Spring, summer, and into the early fall are good times for repotting a Rhaphidophora. If you live in a climate where winter comes early, then spring and summer will be best.

Mini Monsteras like a mix rich in peat moss that is well drained. I prefer to use coco fiber which has similar properties but is a more sustainable alternative to peat.  The compost provides extra richness.

The pot I used had more than one drainage hole. I cut out a round of newspaper to cover the holes so any mix wouldn’t flow out in the 1st few waterings.

Rhaphidophora tetraspermas grow very fast when the conditions are to their liking. If the plant and the new pot are in scale, then going from a 6? grow pot to a 10? would be fine.

I watered mine a couple of days before I did the repotting. A dry plant is stressed so I make sure my indoor plants are watered 2- 4 days in advance.

Give your Rhaphidophora a good watering after you do the repotting. I then put mine back in its bright spot in the kitchen where it had been growing about 8? away from a south facing window.
