Looks overwatered and in too dense of soil for a monstera

### Hani commented on 2024-09-19

What kind of soil would you recommend?

#### Alyssa replied on 2024-09-19

I’d recommend a pretty chunky mix, probably a mix of succulent/cactus soil base along with chunky perlite and some orchid bark, these are aroids so they actually grow up trees and barely have any roots in actual dirt or the ground

Thank you so much 🙏

That’s my suggestion as well but also check for aphids, mealy bugs etc. it looks stressed from bugs😔
