Do monsteras like being root-bound? Expert advice on keeping this statement houseplant happy

My Monstera deliciosa still remains one of my favorite houseplants in my collection. When I first bought it a couple of years ago, it was just two feet tall and has now doubled in size. I made the mistake of not repotting my monstera until earlier this year and found that it had become slightly root-bound and stuck in its pot.

While its a usually an indoor plant mistake to let your houseplants become root-bound, I noticed that my monstera wasn't necessarily suffering from living in the tight quarters of a small pot. Although, some monstera leaves were starting to turn yellow, indicating that it wasn't going to cope with a lack of growing room for much longer.
