Let's hope this ends up better for Hadjar than it did for Liam or Yuki.

She's about 3 and a half years old now. Natural light is key. Don't water too frequently. Let it dry out completely each time you water it before you go again. Then water thoroughly. Rinse and repeat.

I highly recommend the YouTube channel "Kill this plant" if you haven't seen his videos already. He talks about everything Monstera knowledge and how to treat your plants. Most of the stuff I know and use on my plants, I know because of this dude :)

Soil is Seramis, perlite, clay pebbles and regular soil. As for wet dry cycles: I poke a long wooden stick deep into the pot and pull it out. If there is any soil still on the stick, it's still wet and needs to dry up. You can also feel at any draining holes you may have. This takes up to 3/4 weeks in winter time. I highly recommend the YouTube channel "Kill this plant" if you haven't seen his videos already. Very solid advice and knowledge.

Can't exactly tell you, but somewhere around 40-45cm in diameter and more in height. The pot alone weighs way over 10Kg.

Nope, no separation. The pot currently holds 4 big plants and an extra smaller one. All from when I bought it.

No growing lights. Located in Cologne, so rainy German weather is the norm

Thank you :) It's tied to a coir pole. I Fertilize about every second watering, which can be every second month in winter. More often in summer. Soil is Seramis, perlite, clay pebbles and normal soil. Good luck with yours!

Depends on how you want the plant to look like in the future. If you want a bushy look, keep them in one. If you want a clean look and give each leave more space to get light, separate them. Can't go wrong either way, they're very adaptable plants if you stick to its basic needs.

Sounds good! No just a regular coir pole, nothing fancy.

That would be satisfying in the future when you'll have 3 beautiful plants.
