Help please!!! I just rescued this Monstera Deliciosa from my local Lowe’s in the clearance section. I thought it was in really good shape considering most plants are nearly dead. Several leaves are torn or torn off and there are some dry spots on others including the brand new one unraveling. I did my best to cut all the dead stuff off but if a stalk doesn’t have a leaf should I leave it or get rid of it? Then the 6-8 plants are all facing different directions. Should I take the plants out and replant them so they are all facing the same way so I can stake them to catch the sun better?

    Cut the petioles off that don't have leaves where they meet the stem. Don't worry about them facing every which way. It's just from being at the garden center. In a few weeks the leaves will all turn to face their new light source. Maybe check if it's rootbound though. That would be cause for a repot. But if you repot, only go up 2 inches max in pot size so you don't get root rot.

      Thank you so much. I hate to have to pull it out of the pot just to check its roots. But I noticed there was a big space with no soil at the bottom of the pot as well.

      You can look through the drainage hole first to see if roots are coming out

    Check for pest,root rot,if there’s no root rot I’d recommend to give it water when the soil’s dry and light and time to adjust to your house and the leaves in bad health if it’s not all of them I would cut them off

    Does the monstera plant like to be root bound?
