hi friends! i have recently repotted my monstera due to a massive fungus takeover in the soil and iā€™m worried the current soil itā€™s in is too dense for it now because i continue checking the moisture in the soil and it has not made much of a change since repotting. is it a bad idea to repot again with a new chunkier mix or will it throw the plant into shock? its been in the soil for about 2 weeks and ive only watered once since and iā€™m worried the soil is clogged at the bottom. tyia!

    Iā€™d change out the soil to avoid suffocating the roots. Especially if this is an excessively lengthy timeframe. Although, I often water my M. T.C. In chunky soil around 8-10 days. I have high ambient humidity of about 65-70% though. My M. Albo is in chunky w/more dense soil and is about the same. Monstera are prone to root rot. Good luck.

      thank you so much!! is it a good idea to give it a good watering or should i just set the soil in? iā€™m also worried that i may be overwatering her due to her leaves being droopy and a little yellow around one of my leaves

    Iā€™ve been adding orchid bark and perlite to my soil to make it not so dense and to help with drainage. Seems to be doing good but every plant is different!!

    I add in some chunky horticultural charcoal to my soil mix as well!

    Horticultural charcoal benefits most plants it acts like a nutritional component and helps protect against disease. ā€œBiochar helps allow better uptake of nutrients and fertilizers added to the soil for larger plants and greater yields of fruits, vegetables and blooms on plants.ā€
