Just got this monstera (it is my first one) and Iām 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 canāt tell. I wiped the leaves with water and neem oil but it didnāt 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.

Thatās a beauty! Is it a 10ā pot? Mine burst thru its nursery pot last year. I didnāt take the advice above, and just repotted into 12ā last summer. Sheās now 5ā tall!! I am thinking next time Iāll pull her apart and create multiple plants and less āwildā. I like them both ways thoā! Super chunky soil, let dry out in between water/fertilizer, bright indirect light!

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 š for some reason the lime juice removes that residue!
