Evicted my 3.5m Monstera after losing the war to thrips. One last look before the Dutch winter takes it
My 5-year-old Monstera is 3.5 meters tall and takes up a quarter of my living room. I had to kick it out after the 6th thrips infestation. I spent a fortune on predatory mites.
I really didn't like doing this. But keeping it indoors was a big mental drain, a lot of work, and it overshadowed everything else. I immediately enjoyed my other plants much more.
This is in the Netherlands, it won't survive the winter here, but at least the world can enjoy it for a few more weeks.
