This Maleficent aka big mama.Her newest leaf has finally hardened off completely and is starting to lift up, so I can finally compare it properly with the previous leaf.
I’m loving how much the fenestration pattern is developing. The newest leaf seems to have a little more going on with the internal fenestrations, and she’s getting that gorgeous mature Monstera look I’ve been waiting for. 😭
How's your new leaf progression going?
New leaf in development 😍. I call him
The Emperor 👑
My Monstera new leaf just keeps getting bigger and bigger I feel is gonna snap from the plant 😂... I'm obsessed with it 😍
She's been one of the fastest-growing plants in my collection here in South Florida. Every time I think she's done, another leaf starts emerging. Four leaves in one month and is already making a new one. She has been with me for like 6 years. Definitely the queen of my patio. The last leave is massive.
Big Mama aka Maleficent finally decided to release the leaf she had been holding hostage for what felt like forever.( Like 3 weeks) 😂
She took her sweet time unfurling this one, and I kept checking every day wondering if she'd ever let it go. But I have to admit, she made it worth the wait.The funniest part? Before this leaf has even finished hardening off, she's already pushing another spear.She's also still refusing to attach to the moss pole and continues to do things entirely on her own terms.Anyone else have a Monstera that likes to keep leaves imprisoned before revealing them to the world?
This my Philodendron spiritus-sancti, affectionately nicknamed "The Templar."
I acquired him a few weeks ago as a small plant and immediately set him up on a custom Templar-themed moss pole. Since then, I've mostly been trying to follow the golden rule with spiritus-sancti: be patient and don't overdo things.
Progress so far:
✅ Successfully acclimated.
✅ Produced a new leaf shortly after arrival.
✅ Began producing aerial roots two aerial root
The interesting part 🤔
I've noticed another rounded bump at the node, right where the petiole joins the stem. It almost looked like something is trying to emerge. Today is more out. I thought it was new leaf but I don't think so. Is this a new growth point?
Either way, The Templar has definitely woken up and seems happy, so I'm excited to see where he goes from here. I'm just curious of what it could be
I've been calling this Monstera "Big Mama" because she's been holding onto a new leaf for what felt like forever.
Looking back at the progression though, she's been quietly upgrading herself. Every leaf has more fenestrations than the last.
The crazy part is she still hasn't committed to the moss pole, but she keeps putting out more mature growth.
Here's her glow-up so far. Hopefully the next leaf is even crazier. 🤞
Cruella's newest leaf finally unfurled. 🤍💚
Loving the balanced variegation and the little green marbling in the white sections.
I've had this Monstera Albo since the end of April and she already gave me two leaf. Still a small plant, but she's already giving me some stunning leaves. 🌿
I just had to share the latest leaf on my Thai Constellation, Andrómeda. She took her sweet time cooking this one in the South Florida heat, but the expansion phase did not disappoint. I am absolutely in love with that massive, creamy block on the left side and those gorgeous inner fenestrations! Compare to her last leaf to now, the growth is Crazyyy 😍.
She traveled all the way from Ecuador to South Florida and arrived safely. She was smaller than I expected, but the roots were healthy and active, so I'm feeling optimistic about her future.
I potted her up and found her a temporary home in this little face planter while she settles in.I was between this two face pot but I like the butterfly 🦋 better.
I've officially nicknamed her "The Queeny." 👑🌿
Any fellow wendlingeri growers have tips, care advice, or progress photos to share?
This beuty opened today and she is just gorgeous. I'm not a pink fan but this is another level.
Got me this beauty 😍.. I got delivered today. I'm obsessed with the two tones leaves... I decorate it a pot for her to feel like a rune jungle vibes.
Hello I'm new to this plant family. My friend gifted me a philodendron spiritus-sancti. I got it delivered today and she is gorgeous. Since no experience with this plants I would like any tips you guys can give me. I have Alocasias, Mosteras and Anthurium. I live in Miami and I'm trying to keep this plant outside with the other.
My little babies growing so much. Trying to make my little paradise 🪴😍
