So this monstera was originally my moms but I took it with me when I moved out in January this was her in February, she was a challenge at first, found out the soil wasn’t taking in water it just came straight out of the bottom so I decided to not only soak/drench her in water but to chop her too now I did switch her to a sunnier spot but she burned as you can see in the side leaves so I put her back and now she’s doing better . The next picture is her last month and the last one is her tonight I feel like I’m doing good, She does have two more leaves coming in 😊
