| Do monsteras like to be root-bound? What happens if they are root-bound? Monsteras are really easy, good houseplants. Monsteras thrive for years in the same container, providing they have adequate water and nutrition. Nothing much happens when Monsteras become root bound, at best, you’ll slow their growth a little. |
| How large should a monstera pot be? What is the risk of using a pot too large for the plant? A standard rule can be applied here. When potting up a houseplant, go no more than 2″ larger in diameter for the pot. If one uses too large of a pot, the danger becomes from soil going into an anerobic state and harboring pathogens that can attack the plant. Anerobic soil smells bad and attracts fungus gnats. |
| How do you know it’s time to repot your monstera? If water becomes an issue of frequency, then it might be time to give it a little more room. In addition, if new growth comes to a halt after several months, and you want the plant to get larger, a new, larger pot is in order. |
| What should you do if it has become root-bound? How do you remove it? If the plant has become rootbound and becomes troublesome for water needs or other stresses, repotting is a good remedy. Removing a Monstera plant out of a pot can be tricky. Sometimes a table knife becomes your friend in transplanting, by slipping the knife between the roots and the side of the container, they usually come free easily without damaging the plant. Remember that the top of the pot must be the widest point of the container. |
| Do you have any other tips? If monsteras are in front of a glass window, try not to put them in south or west facing windows. Leaf scorch shows up quickly and never repairs itself. Monsteras are still high value, coveted plants. Treat them well and they’ll outlive you. |
