Hi all! I recently got a Monstera Deliciosa as a celebrating for graduating my first student from program! I am obsessed with her already. She is sitting about 10-12 feet from my large south facing bay window that gets bright sunlight for 10-14 hours per day. When I got her, she was already bursting her 6in nursery pot at the seams, so I immediately replanted her in this 8in pot with a drainage plate underneath. I live in the Midwest, so sunlight can be very hit or miss. My fav plant store said if you can read a book in the natural light for most of the day, that should be enough for a monstera. My living room blinds are always open, so it’s getting indirect sunlight daily. I do have a grow light that I can supplement the lighting if needed, but I’m really just looking for reassurance on the care. The first picture is this week, the second picture was right after I repotted her!

    She looks great! Know that Monstera’s tend to like their roots to be crowded, so I’m glad you didn’t go too large on the repot. Planta’s guidance on the Monstera tends to be pretty on the money, so you’re probably fine if you’re following the app. Regarding light, I think you could move her closer to the window if that’s possible, and no need for a grow light. I’m in the Pacific Northwest and my Monstrera loves being right up next to a west-facing picture window with blinds, but that’s me. She’ll tell you if she needs more light AND if she’s getting too much. Congrats!

      I will definitely keep an eye on her. She’s still new in my home, so hopefully she will adjust well. I can absolutely move her closer to the window if needed! Thank you for the help!
