10” pot with drainage

Are you referring to the white stuff on the soil? It looks like mineral deposit from using hard water. Do you use regular tap water to water your monstera?
Yes tap water 🫣
@LindsayH Ah, your tap water is what’s causing the white crusty build up. It’s not an issue. But do keep in mind that too much mineral buildup in the soil can hinder the plant’s ability to uptake nutrients. So, you might want to flush the soil with rainwater or distilled water at some point or you could replace the soil all together.
@OrangeGrass thank you! I’ve had her for a while and have always used tap water so I got worried! πŸ˜‚
