Question

ForwardPlant Team · Accepted Answer

Absolutely! For Monstera, a coarse-grained substrate is highly beneficial. It promotes excellent drainage and aeration, crucial for preventing root rot and ensuring a healthy root system. This mimics their natural epiphytic environment, allowing roots to breathe and thrive. Incorporating elements like orchid bark, perlite, and pumice creates the ideal chunky mix they love.
