Plants need less watering in winter especially if they are in a cool room. To curb excessive growth avoid re-potting too often and prune regularly by pinching off new growth. I find that it is better to let the soil dry in between waterings so we prevent over watering our plant.

The water should be changed often when growing monstera.

You need more than just water though. Follow your usual watering routine during these cold months but pay more attention to the drainage. Rather than water to a timetable water whenever the top inch or two of compost is dry stick a finger into the soil to see. The slits and holes in Monstera leaves are called fenestrations.
