Repotting a cheese plant: when and how? Tips for keeping your Monstera Deliciosa healthy and happy!
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

So, I’ve got this cheese plant, a Monstera, you know? It’s been growing like crazy, and I figured it was time to give it a new home. I mean, the roots were starting to peek out of the drainage holes, a sure sign it was feeling cramped.

First off, I gathered all my stuff. You’ll need a new pot, of course, one that’s a bit bigger than the old one. And some fresh potting mix, the kind that drains well ’cause these plants don’t like soggy feet. Gloves are a good idea too, ’cause things can get messy. Oh, and a watering can, naturally.

Getting Down to Business

Next, I gently tugged the Monstera out of its old pot. It was a bit of a struggle, I won’t lie, those roots had really taken hold. I had to carefully loosen the soil around the edges and wiggle it free. It’s important to be gentle here; you don’t want to damage the roots too much. They are the plant’s lifeline, you know.

Once it was out, I took a look at the root ball. It was pretty root-bound, all tangled up. I teased the roots apart a bit, just to encourage them to grow outwards in the new pot. Think of it like giving them a little massage. It was a bit like moving into a new house – the plant needed a bit of time to settle in and adjust. Transplant shock is a real thing.

Then, I placed a layer of fresh potting mix in the bottom of the new pot. I set the Monstera on top, making sure it was centered. Then I just filled in the rest of the pot with soil, pressing it down gently to remove any air pockets.

Finally, I gave it a good watering, letting the water drain out the bottom. And that’s it! My Monstera’s got a new home, and hopefully, it’ll keep thriving.

  • Find a new pot
  • Get some dirt
  • Pull it out real gentle
  • Put some dirt in the new pot
  • Stick it in there
  • Give it a drink

It’s not rocket science, really. Just gotta be careful not to break those roots. And remember, they like their water, but not too much. Easy peasy, and now my plant’s got room to stretch its legs, so to speak.

It was a fun little project, and my Monstera seems happy with its upgrade. We’ll see how it goes, but I’m pretty sure it will keep growing.
