# HELP! I repotted my monstera a little over 2 weeks ago and didn’t…

_Gepostet von Brooke am 2023-11-04_

HELP! I repotted my monstera a little over 2 weeks ago and didn’t realize I should have put a stem/root deeper into the soil. This is one of the heavier stems of the plant and is now leaning across the other stems. Is it safe to dig up some soil, place it deeper in the pot, and add additional soil on top? I don’t want to send the plant into shock by disturbing the roots anymore. Any advice?

You need support for it. Like a pole or something like that.  
It’s growing aerial roots from what it looks like.  
Yes it’s safe to do what you need to do. Monstera plants are very resilient.

Yes you can and more soil or pin it down. Whatever you want. It’s going to take a lot mor then that to take her out. Lol But that yellow leaf should be cut.

I just watch a video yesterday saying the the reason plant traps are yellow is to mimic the yellow leaves on the plants which is a sign they are unhealthy and will attract insects. I thought that was interesting.
