Just got this monstera (it is my first one) and I’m very excited, I am waiting a few days for it to get settled in before I repot it, but are there any tips for what else I should do? Cut roots, cut leaves, how to shine the leaves because they seem to have a dusty powder on them although you can’t tell. I wiped the leaves with water and neem oil but it didn’t take the white off completely. Open to any suggestions!
I would first decide how many stems do you want to see in the pot. I left 2 last time and now I think maybe 1 even better. Looks tidier.

That’s a beauty! Is it a 10” pot? Mine burst thru its nursery pot last year. I didn’t take the advice above, and just repotted into 12” last summer. She’s now 5’ tall!! I am thinking next time I’ll pull her apart and create multiple plants and less “wild”. I like them both ways tho’! Super chunky soil, let dry out in between water/fertilizer, bright indirect light!
2 Me gustaI would love yo see a picture of your plant repotted. I bought my first monstera about 2 months ago. I’m in love with
0 Me gusta There she is a couple weeks ago. She’s put out 2 new leaves since then. TBH, I’m dreading the idea of repotting. Last year it was a two person job!!!
For the leaves - I mix a splash of lime/lemon juice into a bowl of water and dip a cloth into the mixture to carefully wipe the leaves from stem to edge 😊 for some reason the lime juice removes that residue!
