Freshly potted monstera

Plant Help

Hi all,

I just potted in ad-hoc soil this beauty, which grew for 2 years or more in water.

I think it's taking on very well, most leaves have turned towards the windows as you can see, and they seem very healthy and stable.

It has not generated new stems yet tho.

In the video you can also see a little stem that I cut off because the leaf died this August after 1 month of curtains down (I was on vacation sadly), I already took out the stem after taking the video because it just came out of the soil naturally, it had detached itself from the roots.

You can also see this other leaf that got a bit brown during the same period (while it was still in water). After potting the plant in soil, the brown parts have started getting a yellow border separating the brown from the green. Is that good?

That said, ti seems it's thriving?

Thanks in advance!
