Just repotted my year old monstera for the first time. It had really overgrown the previous pot, I had a ton of roots out the bottom. Really excited to see how she does with more room and better support.

Holy Moses - that is a very happy monstera!!! Mine is about the same age and he was very happy at first, but Ive had to cut some yellowing baby leaves off in the past couple of weeks. I think they like being a little root bound, so don’t go TOO big. Pretty sure that’s my problem. Then again, I’m no expert… just what I’ve seen online.

You’re right! Monsteras like to be snug in their pots so don’t go too big when repotting them.

WOW look at all those roots!! Good that you repotted her. She looks so gorgeous and so green and full. Love her!!
