My Thai con has been drooping lately and the soil was staying wet despite me not watering in at least 2 weeks. I recently repotted from a black nursery pot to a clear one but I up sized. I went to move her to a different area incase she just wasnât happy where she was and I noticed her roots were black. I lost almost all her roots to rot. I downsized her pot what do you think she can recover?
Absolutely it can recover but fyi, the white ârootsâ are actually the cores of root that rotted. They wonât bring anything to your monstera. Make sure you keep on the drier side with well draining soil moving forward. Give it plenty of light so it recovers đđ±
1 gilla Thank you. I think itâs because I upsized her pot she was doing fine before I did that

Absolutely she can recover! And lesson learned. Sizing up too big means the plant canât absorb all the moisture so soil stays wetter longer and that causes root rot. By downsizing and getting rid of rotted roots, you are giving her a 2nd chance!
1 gilla I hope she makes it. And yes lesson learned. As expected I guess because I am new to all this. I did a bunch of reading about the soil but not enough about the pot sizes. Iâm so happy I put her in the clear nursery pot because I would have never seen those roots
