Seeking Help from Fellow Plant Lovers: How Can I Safely Relocate My Beloved Plant?
Hello everyone,
I hope you're all doing well. I am reaching out to this forum in the hopes of finding some advice on how to safely move my beloved Monstera plant from upstairs to downstairs. Over time, the plant has grown significantly as I mistakenly repotted it into a very large plastic pot. However, I now realize that the pot is too heavy to lift, and unfortunately, the staircase leading downstairs is not feasible for moving the plant. The steps are not standard and have large gaps between them.
I have considered removing as much soil as possible, taking the plant out of the pot, and moving each element one by one, hoping not to damage the plant too much. However, I am concerned that this might kill the plant. As an alternative, I have considered propagating the plant by taking leaf cuttings to grow a new one downstairs. However, I am not familiar with the process, and I am afraid of failing, ultimately resulting in losing my original plant. I am really attached to this plant and want to do everything possible to ensure its survival.
If anyone has experience moving a plant in a similar situation or any advice on propagating a Monstera plant, I would be grateful for your insights. Thank you in advance for your help!
