Soil for monstera

I need to know what soil to use for my monstera. Would the miracle grow tropical plant soil work?
3ft to light, indirect
12” pot with drainage
Last watered 2 months ago
So personally I’m a little funny on my soils, be careful with the brand Miracle Grow, it’s got some really toxic chemicals in its soils. I know it says organic and things but it’s got a lot of chemicals you want to avoid. - sorry that’s just an opinion. But otherwise yes, you can grow a monstera in it. πŸ˜‰
You can, but think of bagged soil as just a base, you need to mix in other stuff. Get indoor tropical mix (NEVER buy that yellow bag miracle grow, it's the worst).

At a minimum, pickup orchard bark (get the one in the photo with charcoal, coase perlite, and fir mixed in). Mix that with your bagged soil in a container to pot your plants.

I also like coco coir chips mixed in my soil mix for chunkiness.
