# Hey y’all, my thai monstera’s been doing great but I’m wondering if I…

Hey y’all, my thai monstera’s been doing great but I’m wondering if I need to be worried about how frequently I’m watering him. Recently he’s been needing water about every 4-6 days, more on the every 4 days side now (using my finger to get 1-1.5in into the soil to check). The app’s schedule has been acting a fool lately, telling me daily or every other day which I’ve been snoozing.

He’s only been in his current 6in planter for 5months and he’s pumped out 4 leaves and several large aerial roots in that time, so he doesn’t seem to be root bound, or at least not upset about it. I haven’t checked his roots yet because I didn’t want to disturb him while he worked on his new leaf, seen in the picture. Watering every 4 days just seems like a lot…?

Depending on where you are, cold temps can also mean dry air, which will cause your plant to dry out quickly.  
I’ve got one plant that I have to water more frequently than warm weather. Which is hard for me to wrap my brain around but it is what it is 😂

That’s a good point, I hadn’t thought about that. Several of my other plants are needing water more frequently too, so that might be it.
