Hey guys. I’ve had this monstera for about 2 months now. This is my first one, just wondering if you guys have any tips. Never repotted, under a grow light and I’ll be getting a moss pole for it soon.

monsteras are prone to root rot so make sure your soil drains well and is dry before watering. i’d also recommend investing in a diluted fertilizer to help keep your leaves nice and big.

they also like to be root bound, so don’t repot unless it’s trying to break out of the pot or is rotting
