# Hii everyone, this is my Monstera named Micheal that I’ve had since…

_Posted by AsyaNichole🌸🌱 on 2025-03-15_

Hii everyone, this is my Monstera named Micheal that I’ve had since February, he finally grown some roots thanks to my pothos (this pic is a few days old, roots are a lot longer now) He’s definitely ready to be potted so what is the best way to transfer him into soil with the least amount of shock and how can i help promote leaf growth?

i usually just pot with some worm castings ir fertalizer. make sure the soil is moist but not wet. and keep in indirect light but not dark

What do you mean “thanks to the pothos”?? Does putting them together help? I have TONS of pothos and just took my first cutting of my monstera so would love any tips to help my Monty Baby grow!

Take a cutting of your pothos and put it with any propagations. Pothos help simulate root growth! When i got my monstera cutting in February it was taking forever to get any root growth but as soon as i put a cutting on my pothos to propagate with it, i started seeing root growth by the next day. Definitely try it out lol

Was that water propagation or soil??

#### AsyaNichole🌸🌱 replied on 2025-03-16

Water propagation, i wanna transfer into soils with the least amount of shock to my plant
