She does indeed shes about a foot and a half tall in a 4 inch nursery pot 😭 just new to monstera and it’s daunting lol

#### Roachy Laa replied on 2026-10-23

It’s been done she’s in a new home and even managed to get a offspring from her she’s got a daughter now lol

i just repotted my monstera from it’s nursery pot and it’s thriving! definitely say repot her now, she might take a few days to adjust and act angry but it’ll be so much happier having more room for her roots!

Also when you say act angry anything in specific?

#### Sheena replied on 2026-10-23

they might droop a little bit and act like they need a crazy amount of water but they’ll perk back up once they’re happy in their new home!

I might be wrong but I always repot my new plants because I like a clear pot and I want to see the roots lol. Go for it!
