You can repot your Monstera after you do this

You'll know when to repot your Monstera with experience. If you're new to the Monstera Deliciosa, then the best way to know if its time to repot this plant is to take it out of the soil and actually observe the roots. Once the roots are thick and are taking up most of the space in your plant it's a good time to repot.
Very rarely will your plant be root bound enough to stunt growth or harm your plant. There really isn't a rush to repot. Good light, consistent watering, and gentle fertilizing will always win the day.

Some plants might be ready to repot every 6 months. Some once a year. What are you doing to check your roots?

I love the helpful info you are giving in your videos. You actually know what you’re talking about, in contrast with most “tiktok plant experts”. I also mostly leave the roots on my plants alone, but not when they come in compacted nursery soil wich stays too wet. Those i bare root and put in a mix that suits the plant, so you don’t have 2 different soil mixes in a pot wich creates different moisture retention rates in those specific soil mixtures.

It's probably not that urgent for you to "fix" the placement of your pole. But if you're going to, now is a better time than later.

@KillThisPlant 2 жыл бұрын

If you think you can get it in/out without damaging the roots go for it. You could also take it out of the pot, put the pole in, and put it back in the same sized pot. You may need to loosen the roots to create space.

They are either in low light and or your pot size increase was too large for their root mass. Now the soil is staying wet for too long and your roots are dying. This is what's most likely.
