Our Monstera Root Supplement is a root supplement for monstera varieties, for use at repotting, transplanting and while roots recover. It supports new root development and recovery after repotting, transplanting or root loss.
Root Supplement for monsteras with sea kelp, soil probiotics, and plant-based surfactants — made to build the root system behind big, well-split new leaves. This is a supplement, not a fertilizer: it works alongside your monstera food, with probiotics improving nutrient uptake and surfactants helping water spread through the whole pot instead of channeling past a dry root ball.

“I have been using the TPS Monstera Root Supplement as well as the TPS Monstera Plant Food for about a year now with excellent results. Not long after I began using it, it stimulated new growth.”

Soil and root health are shaped by watering, drainage, light and season as much as by what you add, so this is one part of overall plant care.
Nourishes foliage for deeper color and a brighter, more vibrant look.
Encourages fresh leaf and stem growth for a fuller, thriving plant.
Supports healthy, resilient roots and effective nutrient absorption.
Watering can
1 tsp per quart (32 oz) of water
Spring & summer: every 1–2 weeks · Fall & winter: every 4 weeks
Bright, indirect light for most of the day. Low light gives small, solid leaves with no splits, and long hours of direct sun scorch the foliage.
Water thoroughly when the top two inches of soil feel dry, then empty the saucer. Monsteras take a short dry spell far better than a pot that stays wet.
A chunky, airy mix of potting soil with bark, perlite and coco coir. The thick roots want air pockets, and dense soil holds water against them.
Around 50 percent or higher suits them. Grouping plants, a pebble tray or a small humidifier all help, since dry winter air brings crisp brown leaf edges.
Use Monstera Root Supplement alongside your regular monstera fertilizer, especially around repotting, propagation and other root stress. It works on the roots rather than replacing a feed.
Move up one pot size every year or two in spring, once roots circle the bottom. Add a moss pole or stake so new leaves have something to climb.
Monstera Root Supplement follows the same rhythm as your regular feeding. Mix 1 teaspoon per quart of water and apply every 1–2 weeks in spring and summer, then every 4 weeks in fall and winter, as part of your normal watering. It’s designed to work alongside your monstera fertilizer rather than replace it, so keep that feeding schedule in place and add this to the rotation. The most useful times are around repotting, propagation or any stretch when the roots are under stress.
Leave them, train them onto a moss pole, or guide them back into the soil; all three work. Aerial roots are part of how a climbing monstera anchors itself and supports bigger leaves as it matures, so avoid cutting healthy ones off. Directed into the pot, they take up water and nutrients like ordinary roots, which means they benefit from watering and from Monstera Root Supplement too. Its fulvic acid helps carry minerals into those roots, and the kelp supports new root growth once they’re in the mix.
Fenestrations come with maturity, light and support. A young plant won’t split whatever you feed it, and low light keeps leaves small at any age, so bright, indirect light and something to climb matter most. Where roots come in: each new leaf draws on root capacity, and a plant with a limited or recovering root system produces leaves the same size as the last. Monstera Root Supplement supports root development with kelp, probiotics and fulvic acid, so once light and maturity are in place, the size progression isn’t held back below the soil.
It’s a supplement, not a fertilizer, and yes, you still need monstera food. Monstera Root Supplement contains no nitrogen, phosphorus or potassium by design. Its four ingredients, sea kelp, a probiotic houseplant blend, plant-derived surfactants and fulvic acid, work below the soil line to build root health and improve how well the roots take up water and nutrients. The actual nutrition still has to come from a fertilizer. Used together, the supplement makes the root system better at using what your monstera food delivers.
Yes, and freshly potted propagations are the classic use. Once a cutting has roots and goes into soil, it’s running on a small, new root system, and how quickly that system establishes decides how fast your plant takes off. Start Monstera Root Supplement at 1 teaspoon per quart with the first regular watering after potting; the kelp supports new root growth and the surfactants help water reach the whole root ball. For cuttings still in water, wait until they’re potted, since the probiotics are a soil blend.
Root progress shows above the soil on a delay. Within 2–4 weeks of regular use, a monstera on Monstera Root Supplement tends to hold steady and resume pushing growth rather than sulking after a repot or division. New leaves reflect it next: in the growing season, a healthy monstera unfurls a new leaf roughly every 4–6 weeks, and stronger roots show as steadier production and better size progression leaf over leaf. If water had been channeling past a dry root ball, more even soaking is often the first visible change.
