# Hi Monstera Maniacs! Just wanted to post about the importance of…

Hi Monstera Maniacs!  
Just wanted to post about the importance of selecting the proper pot for your plant!

I used to have my monstera standleyana in a clay pot that made it dry out too quickly \& I could never keep up with watering! The plant would always droop and sometimes drop a leaf.

Now, I have it in a plastic pot with drainage holes \& just look at the progress from May 21st to July 1st!

If a plant isn’t loving life in its pot, consider making a switch \& you might see major improvements!

Such a good point! I think mine needs a new pot now.
