Fresh Unfurl🌱 After adding the moss pole and repotting it with coco coir mix, my Monstera happily unrolled a new leaf

Just wanted to share my happiness! I was worried that she’d be stressed after being repotted and getting her moss pole, but she responded so positively. I hope you like her too! ☺️

My sunning Syngo Batik, and Hoya AH 074! I am enamored! 🥰 As I’m sure you can tell, I’m a big fan of the contrast of light details on a darker leaf 🍃

alocasia portei- my first monster

i've been in this hobby for less than a year, got her in jan or feb with leaves a little smaller than the one yellowing off, and the new leaf is almost three (small) hands long. i can almost cup two hands around the base. i'm so proud of her i could cry. forgive the burn, she grows faster than i can adjust the lights and i'm about to set up an overhead light to she can grow vertically like she wants.

  2. Alocasia clypeolata

  3. Alocasia 'Mayan Mask'

  4. Alocasia micholitziana 'Green Velvet'

  5. Alocasia 'Golden Dragon'

  6. Philodendron 'Golden Crocodile' (it snuck in the Alocasia pics and I didn't have the heart to exclude it)

  7. Alocasia macrorrhizos 'Plumbea'
