What kind of soil do you recommend for planting my monsters cuttings? The roots are really long and I need to get them in soil !

I recommend a mixture of orchid bark, pumice, Coco coir chips, a portion of pithe or sphagnum, and worm castings. An additional portion of all purpose perhaps.

Aghhh anything I can buy already mixed 😂 I go back to teaching in two days !

A bag of orchid bark a bag of perlite and a bag of all purpose 💜 1:1:1 should be fine

I use Miracle Grow Cactus, Citrus, Palm mixture for all my plants.

Including monstera ?

I’ve also used the tropical plants mix too and have had good luck with it for all of my plants😊

Yes. Every living thing I gave us in that soil. It’s by Miracle Grow. I ever worry about root rot. I use coffee stirrer stick to test for moisture. Works great!

Ok just got the tropical miracle grow bags. It has a monstera on the package 😂 so it should be good. I’m going to plant them tomorrow morning. 🤞
