The monstera is in desperate need of a repot, but I’m not sure how long I should wait while it’s acclimating. What do you think?

Beautiful!! I always repot immediately so I can inspect root health and for pests. It’s also good to see what potting mix it’s in and if it’s a good type for the plant or not. But some people prefer to let the plant acclimate first so it’s just a matter of preference.

I’ve never had an aglaonema, but for the monstera, you can water thoroughly until the water drains out the holes in the pot, then let it just barely dry out. Don’t let it sit dry too long like I did 😅
