What kind of soil do you have this and are you allowing it to dry out between waterings? #### Mae svarede den 2024-07-02 uhh, it’s just ground soil 😭 i haven’t been able to get potting soil for it. i follow planta’s watering schedule but i believe it does dry between watering. #### eatyacarbs svarede den 2024-07-02 I would get this into a well draining, chunky aroid mix ASAP. You need to peep the roots to make sure nothing shady is happening 🤞🏻 #### Mae svarede den 2024-07-02 i went to check the roots and turns out there were two different monsteras 😭👍 i put them both in smaller, separate pots. 💀💀 i’ll start waiting longer to water them from now on #### Em svarede den 2024-07-03 I have three separate monstera plants in one pot! Its been pretty happy and I’ve had it for a few years, so I don’t think it should be an issue if they’re combined #### Marc75 svarede den 2024-07-03 Little tip I learned. It goes give you loads of soil but it’s the best budget way. Buy 100 litres perlite 100 litres fine pine chippings And then pick up regular peat free soil from anywhere (like ones on offer) Works out WAY cheaper than buying premix 🙏🏼😊 _1 nyt svar i appen_ ### Matilda kommenterede den 2024-07-02 I find the planta schedule a bit wet for my monstera, make sure to check the soil dampness with your fingers before you water it #### Mae svarede den 2024-07-02 yeah, i’m just gonna put him somewhere more sunny and start checking way more thoroughly 😭 --- _Planta-fællesskabet (https://getplanta.com).
