Is it time to repot my monstera? The root is coming out of the bottom.

Absolutely!!! I would suggest going up 1 to 2 inch pot 🫶🏼

### Yolanda commented on 2025-04-12

Yes repot

Repot to something slightly bigger and maybe a little more water

It’s probably just a rogue root. I would pull the plant out of the pot and check the rest of the root ball. If the roots look like a cup of noodles, then it’s time for a repot. If there’s still room in the soil for the roots to grow I would place it back in the pot and simply coil the long root around in the bottom and keep the same pot as is.

When the roots start looking like this, then it’s time for a repot.
