Monsteras are easily air layered. However, my suggestion is to place the
rootball (with plant attached) in a bucket of water in the hope that the
soil will eventually fall off of the roots and repot into a larger pot with
a peat perlite based compost. Perhaps one of the commercial root
stimulating products could be used, although that probably is not
necessary.
