Step 5
Take your new pot. Make sure to punch out the drainage holes. Fill it up 1/3-1/2 way with new soil. This will just have to be estimated. I filled mine 1/3 way and placed my monstera in there and it wasn’t quite enough.
Once you place your monstera in the soil, start filling the rest of the pot with soil. Once it’s somewhat supported, you can place your supporting rods (moss stick, bamboo rods, etc). Continue filling with soil until the roots are completely covered. Pack firmly but not ridiculously tight.
I just use a regular indoor potting soil which is fine, but I’ve seen people use other kinds as well.
My motto is “don’t fix it if it ain’t broke.” And, I was pretty happy with how my roots looked, the rate at which my monstera has grown (even in winter), and the fact that she always seems happy so I’m sticking to this.
