Hey friends, I have a very large monstera that I neglected to repot over the summer because of its size, Iāll need someone to help. My question is, is it too late to repot now that itās fall approaching winter? Should I trim it? This is the largest plant Iāve grown from its mother but Iām getting overwhelmed!
I feel itās never too late to repot. Thatās just my opinion. My Monty got so big he got put outside. I also live in California. If you want to trim it to make it smaller you can. Especially if it makes it more manageable for you.. Really leaves only get bigger from here.
Will a monstera thrive outside in California. Iāve been nervous to put mine outside. I live in Long Beach.
2 gillningar I live in Bay Area. Monty gets Morning sun only. From like 7am to 10am when the sun starts to turn. Frost Advisory Nights I cover all my plants outside. They do fine. Heās been outside almost a year.

Depends on where you live and if youāre using a grow light or not. Iām in the PNW and my plants all live under grow lights - so I repot whenever they need it.

1 gillaNever too late to repot! Repot, let the plant adjust over winter, and when itās back to growing season the monstera will be fully adjusted and will be back growing in no time. Hope this helps :)
