Monstera root 🌽

So I’m wondering if I need to repot this or do monstera prefer to be root bound? There are roots like this all around the pot and then one really large root that wraps around the inside on the very bottom.
I can definitely hold off just worried about them getting chopped off if I wait too long.. thanks for any advice! #Monstera #MonsteraMob #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict

Hi @ParagonofPeony Jessica! I would just pull it up and rearrange the roots. It’s still a young plant so it’ll do this regularly. I find they do well being slightly root bound. This may not be more than a random root checking boundaries.
@AnthuriumQueen I didn’t even think to do that! Thanks!!
@AnthuriumQueen done and worker perfectly! Thanks again!
@ParagonofPeony my pleasure! You can keep doing this until the roots wrap around the bottom a couple of times then you can go up another inch or so.
@AnthuriumQueen that’s a really good idea. I’ll definitely keep doing that
@ParagonofPeony @AnthuriumQueen Caroline has given you great advice
@TwistedThreads Thanks so much! 😁
