Hello everyone!

So I bought a Thai monstera a while back. (Never repotted it/check it, my mistake). When I first purchased it, it only had a few leaves with black spots, I cut it off the infected leaves and let it be and MONTHS later, never got a new leaf.

I started seeing the black spots again about a month or 2 ago, so I checked for root rot/soil, and sure enough the potting soil used was not at all a chunky soil mix so tada root rot.

Cut off the infected roots, cleaned it and put it in a vase with leca clay pebbles and water with some monstera plant food.

Within a few weeks of the repot, 2 new leaves!! Yay! (Last photo is the 2 leaves that sprouted). I was so happy to see new leaves, with no black spots. Weird thing is the second leaf is HUGE compared to the previous one, but no fenestrations.

Today I decided to repot it in soil with a clear pot (60% perlite and 40% potting soil and some small rocks between), and cut off some of the older leaves.

Any recommendations on what to do next, or maybe something I missed? Asides from watering and sunlight of course. This is my first Thai monstera, I’ve only ever had monstera deliciosa and I didn’t realize how different Thai are taken care of. Any advice on how to care for them going forward would also be helpful!
