    BAD! I’ve lost 3-4 plants because of them!!! Restricted root growth. They grew just fine for a few months. I’d left them either in original nursery pot or I followed the advise of not messing with the root ball when transplanting and therefore didn’t see it because of dirt that covered it. Either case, did well for a bit and Boom! they looked hideous almost overnight and died despite my best efforts to salvage them. Unless I know the person that grew from seed or that they removed or checked for them before they transplanted, I inspect each new plant for one shortly after receiving it!

    Yes always remove - sometimes you’ll find bands also remove them also. It limits growth and sometimes we miss it for too long and lose the plant all together.

    I believe they’re Soil Bags that they used when the plant was teeny tiny in a greenhouse somewhere, but then they never remove them from it. It really should be degradable or just removed all together prior to repotting, but it’s not unfortunately.

    Yeah. Darn things!! I know…lots of people say they don’t harm the plants. But I beg to differ. They restrict the roots. Unfortunately, you just don’t usually find out they’re on your plant until damage is done. 🫤

      If your Monstera is doing fine then leave it alone. At the next repot just remove all the soil from the root ball and take a peek.
