It’s gorgeous! Have you ever repotted your monstera? If so, what type of soil did you use?

#### Payton 🌱 replied on 2026-02-03

I repotted it probably three months ago so. I had it in way too big of a pot and it’s so much happier now. I used a moisture control tropical mix. i think from miracle grow

That’s why you can see some of those smaller leaves at the bottom. They grew in while it was in the larger pot. Now that it’s root bound, the leaves are huge

Looks so much happier!!

can you give me tips on exactly how you did this/what to do for my own monstera? she’s in a gigantic pot and I can’t find a proper way to keep her stems supported. she’s my oldest plant and she’s thriving, but i know I can do better for her!! (she gets plenty of light from the window and also has a grow light on at night, the blinds were just closed in this pic)
