r/Monstera

I have brought this monstera back to life over the winter and was so proud, last month just got my first new leaf with a fenestration.

When I bought it I didn’t have it in the right soil mix so thought once it turned to spring I’d repot it in a (slightly) larger pot with a chunky soil mix. I did this and it looks awful now. What did I do. Is she doomed? I could cry 😭

I bought this baby monstera albo about a month ago and today as I was taking some cuttings from my marble queen pothos, I realized just how similar they look. I'm aware thaf monstera and pothos are very closely related, but I want to be sure I didnt spend $45 on a mislabeled plant... they look so similar! The pothos is a little more yellow in variegation like an aurea monstera. Do I just have to wait until it matures? thanks in advance!! Albo tax at the end lol

Cut the bottom half of my moss pole three months ago. In those three months the cuttings altogether shot out TWELVE leaves. 100% success rate and every node had an established root system. My plan to live in a monstera albo jungle is coming along nicely. 😂 (Don’t mind the empty poles, I ran out of moss okay!!) 😅

I’m just annoyed. I was really hoping I would luck out and get my own Thai for $15 today. They were sold out. Fair- I waited a little long since hearing the news, but I was finally in the area and had some time. Oh well, so I decided to buy a couple other plants from a seller I’ve been looking at. Started scrolling the feed before messaging them and saw THIS … like seriously? Go ahead block me, because you know I’m right and I’m not afraid to call you out. I would never want to do business with some shady gatekeeping dh like that. Idk sure cool you’re about that money but you’re not a good person.

Anyways I got myself a few much nicer plants for the same price as the Thais should’ve been. Suck it Lei Wang. I hope everyone sees right through you.
Sorry for the negativity. Am I the only one who thinks this is messed up?

I got all of these for $60 because the cashier was ready to go home and scanned my Thai three times.

I've been growing these Monstera Thai Constellation (named Orion) and Deliciosas (Greta) for a year now and I'm not sure what to do next. Recently I tied them to a garden stakes and my leaves are getting huge! Orion's latest leaf (top right) is bigger than my head. haha. 🤗

My challenge is what to do next. Like I want it to keep getting bigger and bigger leaves, but I feel like the leaves are getting wrapped in each other and starting to look kinda unkempt(?).

I was reading in this reddit to chop and prop, but all my nodes are literally at the base of the plant. To try that would essentially decapitate the thing.

IDK and I'm stuck. This is my first monstera. I think I got the growing part down. Now I want to try to figure out how to keep a monstera looking aesthetically pleasing. Thanks for any suggestions!

Two bottom leaves are yellowing I’m assuming overwatering, but I was following a schedule and it seemed to be happy for months… I’ve bee holding off on water now. It sits off to the side 2 feet from a west facing window and also has two barina grow lights along the wall about 2 feet way. Should I just keep holding off on water? It’s rooting all the way up into the moss pole and seems fine. Not sure why it seems to be so wet. Should I keep it out of its pot and have it in its clear grow pot? I usually have it inside this large clay pot, possibly not letting it dry out enough??

Hello Monstera experts!

I was gifted a monstera five years ago and it grew from three small leaves to 18 leaves, and a month ago, I finally was forced to propagate

I’ve had these two clippings in water for about five weeks and was shocked to see how many roots have already grown

Are these ready to plant?

What type of pot do you recommend?

I’ve seen a variety of soil suggestions, I am going to the garden store and wanted to ask if you all have favorite recommendations for what type of soil to start a new planting

Thank you!!

New leaf over the last week 😊🌱🙏🏼 almost ready to unfurl

Hello! This is my current set up, I previously had it by a window but seems like it wasn’t getting enough sun so I moved it inside with some grow lights that I already had! I feel like I need a better light to go straight up and overhead to get better coverage? Any Amazon recommendations on which one? There are SO MANY on there 🥲

So I bought this beauty from Home depot last year. It was labeled as a monstera Thai Constellation but I feel like it's highly varigated, could it be something else?

Last year battled thrips. Now after recovery… a new day has dawned!! Pretty new leaf. Thai Con

I rescued this Monstera from my grandpas gf a few days ago and this is my first time ever handling a monstera. It is apparently 9 years old!!

Now I’ve been doing soft research on monsteras for a little while since I’ve been wanting to get one for a while so I know this poor plant needs love to thrive and jumped on the opportunity to save this lil guy.

Any advice and tips are very welcome!!

This is my first monstera, it’s been putting out new leaves & the most recent (pictured 2nd) is not looking the greatest in my opinion, I don’t know if this is normal or if it’ll darken & firm over time, but another leaf that’s being put out is the same color, I’m assuming the colors fine, but more worried about the limpness of the leaf, any advice at all is greatly appreciated! :)

I gave this Monstera to my dad (who is usually a damn plant whisperer so this is mind boggling to me) a few months ago and he sent me this image of it today. Is he giving it to much light? Not enough light? To much water? Not enough water? Anybody have any ideas? This was a gorgeous plant when I gave it to him.
