Since every repot for your Monstera means pure stress, this care is not on fixed dates on the program. How your window leaf signals the desire for a larger pot of fresh substrate:
Lack of space is indeed the most important reason to repot the mighty climbing plant. Nevertheless, deficiency symptoms also require the change to fresh substrate, in which case the previous bucket can be reused.
Guide for professional repotting
At the end of winter time is the best time to repot a window leaf. Provide a new culture pot that has bottom openings as drainage. Choose the size so that there is space for two fingers between the root ball and the pot wall. As substrate, we recommend loose rhododendron earth on compost basis, as it has a slightly acidic pH, as a window leaf wishes it. How to professionally repot:
Center your Monstera so that the root disk is 2 to 3 cm below the edge of the bucket. This pouring edge ensures that later no substrate-water mixture spills over. Overhanging aerial roots gently bend into the substrate. In the end, pour the transplanted window leaf with lime-free water. Since fresh soil is always pre-fertilized, the nutrient supply lasts for 6 to 8 weeks.
Tips
Repotting your Monstera is the perfect opportunity for a topiary. Carefully cut disturbing tendrils by up to two-thirds of their length. From the sleeping eyes, the window leaf drives then again cheerfully. Only the aerial roots are spared from a pruning.
