# Hi everyone!! Before I decide to water my monsteras, I need to know…

_Posted by Ronnie on 2025-04-09_

Hi everyone!!

Before I decide to water my monsteras, I need to know if they’re in too big of pots. I recently repotted her and she was very droopy, so I separated some of the plants and repotted them into different pots, but am worried they won’t grow or face root rot since the pots are too big. Could anyone let me know so I can repot her and give her the ability to grow?

Yes pot way too big you only pot up 2 sizes of root ball

I like the pots! But I agree they look too big for the plants right now. Get some smaller, plastic nursery type planters (1-2 inches bigger than the root ball) with good drainage. That’ll make them easier to water, reduce risk of root rot, and you can still use the bigger white and pink pots as decoration.

Monstera prefer to be a little root bound, I’d size down the pots 😊

I heard that separating the plant isn’t good
