    Make sure it is in a chunky soil bc they are prone to root rot

    A big mistake people make with monsteras is putting them directly in bright light. Monsteras LOVE light, it helps them make fenestrations, but giving them light when theyre shocked gives them brown spots. Youre doing the right thing keeping it on your counter. Over the next couple of weeks, move it closer and closer to the light. I do this with other plants too, but monsteras are especially sensitive to this

      Also, keep it in a small pot. Dont be worried about it becoming root bound at all, monsteras put out bigger leaves in small pots. I agree with the others that the soil is too tight, i would change to a looser one. Im a fan of sphagnum moss + terracotta pot combo, but i always see monsteras in rocky soils. Whatever works for you, pick one and stick to it.

    Since I have heard they are prone to root rot, I wouldn't use a self-watering pot. But I also have no experience with self watering pots.
