When is the best time to repot Monstera

Monstera repotting time

Generally, the newly purchased Monstera needs to be repotted, because most of the Monstera sold outside come with plastic pots, which have poor drainage capabilities, so you need to replace it with a pot with good drainage.

Monstera prefers a warm environment, so it is suitable to repot it in spring, which is usually in April. When repotting, pay attention to giving it more light and control the temperature at around 20 degrees Celsius.

Methods and steps for repotting Monstera

1. Treatment before repotting

Generally, before repotting the Monstera, you should first trim its roots and branches and leaves, so that it can quickly adapt to the new environment when planting.

2. Prepare the flower pot

Generally, Monstera does not have very high requirements for flower pots. You only need a flower pot with a relatively large diameter, and it is best to have drainage holes at the bottom.

3. Choose soil matrix

When planting Monstera, you need to use some better soil for it. You can use a mixture of garden soil and leaf mold, which has both nutrients and a certain degree of air permeability.

4. Basin operation

Generally, when potting, you can first place the Monstera in the soil, and then cover it with some soil until the roots are completely covered.
