# Inherited Two from a friend…help me rehab! I’ve inherited two…

Inherited Two from a friend…help me rehab!

I’ve inherited two monsteras (in these planters, with unknown soil-likely general potting mix) and they seem a little underwhelmed. I’m in NE Ohio so it’s winter, these are in my 65F office on the other side of the room from a window. Water them once about every 10 days.

I receive a grow/humidity indoor greenhouse tomorrow, I expect they’ll improve a bit with some lights and some humidity.

But for now any aspects that you’d advise by looking at the pictures? Should I repot both in the larger black planter shown here?

My plan for today is to setup my indoor greenhouse once here, repot with more aerated mix, and rinse/trim the roots once I see them as needed. Any other suggestions?

I would also give the monsteras a stake of some kind to support them since they’re climbing plants! My plants seem to really love the extra support especially if they’re in any kind of “rehab” with me.
