My Monstera got root rot in my old Portland apartment

I was watering it like normal last month, but the pot didn't have enough drainage. The leaves started turning yellow and I had to cut off over half the roots. I repotted it into a terracotta pot with a chunky mix and it's finally putting out a new leaf. Anyone else had to do major surgery on a favorite plant?

Was it actually root rot or just some old roots dying off? Plants lose roots sometimes and it's not always a big deal. Sounds like you fixed the pot anyway so it's fine now.

Wait did you actually check the roots or just assume it was fine?

Totally agree, my pothos does that all the time.
