# Hi! I bought a gorgeous trailing monsters adansonii a few weeks ago…

_Publicado por Ktaylor el 2024-06-05_

Hi! I bought a gorgeous trailing monsters adansonii a few weeks ago and repotted it because I could see she was root bound and outgrowing her pot. Once I transplanted her, within a few days most of her leaves turned yellow or brown and I chalked it up to transplant shock and ended up giving her a serious haircut. I then wondered if she needed more water \& inserted a terracotta olla to keep her hydrated at her own pace. Here’s a photo of some leaves from today… is this overwatered? Pests? Transplant shock? Thanks in advance…. Here’s also a photo of how fabulous she was before I repotted her. The difference is crazy

Maybe too much water let her dry out and start from there. Hope this helps.

What kind of soil is she in? They like a SUPER chunky mix. Does the pot have drainage?

#### Ktaylor respondió el 2024-06-05

I put her in a tropical mix with lava rock and moss… I can switch it to bark and perlite though!!!

#### Amie206 respondió el 2024-06-05

I think a mix of soil, perlite and bark is something they thrive in

Monstera Swiss Cheese likes being in the shade because it’s a tropical plant. It’s getting too much direct sunlight at the moment. Hang it in a corner where they get partial sun and shade.

I wanted to share my monstera swiss cheese. It’s been a year since I bought it and it’s growing nicely. It’s approximately 4ft from the main window in my living room and it receiving partial light and shade. Now, you can still leave in the window hanging just cover the direct sunlight with your white curtains and you should be good. Hope this helps.
