I need the best Monstera soil mix either you prep it or buy it. Mine needs to be repot like now. I normally in the past used Mollys but I cannot find it anywhere. ??????

This plant was bought at a Local Target and that’s the soil she came in so never has been repotted. So I want to make sure I keep her safe

If you are asking which pot to use, definitely the second. It’s pretty root bound and gently breaking the root ball up a bit will allow it to spread out. The pot is not so large as to be too big but large enough to support the height of that beauty!
