# I bit the bullet and repotted Montsé. Anything I should’ve done…

_Posted by Manic1 on 2024-05-10_

I bit the bullet and repotted Montsé.  
Anything I should’ve done differently?  
First time repotting a large(ish) plant so be gentle with me please 🙏🏼

Thanks 🙏🏼 I was SO nervous 😬 but I got a little help from my daughter who was visiting me.

You nailed it! DOUBLE moss pole?!? it’s going to be HUGE

This was her, a few weeks after I first got her, in October last year. She grew off to the right, like a maniac, and had to be repotted.

Mine just unfurled its newest \& biggest leaf - it’s gotten this big in just three years. It was about 2 feet tall with three or 4 leaves when I bought it. Now it’s about 5.5 feet and I’m hoping for at least 4 new leaves over the summer!!

I think we used the same poles. I stacked two together lol

Beautiful fenestration 😍

I saw something about wooden planks and I already had the plastic D ones and the sphagnum moss so I incorporated a wooden stake in each one too.  
Feeling rather pleased with the results.
