Spring, summer, and into the early fall are good times for repotting Rhaphidophora plants.
Monsteras grow on the bottom of the tropical rainforest floor. This mix I use mimics the rich plant materials and organic matter that falls on them from above and provides the nourishment they need.
The pot I used had more than one drainage hole. I cut out a round of newspaper to cover the holes so any mix wouldn’t flow out in the 1st few waterings. You want the water to flow out the bottom. Otherwise, the soil mix will stay too wet, which leads to root rot.
My soil mix recipe: – 1/2 potting soil. – 1/2 coco fiber. – I added a few handfuls of coco chips, pumice, and compost. – I end by top dressing with a 1/4 – 1/2? layer of worm compost.
Give your Rhaphidophora a good watering after you do the repotting.
I then put mine back in the kitchen in bright indirect light. It grows in the corner near a south-facing window with no direct sunlight hitting it.
