# New Monstera mom here. I’ve had her for about a month from a previous…

_Publié par SummerRain le 2023-07-14_

New Monstera mom here. I’ve had her for about a month from a previous owner. I’ve lost a few leaves as they have yellowed and browned out. Another in the back is showing the same issue. I am using Leca as my potting medium and have supplemented plant food in watering about a month ago. How frequently should I be doing this? New leaves are still appearing. Perhaps it’s time to add a moss pole for growing up as well?  
For watering, I’ve poured water slowly over all of the Leca which is then drained off in the pot below. There are roots poking out the bottom which were touching the drainoff. I’ve since dumped the drainoff and will continue to do so. Is it time to repot due to roots coming out the bottom? I also supplement 3 hours of low-med light a day due to placement and lack of sun. Any advice would be very much appreciated!

She would probably appreciate more light, they love lots of indirect light and is one of the conditions that leads to the spirit after leaf fenestrations. She would also definitely benefit for a pole to climb! Was it in soil previously? If so, I would imagine there would be a bit of a transition time?

Thank you. She was in Leca before I got her. I’ll make small adjustments and give them time to take. May just take a wee bir of troubleshooting.

Check soil mine had bugs but redid all mines dirt and water every 9 days and lots of indirect light always. Get water monitor
