hi guys!! i recently got a 12” monstera.. and she is beautiful. i have been bottom watering her when 2-3 inches of the top soil is dry, but for some reason i feel like i’m underwatering… where some of the stems come out of the soil there’s a few that are browning as if they’re dry. she gets dry about 2-5 days after i water. do i need to water more? am i over watering?
The plant may be root-bound, so it can’t retain enough water. Have you checked the soil? Also when you water the plant are you really soaking that bb? I am a chronic underwaterer bc im so scared of root rot. But I drown that bb when it’s time
