# Hello friends! Looking for advice on my first ever monstera. I…

Hello friends!  
Looking for advice on my first ever monstera. I purchased this today at my local nursery. Got her home and noticed all these roots tangled up in the bottom of the pot as I was getting ready to repot. I did some untangling and was just curious on what I should do next. This plant has been on my wishlist for as long as I can remember, any advice to help her thrive would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

I have the exact one! She loves lots of drainage. If it’s in direct sun water more often than planta advises. They like to keep the soil moist, not wet, definitely not dry. And she loves the humidifier!!! Also, definitely get some support stakes as the monstera is a climber

Thank you so so much! I just ordered some poles for her that will be her Monday!

You can cut those longer roots and only upsize the pot by a little. Jumping to a super larger pot won’t make your plant happy. Water every 10 days and let the water run out the bottom. They don’t like sitting in excess water.
