So I haven’t watered my monstera for 9 days and I checked the soil today and it is still SOAKING wet. This has never happened before with this soil type before, does anyone have any ideas?

    Are you watering too much? Is the drainage sufficient? Is the soil old and needs changing? Do you check to make sure its not sitting in water after watering?

    Sometimes I go weeks without watering my Monstera plants. Queen Rat’s suggestions above are good though^

    Stick tampons in the soil. It will help soak up the excess water. Trust me, it really works.

    Mine is doing the same thing. i have just left it and it continues to do well. When it dries I’ll water it. I think it’s a fairly low maintenance plant.
