Place the plant back in its old spot and don't water it again until the top layer of soil is dry. You should notice new growth in 4-6 weeks. If transplanting a lacy tree philodendron is simply impossible because it's too big, remove the top 2-3 inches of soil and replace it with fresh potting soil every two years.

When should you repot a philodendron?
When the roots start poking up from the soil and out of the drainage holes of the pot, it's time to repot the philodendron. The ideal time to do this is in the late spring or early summer. Select one pot size up, gently remove your plant from its old pot, and place it in the new one with fresh soil.
Do Philodendrons like small pots?
Potted philodendrons should be planted in well-aerated soil for easy drainage. They should be re-potted only when they become root bound, about every two to three years; smaller pots help prevent over-watering. Pots should be porous and contain a drainage hole.
Can a philodendron be divided?
Choose when to split your plant. The best time to divide a split-leaf philodendron, or any kind of monstera plant, is late winter or early spring, so the roots are given the best chance to recover from the stress.
