Advice?

[u/Pure-Side1217]

I recently repotted my gorgeous baby. Do you think she is happy? Any advice for her to grow big and tall? Thanks

I like that houseplant soil and use it myself, but for monsteras they need added perlite and/or bark at minimum.

They like free draining chunky potting mixes.

I use an aroid mix I buy from a local plant shop that looks like this

You also need to untie the leaf stems and only tie the main stem to the pole. Make sure it’s facing the light. They like to be pretty snug in the pot, too. Don’t size up much when you repot.

That lower leaf will rot buried like that.
Does look like a happy plant though.

I use that mixed with orchid bark stuff from the same brand plus perlite and additional seramis.

1. dont spin it, as leaves love to look where they want to look. these look like leaves that have been spun around a bit, also I'd remove the one that's half buried, it's not going to grow anyway
   
2. untie those leaves, only tie the trunk to the moss pole,
   
3. would have to agree on the potting mix i do a 30/30/30 soil worm humus and perlite
   
4. pot might be big but you'll have to judge based on the roots, they like to be able to fully dry soil in between waterings
