# I got this monstera tc maybe about a month ago and since i have been…

_Publicado por Roxanne el 2024-07-17_

I got this monstera tc maybe about a month ago and since i have been BATTLING root rot every single day. I traded the soil it originally came with much more coarse and airy stuff which dod not help, made sure to keep it in small pots, have it under a grow light and in a room with higher humidity, and it still hasnt done anything except loose more roots. Theres so little root left on it my last resort has been to put it in semi hydro, but im new to this. With the research i did i was told to keep it in the water, just at root level and to put a tiny tiny bit of hydrogen peroxide in it.  
Its been 3 days and one of leaves is starting to yellow. I also cleaned the leca before hand.

If there are any general tips yall have PLEASE share them with me. This is my most expensive plant and id really hate to loose her. Also im just frustrated cause ive kept everything from super finicky alocasias and elephant ears alive and have 3 other HUGE thriving monsteras but this ONE refuses to let me help it. And again it cost 70$!

Roxanne I’m 💯 in agreement with you!  
I can’t keep a TC alive to save my life. No issues with other of my plants.

i think it was just the plant itself. It died, but i found a way cheaper one later thats thriving! Ive found its easier to manage in dirt, moisture meters SAVE LIVES!

It looks amazing! ❤️ I think that was my mistake too with all of them. I repotted right away into a chunky mix. If there’s a next time, I’ll definitely keep it in a dirt mixture vs chunky.

Yeah i believe the mix i used was 1:1:1 of dirt/perlite/orchid mix. Good luck on the next one if you decide to get another!
