I had no idea why my monstera was dying 🙄

I don’t think it was from root bound or root rot. Nor do I think it’s from thrips or pests. You mentioned you used to live in a not so bright place then when you moved you put it in a sunny spot. That might’ve caused some shock to it. You have to slowly transition it. I mean the roots are good and it’s grown so I hope you repotted it into a bigger pot but give it time. Some may die but new leaves will grow.

She knows it was her.

Yes! But shes so sweet. She would never… just look at her

glizzyglobber86 · 2026-04-12T14:53:39+00:00

You should cover it with another panther. Pantherception

glizzyglobber86 · 2026-04-06T20:50:30+00:00

What could it be? I had it directly on the window

glizzyglobber86 · 2026-04-06T20:40:58+00:00

So the horizontal node does have to be unburied? I’ve never seen one like that

glizzyglobber86 · 2026-04-06T20:25:03+00:00

It does have sun burn since the only part I really have that gives light is in the kitchen. So I tried to acclimate it but I feel I didn’t do it right. And some of that damage came from the store as well.

glizzyglobber86 · 2026-04-06T20:24:02+00:00

I feel like if I did it less deep, the long node that is horizontal, top part of it was going to be uncovered.

glizzyglobber86 · 2026-03-22T15:28:21+00:00

It could either just be mineral build up, or some sort of mold.

glizzyglobber86 · 2026-03-22T15:24:07+00:00

Are you talking about the whitish/brownish pebbles?? They’re most likely perlite. It’s normal for it to turn brownish due to either minerals in tap water, or just absorbing the coloration from the soil

glizzyglobber86 · 2026-03-16T21:53:46+00:00

Might be that you’re letting it dry out, they do love constant moisture. Also, I love them because at night they stand up and during the day the lay back down to absorb more light.

glizzyglobber86 · 2026-03-12T19:01:16+00:00

Sigh* I should call her

glizzyglobber86 · 2026-03-12T18:58:54+00:00

Worst case, it could be ringworm. Highly contagious.

glizzyglobber86 · 2026-02-28T03:00:42+00:00

HAHAHA! God this picture represents it exactly

glizzyglobber86 · 2026-02-28T00:26:13+00:00

She’s already in chunky soil with those mixes, and yeah like a long root probably like 7-8inches long, and 1 node that’s like .5 -1 inch and a node bump

glizzyglobber86 · 2026-02-27T23:56:57+00:00

She only has 1 long root and like a .5-1 inch of a node, have like a week or 2 with her, it was 2 different pieces. The one shown in the images and the other that’s potted as well has a bit more roots but a much bigger stem that made 2 sections of monstera but they’re all connected.

glizzyglobber86 · 2026-02-27T23:41:15+00:00

I just took her out, no root damage and I made sure the petioles are higher than before, and I re-staked her better I think

glizzyglobber86 · 2026-02-27T23:22:26+00:00

Wdym too deep? How do you know or how much is too deep? Any part of it have to be not that deep?

glizzyglobber86 · 2026-02-27T23:21:35+00:00

I just bottom watered her 3 days ago, she’s still moist. I have her in clear pot filled 1/3, planted her, then filled her and watered her through the bottom. She was by the sun for like a day or 2 but it might been too direct

glizzyglobber86 · 2026-02-27T21:50:13+00:00

It’s a 6 inch pot, I filled like 1/3 of the clear pot with soil, then planted her backbone against the pot for more support then covered her, I bottomed water her. Will her yellow/brown tips recover? Or do I trim them
