I bought this Thai Constellation a couple of months ago and it’s in a self-watering pot, which I’m not loving. Has anyone had theirs in self watering pots and had them do well or would you repot it?
No! Self water pot for monstera is not a good idea. It’ll almost certainly cause root rot.

I recommend not using a self-watering pot PERIOD. On any plant. It’s obviously not intuitive and the risk is high.

I’d only do self watering if you’re doing semi hydro.

Self watering pot only in Semi-Hydro. Plenty of people are successful doing this with Leca or Pon. Leca Queen has videos going over methods to make the transition to semi-hydro successful without root rot.
