Advice needed!
Hi, I just got my first ever monstera Albo today. I got them as established, rooted cuttings in Leca from FB marketplace. I have never used Leca before, only used chunky soil mix. Since the root system is huge (pic 4) in the leca, should I keep it in that instead of chunky soil mix? How do you take care of a plant in Leca? Is it attached to a reservoir or are you supposed to fully water through until it comes out of the bottom like for soil plants?
Also, have I potted them correctly? Are they placed too deep in the pot? A few more questions:
- bright indirect light is recommended, but some recommend direct sunlight. Should I start acclimating it to bright sunlight?
- What fertilizer do you recommend in which medium?
- What humidity do you recommend?
- Do you recommend silica while watering? How often?
- Any other tips to keep her thriving and happy?
