# Hey guys! I repotted my monstera today and she is pretty root bound!…

_Posted by Kayde on 2024-06-01_

Hey guys! I repotted my monstera today and she is pretty root bound! But whilst repotting I noticed that a couple of root ends are bright yellow? The rest are mostly white but should I be concerned?  
I went ahead and repotted her in the meantime:)

basically means that repotting was a good choice! the roots need room to move \& grow out. also make sure the pot has a drainage hole as sitting water will rot your roots

Yeah the pot she came in was way too small, the roots were peeping through the holes🫣

i’d triple the pot size from that one \& i guarantee you she will thrive 😚

#### Kayde replied on 2024-06-01

I only doubled in size, hopefully that will be okay for now until I find a pretty and bigger pot for her🥺

### Kayde commented on 2024-06-01

She’s now happily sat in a new pot I think 2” bigger than the last one so she has plenty of room and a lot of drainage🌱

perfect 😍

I doubt she’ll last very long before growing out of this one too😂
