Hi guys, I received this monstera for my birthday and it’s so cute but hasn’t been very well looked after. Any tips would be appreciated !!

    I would give it new soil to start. I think you can keep it in the same pot, but you’ll know more once you pull it out of the pot. A chunky mix 1/4 Fox Farm is an excellent choice), 1/4 orchid bark, 1/4 chunky perlite, 1/4 coco husk. Some people go soilless. If you do that add horticultural charcoal and worm castings.

      Hi, I’ve already repotted in the photo. It came rootbound so I repotted already with all houseplant soil.

      It definitely needs more aeration. A standard potting mix is going to “choke” the roots.

      There are like rocks and stuff in the soil though

    Can you see the difference in how chunky my mix is?

      Yeah okay, I found some wood chips at the park and picked some up. I have put them into the soil and changed the soil again as there was little flies in it. There’s no where near as much as yours, but there’s a lot down at the roots and some at the top?
