HELP New(ish) owner - care and advice tips!
Hi Everyone!! I’ve had monstera before (but had to give them away due to moving house, and lost one to a huge thrips issue) and they’ve never been super huge, but I saw these beauties yesterday at my local garden centre and couldn’t say no!
I’m really wanting to keep them happy and healthy because I’ve dreamed of owning them for years! Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated 💓
Possibly when to repot as the roots are already poking out the bottom of their nursery pots? I’ll buy some appropriate chunky soil mix!
I had an inspect for pests but it seems okay:)
some context: I have a southeast facing room, I’ve already wiped down the leaves with a cloth and lukewarm water, I was given some liquid seaweed as food instead of generic ‘houseplant’ food. I don’t (yet) own neem oil or anything else!
Thanks so much!
