I've got a Monstera with roots exploding out the bottom of the pot! Anyone have suggestions on repotting tips? I'm always a little nervous that I'll kill the poor thing when I repot it. Do I need to be careful about soil? Thanks in advance!

John Ehrling It isn’t too tricky. Tilt the pot on its side and gently loosen the plant out of the pot. Once it is out, if the roots look packed, loosen the roots with your hands, then transplant it into the newer larger pot.

Danielle Thank you so much! Are monstera's picky about soil or is a standard indoor blend good enough?

John Ehrling You can use a general indoor blend. Just make sure the soil is well drained.
