How do you feel about the prospect planting them in one of those half whiskey barrels? Im think they'd drain more than plastic but less than terra cotta?

Thanks!

I agree to this .👌

[@edriangarcia923]

Is it your terracota pots a clay?

[@lavvy2585]

What about when they get huge? Those pots are heavy. I have one it's not growing help!

Does this pot have any holes at the bottom for drainage and if so how many? Thanks!

Hi! I recommend that a pot has holes in the bottom. Without them, water will collect in the soil at the bottom and can cause root rot. I like to have 5 holes in mine. 1 in the center and 4 around the edges.

I just repotted my Monstera in a plastic pot ☹ should I repot it again. It was in really bad shape the soil it had contained slugs other bugs among other things. I gently cleaned each leaf with mild soap and water, trimmed with sterilized scissors the leaf i could not save and gave it fresh soil. The roots looked pretty healthy and so far I already see new leafs going to come. It looks a lot better than before but after seeing your video am wondering if I should repot it again. Thank you

Hi! Everything that you’ve done sounds like the right steps toward having a healthy monstera. In my experience, I’ve found that terracotta pots for indoor monsteras work better for long term growth. With plastic pots, they hold in a lot more water and can get water logged over time, leading to root problems. I hope this answers your question. 😄
