing out of the bottom or should I repot it now and add some stakes?
