Hey Plant Fanatics! I’m a first time plant mum to quite a few house plants… in which I’m struggling with!! Firstly my monstera looks quite sad… any advice Secondly my fiance left my Peace Lily outside and she now has sun stroke.. any advice to help her. Also any advice to starting planting seeds. I really want to grow herbs from scratch and was wondering if I could use old soup cans to do this in???
Is it getting enough light? From the picture it looks quite dark
좋아요 1개 Hi - yes, there is a good 6-8 hrs of indirect sunlight in the room. The picture is quite dark as it’s getting dusk…

0개 좋아요 You will have to cut off all rotten roots (anything brown and squishy, I like to wash off the root system to get a better idea of what needs cut) , and then depending how much of the root system is left you can repot in a better draining soil (drainage holes are key as well) or put it in water until it grows more roots. You should try and make sure monsteras are completely dry before watering as well 😊
