Thank you all for helping me on my last post! This gal is my first Monstera and it’s doing well!

I wanted to grow my monstera in LECA, so as soon as I got it I cleaned the roots and put it into water. I will leave it there until it has enough water roots before properly repotting with LECA. Maybe it will take a couple months in water from what I’ve read.

I have been changing the water regularly to get rid of the soil roots that are falling out, and I don’t see any water roots just yet, but I doo see signs that the plant is happy, the one leaf that was kind of unfurling has almost fully opened and it’s looking great, and the other one that was just coming out looks like it’s starting to open.  
The one thing that worries me is the two brow spots in that new leaf but it was already there and it doesn’t look like it’s getting worse so not sure what to do about it…  
Anyway. Thanks for the tips and I can’t wait to repot this baby monster 🩷🩷🩷

PS: The LECA in the pics is not doing anything other than propping the plant up as this vase is too tall :)

nice! what are some advantages that made you want to grow it in leca?

no fungus gnats, less chances of me overwatering and rotting the roots, also the orchid bark and good drainage mixes are so expensive where I live and I had a huge bag of LECA at home already :)
