Repotting Rootbound Swiss Cheese Vine
This is little cheese, my latest monstera addition… It's been about 3 to 4 weeks since I brought him home and decided to take a look at his roots, oh mannnn, am I going to be here untangling for a while. Given the size of his roots in the 6 inch nursery pot, should I move to a similar 8 inch plastic nursery pot or a 10** inch terracotta that has a little more depth?

@kscape thanks!!! Can you tell I haven't had enough coffee today?! 🙃🫠
@poisonivy213 You and me both 💀💀
@poisonivy213 Based off the picture, I’d say 10” terracotta! Best for air circulation, drainage, moisture control (with potting mix, bark and perlite) and overall just great to use porous pots 🪴✨

@kscape it's actually a 10" (I edited to add another picture!)
@poisonivy213 i go with the 3rd pot! 🪴😊
@kscape thanks so much!! He's doing so well, I was second guessing myself since my first Swiss cheese isn't doing so hot! 😕
@poisonivy213 well lucky you, with this one I can tell you’ve been doing an amazing job! Those roots are so nice and clean! 😍🤍
@WellmadeCarrot wow, beautiful!! I'm just starting to, definitely adding that one to my #wishlistplant
