Monstera stems grow without making leaves

2/4/2023

 
​Question:  I’ve had a monstera for about two years and it doesn't seem to grow anymore. It has a lot of leaves, but it's the stems that continue to grow without making new leaves.

NICK: This is a classic case of a plant that is root bound. What I want you to do is to slip that plant out of the container and check those roots. Chances are they're pretty gnarly looking and wrapped around inside of that plant container and they're just bursting to get out. So what you want to do is to move this thing up into a larger container. You can prune off about one quarter to no more than one third of those roots and kind of loosen it up, use some fresh potting soil to re-pot it up in its new container. And remember, don't bury it any deeper than it came out of this existing container.
