How to divide a Monstera deliciosa? Detailed explanation of the correct method and steps

1. Removing from the pot

Lay the flower pot of the Monstera deliciosa that needs dividing on its side on the ground, and pat the pot wall with your hand to separate the potting soil from the pot. If it is a plastic pot, you can cut it open directly to complete the removal.

2. Cutting off the roots

After removing it from the pot, loosen the soil around the roots and cut the roots, trimming off overly long roots, old roots and diseased roots, leaving only one growth bud.

3. Potting

When growing Monstera deliciosa, use humus soil; you can mix leaf mold and original soil in a half-and-half ratio. At this time, do not fertilize, because the roots are already damaged and will not absorb it. Prepare several flower pots according to the number of plants, then plant them directly into the pots and add soil; do not fill the soil too full, so as to make watering easier later.

4. Watering

After potting and planting, be sure to water thoroughly once. Afterwards, water once every two days, and do not water too much, to avoid water accumulating in the potting soil. Once the recovery period has passed, just care for it as normal.
