My monstera Peru has been exactly the same size for 2 months. I repotted her into a bigger pot with a soil made from a mix of potting soil, cocoa coir, worm castings, coconut husk chips, orchid bark, and perlite. I feel like I’m babying this plant but nothing is happening. What can I do to get her growing?

It might be doing all the growing underneath the soil. Let it fill the pot with new roots and then it will start putting out new leaves.

Totally agree. Monsteras are infamous for putting all their energy towards roots and not leaves. Many keep monsteras in small pots just so they stop doing this

My monstera deliciosa was doing that so it makes sense this one is doing it too. Thank you!

Put her on a moss pole shes a vining plant and loves to climb. Also they love bright indirect light but don’t keep too close to the window. I keep mine a few feet away. I also let mine dry out and drought a bit before I deeply water her by bottom watering. Hope this helps ☺️
