This was a recent purchase of a monstera deliciosa, it came with 3. Was I right to pull them apart and repot? I’m afraid how much I irritated the roots may have been worse for them 😅

They’ll probably be fine, I split mine up a month ago and they’re all growing new leaves this week

Monstera's are pretty hardy. As long as you didn't put them in pots that are too big. They like to be snug. 😊

Mine was also two and I wish I had split her up much sooner. 😭 I feel like I slowed her real progress.

I did this but in 1 pot there were 15 separate monstera plants🤣 for 25 bucks!
