Monstera Aurea Gets a Stylish Upgrade: A Guide to Repotting Variegated Houseplants

In a recent online video, a plant enthusiast, known as MariahGrows, shared her process of upgrading her Monstera Aurea plant to a new pot. The video details the steps involved in repotting the popular variegated houseplant, from preparing the new planter to handling the plant's root system. The creator demonstrated how she adapted a decorative pink planter by fitting a clear plastic liner inside and cutting it to ensure adequate drainage. Upon removing the Monstera from its original container, she observed that its roots were not as dense as she had hoped. Consequently, the plant was repotted into the same size liner using fresh soil, highlighting the importance of proper drainage for plant health. The repotted Monstera was then placed into its new home, a stylish raised planter designed to facilitate better light exposure and include a hidden water collection bowl. The video serves as a practical guide for houseplant owners looking to repot their own plants.
