Learning how to repot a Monstera can be an absolute game-changer for your plant’s health – and it brought my plant back to life.

The best time to repot a Monstera is generally said to be spring, but that doesn’t mean you can’t rehome your plant in summer. I repotted my Monstera a couple of months ago, and it’s already producing new leaves. Of course, it isn’t a magic fix for every Monstera – sometimes, other plant problems will need to be addressed, too – but if your Monstera is rootbound, or sitting in old, nutrient-deficient soil, there’s a good chance it’s in need of a new home.
