new to having plants, and im not sure if this is a "me" problem or my plant problem. i just repotted my swiss cheese monstera because of mold in the dirt. but after 3 days, the dirt started growing mold again. its in the sun to dry up the dirt after watering (not in the picture), and im not overwatering. any suggestions?

If it just came right back that means their mold spores in the soil or in your air. Increase circulation and treat it with some 1:3 peroxide dilution. There are other ways to sterilize the whole soil batch too
