My first Monstera!
1 LikeI have a pretty good name idea, but I’m waiting to see what you Planta people come up with…
1 Like10/10 would recommend repotting it if you haven’t already, I just got some monsteras in the same self-watering pot from Costa farms and the soil was really compact. Variegated monsteras are more prone to root rot! Mine is named “Thai con” so surely you’ve got something more creative!
2 LikesThe soil seems nice (bits of bark, and a little spongy) self watering wick type pot…think it’s the right size for now.
1 LikeI have some quick draining cactus and succulent mix I could add, and perlite is also something I have to add…?
1 LikePerlite helps! I’ll get orchid bark and add it into soil mix to make it more chunky as well. If your plant seems happy definitely let it chill, mine was just a bit too soggy
2 LikesSpongy soil mix might not drain well enough for a Monstera. They like a very well draining soil. I have used 1/3 happy frog, 1/3 perlite 1/3 orchid bark. Sully after the monster in monsters Inc. is fun 😁
2 LikesIve been sitting on the name Herman, (as in Herman Monstera)
