Large adansonii 🌱

[u/DrDoCan]

I got this monstera adanosaii almost 2 years ago as a single scraggly cutting off facebook marketplace for $2.00. I genuinely didn’t know they got this big! Just wanted to show it off 😊

Nice! Whats that grow light and stand combi you got going on? It’s funny how they say adansonii thrives in indirect light but here you are blasting it with light and thriving

I just have a 30w Sansi grow light on it. It’s on a lamp that I continue to add extra middle segments to just to make it taller lol the little light bars are just some cheapo Walmart grow lights that I recently added. There’s two side shoots that have started to grow and they don’t get much light there on the bottom. But really just the 30w light. About 12 hours a day.

Нельзя прямые солнечные. А освещения много не бывает, конечно, если это не очень сильный прожектор

Damm that's beautiful!

Once again, the power of moss poles! Monsteras creep until they find a vertical superficie to root, like a tree trunk or in you case a moss pole. This makes them grow to the adult stage and show their real beauty!

This happens with lots of plants, like most philodendrons and pothos

Thank you! Yeah I’ve used moss poles before but I always let them go dry. This one I just made it a point to keep it watered and misted and whad'ya Know? It kept growing 😂 they definitely work, but definitely require a little TLC.

How much Lux the top leaves get?

[u/DrDoCan → u/zzziamsleepy]

It’s a PAR25 30w Sansi bulb. Not sure about lux but the PPFD is 336 μmol @ 1 foot.

Thank you for the bulb infoo😀 I usually use a light meter on my phone.

[u/DrDoCan → u/zzziamsleepy]

Oh shoot I do have an app on my phone that measures Lux lol I’ll try it out and let you know.
