I bought a giant… help! So … I went into my local plant shop looking for something else… and this was there. I have a loyalty card with them and had £30 of points so she only cost £50 - how could I say no?! Now she’s here I feel a bit intimidated. I want to repot her (once she’s settled) into a very slightly larger terracotta pot and also change out the soil as it’s OK but not the chunky mix that I prefer. Oh, and I don’t like coco coir poles so would want to swap that out! Usually I’d just do this but she’s an established plant and clearly happy where she is. Should I just leave well enough alone and make changes in Spring as needed? Any thoughts very welcome. I already have a good-sized monstera that I’ve grown from small, and a Thai Con, so I generally know what I’m doing but her size is making me second-guess myself?!

I still have my monstera prop in water (it’s grown a new leaf since I got it). As you can see the roots have really taken off in the last bit but I’m scared to transfer it to soil. Any tips on making the transition smooth? Should I use a semi-hydro medium rather than soil? Also what do you guys use for fertilizer? Any tips/advice is appreciated.

Good day! As some may know my Thai Con has severe root rot. I got it late June for $90 😭 dose anyone know of some cheaper places, you know as a back up plan. 😉

Decapitated my monstera about a month ago. Roots are developing & it even pushed out a new leaf!

Anyone know why she’s been looking like this??? She’s not near a heater is by a window, so semi shade/semi sunlight? I mist her leaves daily her aerial roots are growing non stop (quickest it’s ever grown), long time ago she was part of a massive monstera (donated) but I had to cut her down because the poor bubba was infested with all sorts of bugs/fungus. Any help to her strive would be much appreciated!☺️☺️☺️

One of my young monsteras has a very slight green pattern… could this be green-on-green variegation? Plant looks quite healthy so I don’t think it’s dying? My other young ones are completely green on all leaves but this plant is a bit different 1st photo is the new leaf, 2nd is the oldest leaf Please let me know if im just crazy, or if this could be a possibility

When watering my momstera, when should I rewater her? I keep seeing posts that the app tends to overwater. Ive heard I need to let her dry out, and I usually let the top 1-2 inches of soil dry out but should I be waiting until the bottom of the planter is more dry?

My monstera esqueleto has been putting out new leaves with more fenestrations each time since it rooted, except this most recent leaf is showing odd damage. I was admittedly slow getting it onto a pole, and the leaf had already started to form before I repotted it. Any idea what this is? (The damage on the bottom leaf is how the cutting arrived)

Would you repot this monstera again if it was treated for root rot and repotted 3 weeks ago? Saw one small brown/black tip on a stem that I pulled out the other day. Looked like it had no roots attached. Is it perhaps just one stem that didn’t regrow roots after the last repotting or a sign that root rot is back? I have barely watered at all since the repot and have it by a SW facing window. Maybe I just missed some rot the first time around?

Hey! I need some help on my Monstera. I think I’ve had her for about 3 years now and I’ve never repotted her. By the looks of things, she really needs it 🥲 can I do it now? (Based in the UK) I’ve heard it’s best to wait until spring/summer but I don’t really want to wait that long! What’s the best soil to use? Also, how high up do i put the soil? TIA 🍀🌿🌱

PLEASE HELP!!! I don’t know what’s happening to my Thai con it had root rot so I gave it chunky soil, then I noticed it’s been sitting in a pool of water for weeks and I don’t know what to do!😭😭😭😭😭(I moved it for the photo it gets more light)

New to monsteras. What do I do to help this?

The aerial root is about 6ft long 😂😂 anyways which pot for this root bound guy? The 1 inch diameter bigger orchid pot or the 5 inch bigger grey square pot. I feel like with how it’s growing I’d need to repot again soon if I go smaller and the bigger one is considerably bigger than I’d normally feel comfortable with, but it’s in very free draining soil. I could just leave it but I think the root bound-ness is genuinely slowing growth down now.

When should I put this guy in dirt? It’s been in water for at least 3 weeks now. This is my first time propagating a monstera so any tips, tricks, or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I finally did it. I’ve been waiting for the universe to choose me 😂 first time monstera owner. I’m familiar with plants but is there anything I should keep in mind for this baby?

Typically keep this guy inside but have had him outside lately to dry to dry him out. Wondering if these leaves are signaling too much water? Thanks in advance for any advice/expertise!

So I moved my Thai con to Molly Airod mix and it lost two leafs and I’m concerned help!

Are these tiny white bugs in the soil harmless to my monstera? there’s none in the leaves but they are quite disturbing… if they’re soil mites they’re apparently beneficial but I can’t tell if that’s what they are. I’ll be repotting soon anyway but there’s literally hundreds of these bugs in the soil so I just hope its okay!
