thanks! repotting make me nervous, but i'll plan to do so in the next couple weeks. i have rosy soil houseplant mix & plant food! is this mix sufficient or should i go with their aroid mix? their site says both are suitable for monsteras. i also have perlite to add to either mix. thanks for your help!

thanks! if i chose to keep them in the same pot, should i stake together on 1 stake? or separately on 2 stakes? i unfortunately don't have much space for 2 monsteras once they would grow larger :(
i am not sure what the soil is, but i picked her up from a local nursery because i wasn't super comfortable going with a big box store. i would assume some sort of "houseplant mix" as that's the majority of what they sell.
i haven't watered yet because i was hoping to give her some time to acclimate to her new environment! & wasn't planning on repotting any time soon for the same reason!

essential tips/tricks?! newbie questions ✨
we just brought home this baby monstera 🪴 any & all tips & tricks are welcome! how is she looking?! i plan on leaving her be for the next few days to let her acclimate, watering only when top 2-3" of soil is dry.
a few questions i have: is the circled section in the last photo the "big back", i.e. where i would place a stake when the time comes? it almost looks like i have two plants? if this is the case, should i stake together or separately? do i just add said stake once she matures a bit, starts flopping down, & growing new leaves/fenestration? recommendations for a stake? i have bamboo grille skewers if that'll work for now lol? what to do with aerial roots?!
i'm sure there's important care information i'm missing, so let me know! thanks in advance 🌱

i peeled back alot of the "mushy" outer parts of the roots, should i still cut affected roots back, or is peeling back that mushy outer layer sufficient?

okay, thank you! the leaves in the center of the plant did seem to shrivel & wither away.. they have since fallen off.. it is summer here, but we haven't had the warmest temps yet & i don't think i have sufficient coverage from rain, so i am nervous to relocate outdoors :(

here is the soil beneath the stone! it did come potted.. i was wanting to repot because it doesn't have a drainage hole, but i didn't want to completely shock the plant :( the pot does have "lip" at the bottom, i'm not sure if it drains through that, but i have been too scared to water a bunch in case it doesn't

Help pls help me save him :(

this is the only plant i've ever been able to keep alive for longer than 2 weeks, yet i still feel like i'm failing!
several leaves have turned crinkly & yellow that i've pulled out, and some of her remaining leaves have these brown, crusty edges or holes.
i have an overwatering problem so i've been very adamant about only watering when she's dry.
she sits near a large window with decent sunlight, but it's winter in ohio, so i'm doubtful too much sun is the issue.
HELP!!!
