NEVER repot a large monstera outside, in full sunlight, in the middle of the day in Texas when it is over 100F, I’ve just learned that the hard way 😂

Oh noooooo😱 Who burned? You, the plant… both?

😂 I continued to mist the plant, so she’s okay at least. I however, I decided to that I’d didn’t want to get my shoes dirty, but the grass and concrete were burning lol. So both of us got misted, resulting in muddy soil, plant, and me. The other people in my house were so confused when I entered the house!😆

There were 9 plants in the one root-bound pot(this is the largest) and I wanted to separate all of them to give my friends and family monsteras 🤦‍♀️

This meant that I spent an hour outside tediously trying to separate the roots from the separate plants, which is why it was so miserable 😭😆
