# Hi everyone!🌱🌿 This is my new Thai monstera, I’m in love with her…

Hi everyone!🌱🌿  
This is my new Thai monstera, I’m in love with her \<3  
Some info on her - I got her from one of my local plant nurseries and I currently have her in the plastic pot she came in as I didn’t want to repot her so quickly and stress her out too much. The soil (seems) like it’s a chunky mix so I think she will be okay in there for the time being. I think once I eventually do a repot though, I will definitely add a lot more orchid bark as I’ve heard Thai’s are more prone to root rot and I want to prevent that! I haven’t watered her yet as the top of the soil still seems damp but i will reassess frequently and water once the soil dries out quite a bit more.  
I currently have a coco stake in there to support her back and I have a little humidifier nearby to keep her humid and have been monitoring for pests and using a pest prevention spray as a precaution. Will also occasionally mist her starting in a few days.  
I had one monstera prior to this one that unfortunately perished, I think due to repotting it too soon and stressing it out and possibly overwatering. I really want to make sure this one thrives, so any advice on keeping her happy would be very welcome 💚

It looks very happy now, no need to repot at all until you see roots grow out of the bottom of the pot. I also never mist my as people say it can cause sunburn on the leaves and increase the chance of mold infection. I usually put my aroids in bathroom when I’m showing and leave them with door closed for several hours at night. It needs lots of light, put it next to a south window or add a plant light. Good luck!

I live in a very dry climate and I found humidifier is not helpful to increase the regional humidity if your plant is in an open room, so I just never bother.
