Hi William Perez -- Another thought regarding your monstera. You might ju=
st
soak the whole pot in a large tub of water to loosen the soil and them wa=
sh
it off and repot. I believe Monsteras are secondary hemi-epiphite which
essentially means that they start on the ground, climb trees, and sever
contact with the ground at times as they clamber through the canopy. l>
