# my monstera looked a little sad so I pulled the soil away to check…

_Posted by harriet🪴🌵 on 2024-03-26_

my monstera looked a little sad so I pulled the soil away to check its roots looked okay, everything was fine but I’ve noticed a couple of little yellow seed like balls throughout the soil? is this seeds or signs of some kind of bug or something?  
if it’s seeds do they do anything in the soil? Will they grow to be more plants???

possibly fertiliser!

If you’ve not repotted this plant then it’s likely the fertilizer in the soil from the original grower
