I’ve had this monstera for a bit now. Do you think it needs a wider pot with more soil? The inner pot width is ~10inchs.

    I wouldn’t upsize unless the roots are coming out of the pot personally. It looks leggy though, is it getting enough light?

      About two weeks ago the plant used to be sitting near a south facing window, getting really bright and indirect light but since then I’ve moved to the basement suite and I’ve noticed it’s slowed down on growth. :(

      A south facing window isn’t exactly bright enough for a monstera like that either though. It needs a north or east facing window for it to get the light it needs

    The pot size looks fine, I’ve seen massive monsteras in the same size pot, as long as it can establish aerial roots on a support the pot doesn’t really need upsized more than once every couple years
