Should I use a large or small pot for Monstera?

Monstera is a medium to large potted plant, and is more suitable for a large pot. The diameter of the pot should not be less than 20 cm, and only one plant should be planted in a pot. If the pot is too small, it will be disproportionate and affect the beauty of the plant.

Growing environment: Monstera prefers a warm, humid, semi-shady growing environment. The suitable temperature for growth is 20-30℃. During the growing period, the potting soil must be kept fully moist, and the leaves must be cleaned in time in winter.

Repotting time: It is best to repot the Monstera tree between March and April in spring. The temperature begins to rise at this time, and the impact on the plant is relatively small.

Should I use a deep or shallow pot for Monstera?

In the early stages of Monstera's growth, you can use shallow pots, but in the later stages it is more suitable to use deep pots, because its root system needs sufficient space to grow, and you will need to replace it with a deeper pot as the plant grows.

Monstera has fleshy roots and cannot tolerate water, so the flower pot must have good air permeability. You can choose a clay pot, ceramic pot, purple clay pot, etc.

How to repot Monstera

Stop watering the Monstera a few days before repotting. First, remove the Monstera from the original potting soil, prepare new breathable, drainable, and nutritious flower soil for it, and then plant it in the new pot. Be careful not to water it immediately, and be careful not to allow water to accumulate in the soil in the later stage.
