Product information
Application & repottingFor Monstera and Philodendron in pots and containers.
For pots and planters: the roots grow entirely in the medium inside the container, separate from natural ground soil. This is what ‘soilless cultivation’ means here. This mix is not intended to be worked into a garden bed.
Contains boron, copper and zinc in amounts relevant to plant cultivation. Declared nutrient contents apply when the product is placed on the market and may vary naturally. After storage, check nutrients before use if necessary.
The general leaflet supplements the repotting guidance. This growing medium remains limited to use independent of natural soil, as stated on its label. The leaflet’s garden-soil mixing instructions do not extend this product’s intended use.
Read product information and the label before use.

GREEN24 · Substrate knowledge
Repotting Monstera & Philodendron
Understand roots and substrate, then repot with care: three close-ups and eight illustrated steps guide you through the process.
Look at the root ball
Roots and substrate form the root ball. Support it when moving the plant and preserve healthy roots.
Recognise fine roots
Fine roots take up water and dissolved nutrients. Handle them gently and avoid unnecessarily pulling the root ball apart.
See the stem node
Aerial roots emerge from stem nodes. A suitable support steadies climbing shoots; guide aerial roots gently when repotting.
A closer look at the substrate
Dark peat and bark fibres form the organic base. Perlite, lava and expanded clay add visible mineral particles to the loose mix.
Practical guide
Planting and repotting in eight steps
These eight steps guide you through repotting Monstera and Philodendron, from assessing the root ball to aftercare. Protect the roots, retain the original planting depth and allow excess water to drain.
- 1
Assess the plant and prepare
Inspect the root ball and the condition of the old substrate. Crowded roots or an unstable pot can be reasons to repot; one yellow leaf alone is not enough.
Prepare fresh substrate, a suitable pot with a drainage hole, water and a support for climbing plants. Choose the timing by the plant's condition and growth rather than a fixed season rule.
- 2
Choose a stable, draining pot
Choose a stable pot with room for the existing root ball and some fresh substrate. Move to a slightly larger pot only when more root space is needed.
Keep drainage holes in the base clear. A closed outer pot does not replace a freely draining plant pot; excess water must be removable afterwards.
- 3
Prepare a substrate bed
Add enough ready-to-use substrate for the root ball to rest on fresh compost. Check the height before placing the plant: leave space below the rim for watering.
Keep the drainage holes clear and leave room for excess water to escape. A suitable saucer protects the surface underneath and can be emptied after watering.
- 4
Release the root ball and protect roots
Ease the plant out of its old pot while supporting the root ball. Do not pull on leaf stalks or shoots; preserve healthy fine roots.
Inspect visibly dead or damaged roots instead of routinely pruning the ball. Guide existing aerial roots gently and do not remove them simply because you are repotting.
- 5
Set at the original depth
Place the root ball on the prepared substrate bed. Use its former surface as the guide; do not bury the stem base or shoot junction more deeply.
Align the plant and add a climbing support if needed. Avoid pinching roots and aerial roots when positioning it.
- 6
Fill around and keep watering space
Add fresh substrate gradually around the root ball. Firm it only lightly to close large gaps without squeezing the ball.
Keep the new surface approximately level with the old root-ball surface. Leave watering space below the rim and do not bury the stem or root junction.
- 7
Water in and check drainage
Water evenly after placing the plant. Water should reach the newly filled area and drain through the outlet holes.
Let the pot drain and remove water from the saucer or outer pot. Avoid standing water; check substrate moisture before watering again.
- 8
Check settling and begin aftercare
After a short time, check whether the substrate has settled. Top up gaps gently if needed without setting the plant deeper or losing watering space.
Adjust later watering to the plant, site and moisture. According to the label, additional feeding with a suitable fertiliser begins no earlier than four weeks after potting.

Read the guideQuick answers before you buy (FAQ)
Can I use this mix straight away for Monstera and Philodendron?
Yes, the growing medium is ready to use in pots. The label specifies cultivation independent of natural soil, meaning containers separated from the ground.
Should I cut off my Monstera’s aerial roots when repotting?
Preserve healthy aerial roots when changing pots. They are part of a climbing Monstera; unnecessary cutting or forceful bending is not required.
Do I need a climbing support as well as the compost?
A suitable support is useful for a climbing Monstera. Plan its position when potting; whether a Philodendron needs support depends on its growth habit.
How large should the new Monstera pot be?
If more root space is needed, choose a stable pot only slightly larger than the old one. Clear drainage holes matter; large leaves alone do not determine pot size.
How much of the 10-litre bag will I need?
You need compost for the free space beneath and around the existing root ball. A reliable quantity depends on the sizes of both the pot and the root ball.
When can I feed again after changing pots?
The growing medium already contains fertiliser. According to the label, start further feeding with a suitable fertiliser no earlier than four weeks, taking the plant’s needs into account.
