# Hi, all! Need some opinions, just recently repotted my Monstera Thai…

_Posted by mariamakiling on 2026-03-21_

Hi, all! Need some opinions, just recently repotted my Monstera Thai yesterday. I was wondering if it’s okay for her back bone to be elevated from the soil as photo, as I can’t bring her down more cause most of her roots are in the front, and I spread them on the pot, hence why she’s like this. (Also gave her a better support.) 😅 Thank you!

Mine ended up naturally growing up like that, I’d say it should be fine as it will start sending aerial roots down to the soil to help stabilise itself

They don’t mind having roots in air, they’ll just absorb humidity from the air/soil \& it will thrive!😊

I find that having them slightly elevated like that seems to help prevent root rot!
