My monstera leaf was twisted and I wondered what was going on. Then I realised a new leaf was growing so it’s probably searching for the light.

Should I repot? Or wait for the leaf to grow? All my leaves are growing in different directions.

Is that leaf hardened yet? I wouldn't repot since it seems happy and throwing you new leaves. Might just need some time to settle on in. What is the lighting situation like?

Thank you.  
It’s kinda hard - a bit in-between.  
It’s right in front of my window but as it’s searching for more light I’ve added a grow light 💡

They act funky when they are still hardening. Or maybe it's just a weird leaf doing her own thing. I think it's just fine.

That’s just what they do. I wouldn’t repot either
