Hey Everyone 👋 , hope everyone is doing good 😊 .... I have a question \& maybe some advice .... I got these 2 Monsteras from my cousin ... She had them for about 10-15 yrs .... The roots were so rootbound I could not believe it ... The big one was still in its original pot .... I cut them down so I would just start over \& root them .... Well now the rest of the pot I left outside on my deck ... Now I noticed they are growing also ... I took the biggest one out ,so I rinsed it ... I will post pictures of it all .... Should I trim down the roots \& repot ?

What should I do ?

#### Nikiller replied on 2026-07-11

Why not do a chop n prop

### plantgeek commented on 2026-07-11

chop all the way down!!!!! monsteras are really hard to kill. if the root system is good it will always grow back.

#### Lisa replied on 2026-07-11

Are you talking about the big one ?

#### plantgeek replied on 2026-07-11

all of them can be chopped into more pieces

### Lisa commented on 2026-07-11

Also can I put them back in soil or in water ?

#### plantgeek replied on 2026-07-11

the ones with roots can go back in soil, stem cuttings should sit in water to grow roots before going in soil

### Lisa commented on 2026-07-11

Ok Thank you 😊
