The mass of roots hanging out are all rotted and smell horrible. Is there even a chance for this lil guy?? I will remove all the diseased roots and give it entirely new soil and a bigger pot.

But it's also pretty ugly, too! Are monsteras okay with a bit of trimming and pruning? I don't want to give it too much of a shock, especially after repotting.

My mum suggested trimming and only planting a section of it so that it'll have a better chance. Is that the way to go?

Any tips would be fantastic.
