Monstera deliciosa growing poorly? Move it from soil to water culture - clean and easy to root

When converting a Monstera deliciosa from water culture to soil culture, first take it out, wash the roots clean, and soak them in a disinfectant solution; then prepare a flower pot and a loose, breathable, well-draining potting soil; next, begin repotting it, holding the Monstera deliciosa with one hand and filling in soil with a small trowel with the other; finally, carry out the aftercare.

1. Clean the roots

First clean its roots thoroughly and rinse them with water, then cut off the rotten roots, and soak them in a disinfectant solution to disinfect them.

2. Prepare the flower pot

When choosing a flower pot, you can use a clay pot, plastic pot or porcelain pot, etc.; any pot with good breathability will do. The size of the pot should be determined by the size of the plant.

3. Prepare the potting soil

When choosing a growing medium, prioritize looseness, breathability and good drainage, and it should also retain water and nutrients. Here, a soil mixed from peat soil and perlite is the best choice, or you can simply buy one from the market.

4. Repot

After the soil is prepared, you can hold the plant with one hand and use a small trowel to fill soil into the pot with the other. When the soil is half filled, you can gently lift the plant up a little so that its roots can spread out, then continue filling with soil, and stop when it is nearly full.

5. Aftercare

After all the above steps are completed, the aftercare is also very important. First, place it in a semi-shady spot or a place with scattered light, and never let strong light shine directly on it. Then use a spray bottle to spray water on the plant to replenish moisture for the leaves, and then water the pot. In addition, do not rush to fertilize it at this time; wait until it has rooted. If you care for it well, under normal conditions it will grow new roots after one month.
