I have a monstera which has been dying ever since i bought it. It also seems to get very dry very quickly.  
I would love to hear any suggestions how i can make it better?

Also we have roots/ nodule coming out of the draining pot. Should i repot this?

roots out the bottom doesn't necessarily mean it's time to repot, especially if you bottom water. getting dry very quickly IS a sign to repot. pull it out of the pot and look at the roots. if there's more root than soil, which there probably will be, it's time to repot. i can't tell you what else might be wrong without seeing the plant though

We keep our indoor monsteras in a climate controlled room with 24/7 humidifiers running and outdoors they are out of direct sun on a covered patio. The frequency of watering depends on location and need.

Thank you, thats helpful. I am very new to plants. I never would have guessed humidifiers would be good for monsteras. I will give a try

I would repot in a size larger, just my opinion
