Hi everyone Need some help with my monstera. Her name is Ellie. I repotted her two weeks ago. But then the soil had gnats (I think that’s what they are called). So I decided to repot her again. I think she is dying because of all the stress but I don’t know what to do to save her🥺
When I have bugs I sprinkle cinnamon on the top of the soil to kill any eggs and get some sticky yellow fly paper real close to snag all the flying guys. Don’t repot again. That’ll stress her out too much.

Hey I think this plant will be on. Make sure you didn’t cover the top roots with soul those are the roots that Monstera’s breath through. Give this plant some sun for a few hours a day inside not out. if your have access to a plant nursery they make a product that helps to support roots that go into shock. It looks a little water logged. It will bounce back give it a little hug.

I think the plant will be fine, just take off the yellowing leafs, check the soil, if it’s wet don’t water it for a week, monsteras like to dry out a bit before watering. Pests might cause this to, make sure to sprinkle some cinnamon and you can buy some butterfly shaped sticky traps if you want. Hope this helped.
