Mojito just joined the family on Thursday! I have a Terracotta 6” pot I think she’ll like. Should I give her a week or so to settle in? Or is that root screaming for deeper soil!?

Unless it is entirely a solid root mass, 6" might actually be too big if you tend to over water. The root coming out of the bottom just means it found a drainagr hole and followed moisture, it does not mean it needs a report or a deeper pot. Varigated monstera are prone to root rot, so it is good to be mindful of the upsizing. 😊
