# I’ve had to repot twice now (since March) as her roots keep…

_Posted by Brennah on 2025-05-31_

I’ve had to repot twice now (since March) as her roots keep outgrowing the pots. As in literally growing out of the bottoms of them. She’s currently in an 8 inch pot. Should she be in something bigger though to keep up with the root growth?

Thanks in advance 🫶🏼

First of all it’s Gorgeous!!!In my opinion you may just need to keep repotting as it grows only 2 to 3 inches in diameter extra of the root ball. If you go extremely large then you risk a longer time for your roots to sit in wet soil. Keep doing what you’re doing!!! It’s so pretty

if you’re bottom watering her then the roots are more likely to come out of the bottom rather than taking up the whole pot, i would just wait at least a year between repotting cause monsteras are pretty tolerant of being root bound but they get stressed out if you repot too often! good luck! :)
