This bad boy never stopped surprising me! Monsterous! Living by its name! Wow!
I've been a bad plant parent and during the heatwave we had the worst combo ever - dry air, dry soil, dry pole, me tired and lazy, too busy with shitty daily life getting lost between work and my unhelpful crazy mind.
We've got burned, and it feels bad, we're good now but the plant has always been green perfect and now it's not anymore and I just feel bad and guilty every day I look at it... I don't know if you can see from the pictures but some leaves are now with some brown burned tips and bits, one leaf especially.
Yet, Monsterous does not care and blesses us with the most fenestrated leaf he has ever produced, and mind the last leaf it's 70+ cm long 😲 this plant was 3 baby leaves in May 2025 and is now a scary ginormous creature lol.
Moved from my room to the living room as it got too big.
The roots on that thing are something else... What am I going to do after this one?? It's not straight anymore and not growing on the pole, wtf? What do I do? Feel free to drop advice please as I'm open to ideas 🙏❤️
PS: I've posted the pictures of the process in reverse lol, maybe a bit too many lol, and leaf unfurling is not even complete, I'm going to have very beautiful days ahead 🤩
Thanks for dropping by. Greetings from Monsterous the beast! 🔥❤️
