BAD I have one and it got fungus from that
いいね 1件oh god thank you i will remove it right away 🫡
2件のいいね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!
2件のいいねYes i will have to start doing that from now on a lot of her roots were rotted
いいね 1件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.
2件のいいね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.
2件のいいねohh okay thank you! sadly i lost a lot of roots but hopefully she will be okay!
0件のいいね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. 🫤
0件のいいねYes! I wish there was some alert that they are on the plant!
いいね 1件Is there an easy way to find out
0件のいいね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.
