Any recommendations for the best soil to use and pot size for indoor plants? Specifically for monstera plants and philodendron pink princess!

A chunky, well draining soil mix would work great! I currently use equal parts Fox Farms soil, coarse perlite, orchid bark, coco husk fiber, and charcoal for my mix (v extra lol), but any potting soil amended with perlite/orchid bark should do the trick.

Regarding pot size, I would go by the size of your plant’s roots. Just make sure they fit comfortably and that there’s not too much extra space around them in the pot, otherwise you risk keeping the roots wet for too long when you water.
