Recommendations for Monstera Bottom Tray Watering and Soil Loosening Frequency?

By ForwardPlant Team
For Monstera, bottom watering frequency depends on soil moisture; re-water when the top 2-3 inches of soil are dry. This usually means every 1-2 weeks. To loosen the soil, gently aerate the top few inches with a chopstick or similar tool every 2-3 months to improve aeration and water penetration. Avoid disturbing the roots.
