What’s above the surface doesn’t always represent what’s below. Wait a day or two after watering, then gently lift the whole dirt/rootball out of the pot. 50% or more roots to soil = time to upsize. Monstera’s like to be snug though, so you can push that ratio with these plants.

Other signs to look for, new growth is smaller or less frequent. Having to water more often.

If you do decide to upsize, only go 1-2” larger than the root ball.
