Variegated monstera experts! Help a girl out!! My newly adopted aurea has 4 gorgeous, fenestrated leaves, and was decently rooted when I got her. She arrived in damp sphagnum and I left her as-is for 2 weeks before I moved her to a chunky aroid mix w/ Bonide systemic granules mixed in for pest prevention. She was extra droopy, so I checked out the roots and most had rotted!! I don’t think that was the case when she came. I chopped everything off the aerial roots, did a diluted hydrogen peroxide rinse, & put the aerial roots in a mixture of fluval stratum and pumice because I have CONSTANT issues with monstera stems/nodes rotting in any kind of soil-like substrate. I also have her sideways, roots down to minimize contact with the stem. QUESTIONS - did I add too much systemic.. maybe that destroyed the roots? Would you do or position anything differently? And are the aerial roots deep enough in this position/how often would you water? Thanks in advance 🥲
