I just picked up this from Costco. Its leaves seemed so green! It appears to be TWO plants in the pot, on opposite sides of each other. The nursery pot is starting to get an oval shape (and the thicker plastic outer pot also is forced to take the shape when it’s in it). As soon as I got home, I watered it in the tub as it was VERY dry. Letting it drain now for a while before I put it back in. Being a first timer here, what do I do with this plant? Should I separate into two unique plants altogether? How long do I wait to do that? What is the best soil mix? So many questions! Hoping someone out there can give me some advice of what to do to ensure it is cared for.

    Hi there I got one from costco couple weeks ago and it was my first monstera as well.I am not expert here but what worked for me was repotting with equal parts soil, orchid bark and perlite. Also I would suggest to check for bugs and pests and give it a nice shower and spray with garden spray and then clean the leaves after few minutes. Mine started dying as soon as I bought it home and repotted with all purpose soil only and it had pests as well but after doing all that it is recovering now and now It has a new leaf as well. Tanner the planter and plants with krystal on youtube has great videos that helped me as well. Hope it helps🍃

    About separating, again not expert here, and from what I know from videos online I think you should wait till summer for that but I separated mine when I was repotting 2nd time and just took a risk when removing all the soil from roots and separated it although mine has complex root system and was not 2 separate plants like yours. And mine is working good. But I would suggest to wait for someone else’s suggestion as well. And if unsure wait till summer.

    I’m don’t know a lot but separating if that is a good option(not sure) would make it easier to support both of them. Mine looked just like this, pushing its back against the pot for support. When I did repot mine I put a pole behind it so it can push and lean on that. Here’s a before and after picture
