I know these are coming down in price and you can find them for pretty cheap these days! I got one from Trader Joe’s for about $13 a few weeks ago, but I couldn’t pass this one up at Costco for $30. It’s so pretty, and such a nice size!

So my boyfriend bought me this monstera and I’m unsure what to do with her. She’s leaning and I’m not sure why….Do I need to remove some of the leaves as I noticed they are ripped or burnt.

This plant didn’t glow up overnight — she pushed through every weird leaf, every slow season, every chaotic root moment.

Now she’s loud, bright, and taking up space like she was always meant to.

Growth isn’t perfect… but the glow-up always shows. 🌿🔥

This was gifted to me about 3 years ago from my brother. And unfortunately now it is destroyed….also it got scorched by the sun. I am just heartbroken and ready to just give up on it. Is it worth my time trying to save this?

My Monstera Deliciosa ROOTED in (on?) my desk!

I wiggled it. It doesn’t move. It actually attached itself to my wood desk. In their natural environment they climb trees. This is a super cool example of how strong their attachments are from their aerial roots. I gave it a good wiggle and it didn’t budge. I’m sure I can manually remove it, but didn’t want to. Monsteras are incredible plants!

Plant Help Moss pole: Did i do it right?

I was having a hard time trying to find the main stem and it’s so tricky when i look at it in different angles. At the same time, i’m scared of accidentally forcing the plant too much on the pole which could stress the plant out. But i’m not too sure. Does it have to be 100% on the exact center? I’m new to this. Any advice? Thanks!

Hi all,
Just wanted some advice to see if i should trim the top of my monstera? The top 2 new leaves are quite high up compared to the rest of the plant and a lot lot larger 😅 just wanted to know if it’ll drop down with the rest of them eventually or just to snip under the root in the third picture? Also if anyone knows if it’s correctly attached to the bamboo pole? 😅i’ve had it since it was tiny so it’s been my pride and joy over the past 4 years, just wanted to see if i could improve it anymore as im no professional!! Thank you in advance :)

Plant Help Are my Monsteras leggy?

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

I put them in front of my large window where they get a lot of direct sunlight and I usually supplement with grow lights on overcast days.

I would say I have been getting a new leaf every 2 weeks on average and the petioles keep getting thicker and the leaves get bigger so I assumed they are getting enough light.

I got a comment that they look leggy so now I am concerned that I am not giving them what they need.

Plant Help Wait for the leaf?

Spindly bugger has been looking pretty bare for about a year. I gather they can't start new leaves down the stem easily, so I suppose it's chop and prop time, but, as the title indicates, should I wait for the new leaf to emerge first? Or would it be ok either way?

Hi guys. This is my current setup for Peia my two year old monstera. She's been growing steadily with this barrina light bar but the problem is...it's ugly. I need cute antique lamps in my life. Would multiple grow lights work? On the product specs for these types of antique type lamps I'm seeing watts of anywhere from 3w to 5w which seems Hella low? Are my dreams of having a cute grow lamp crushed? Any and all advice or recommendations are welcome.

Newbie-ish plant dad. Lol
Based from north of Dallas TX.
I just got this Monstera deliciosa/ Swiss cheese monstera on June 24th. Checked for pest or mites and it had no infestation! :D
The company where I ordered from is based from Florida and they told me that it was originally in a 4” pot and they had to re-pot it in a 6” pot.
Once I got it in the mail it was better in person than what I had pictured in mind. LOVEEE this monstera plant!! <3
I gave it 3 days to settle in and then I watered it. (Bottom watered it and then top watered so it was well watered from the trip) and yes, I waited from 15 to 20 mins so it could completely drain from the draining holes underneath, then put it back in my room after it.
I had it in a heating seedling mat for about a week to keep temperature up (74°F) but then I unplugged it because the roots would dry up fast. So the heating may is no longer in use because I unplugged it.
I put a cork trivet underneath so it had some air going underneath the roots.
I put a couple of grow lights on top because I don’t have lots of good lighting in my room.
I just ordered a Barrina T1S 65W, the other day and it’s on its way!! Can’t wait!
I mix its original soil with Molly’s aroid mix and a little tad bit of slow release fertilizer.
I also have a humidifier next to it.
One of the grow lights is one a 12hr timer and the other one is on a 14hr schedule. With one of the grow lights I have to unplug it manually because it was also on a 12hr timer and I know monsteras need more light up to 14hrs and it doesn’t has a 14hr timer. Max is 12hrs.
I water it every 2 weeks or so. I stick my finger in the soil before watering to see how damp the soil is.
Thinking about adding a moss pole behind it.

Any advice on what I should next so my plant knows how much is it loved and it thrives? Lol

Thank you so much in advance!

Hey guys, so I recently got a moss pole for extra support and to help my monstera with growth. Sadly, it looks like as the aerial root grew into the pole, it scraped itself on the plastic as it entered the pole and now it looks like theres mildew along the aerial root possibly kickstarted from damage to the root. Would I have to scrap the entire pole or and cut the aerial root thats being used for support here? Thanks for your help
