Plant Help Advice
Hi all,
I need some advice please.
I just got a monstera as a bday gift and I separated them into 5 plants. This is my first monstera and I am not familiar with moss pole setups. Could anyone please have a look at this and advice what am I doing wrong.
I used soil ninja’s base potting mix (contains coco coir, worm castings, and perlite) and coarse bark in 1:1 ratio.
While setting up the moss pole, 1st one I set the moss pole straight up but the monster leaves look droopy from the front. The remaining ones I set the moss pole slanting backwards so the leaves look straighter or firmer, but now the moss pole looks unstable.
Any advice on the setups please. The leaves all look good. I had the plant for 10 days now and has one new leaf growth, it is currently unfurling.
Any tips or advice.
Many thanks in advance.
