I did a scary thing today, I repotted Gloria aka my glorious monstera. I looked up a couple of Sheffield Made Plants video and took a deep breath, the result is promising I hope she recovers from the roots cut...

The 'moss' pole was just some coconut coir wrapped around a plastic tube so I got that out and made a frame with some metal bean climbing poles that I drilled and glued together. I zipped tied the stalks to the frame.

It looks gorgeous and healthy! Recently, I've been cutting/trimming roots as I repot and haven't had any issues. It's scary, but it does seem to help.

When I grow up i want to be brave just like you 🤭

I am terrified to trim roots. I feel like I’m cutting vital organs
