Thank you! Any recommendations on potting soil/mixes?

### Springvision commented on 2025-05-13

I use one part potting soil, one part orchid bark, one part perlite for all of my plants. Nice and chunky drains really well.

Agree. Something g with a lot of aeration

I used the blue moisture control miracle grow potting soil and an orchid mix soil and mine do amazing.

I’m gonna say “maybe”. Pull the plant out of the pot and see if the roots are starting to wrap themselves in a circle around the bottom or the circumference of the plant. Then YES! If all it’s doing is pushing a few out the bottom, you can wait. Monstera’s don’t mind being a little root bound

I think you should put it outside in the soil
