Hi, I got this Thai monstera off marketplace 2 weeks ago. Not sure when it was last watered.
Noticed some things in the leafs and how some are curling. Any advice will help. This is my first monstera!
Ever since I got her a few months ago she had made two beautiful leaves and I couldn’t be happier!!
Rescued this Thai Con from Costco a few months ago and I finally got a new leaf!!
My cousin saw this plant and sent a video and I immediately called her ! I’ve been wanting to get my hands on a Thai (I do have two other albos) for foreverrrrrr. She hasn’t brought her to me yet, but I figured I ask you guys :) I plan to repot is completely clean dirt when I do receive and acclimate her
My Thai Constellation keeps developing rot and had an additional growth point. That node also has a small aerial root. I cut the growth point away from the main plant, which still has the remaining roots sitting in water. I only removed the small section to minimize stress and avoid shocking the main plant too much.
After cutting it, I applied diluted H₂O₂ to the cut surface using a cotton swab and let it dry completely.
I then placed the cutting in a medicine cap with four LECA balls and a very small amount of water, mainly to maintain moisture around the aerial root.
There doesn’t appear to be any active rot, but the node itself looks somewhat shrivelled.
Is this still salvageable?
Hello everyone!
So I bought a Thai monstera a while back. (Never repotted it/check it, my mistake). When I first purchased it, it only had a few leaves with black spots, I cut it off the infected leaves and let it be and MONTHS later, never got a new leaf.
I started seeing the black spots again about a month or 2 ago, so I checked for root rot/soil, and sure enough the potting soil used was not at all a chunky soil mix so tada root rot.
Cut off the infected roots, cleaned it and put it in a vase with leca clay pebbles and water with some monstera plant food.
Within a few weeks of the repot, 2 new leaves!! Yay! (Last photo is the 2 leaves that sprouted). I was so happy to see new leaves, with no black spots. Weird thing is the second leaf is HUGE compared to the previous one, but no fenestrations.
Today I decided to repot it in soil with a clear pot (60% perlite and 40% potting soil and some small rocks between), and cut off some of the older leaves.
Any recommendations on what to do next, or maybe something I missed? Asides from watering and sunlight of course. This is my first Thai monstera, I’ve only ever had monstera deliciosa and I didn’t realize how different Thai are taken care of. Any advice on how to care for them going forward would also be helpful!
my thai con has finally put out a leaf with a perforation. exciting!
Sister gave me this Thai Con she got at Trader Joe’s awhile back to rescue. Seems to have gotten sunburnt, no pests from what I saw (besides a few fungus gnats), but also seems to have a lot of potential?
Where should I begin? Should I cut the burnt parts? Whole leaves? Soil change?
I have another baby Thai Con that is doing well in my shaded patio so I’m open to experimenting with this one. I also have some Leca & moss laying around that I’m curious about.
My monstera Thai constellation was doing just fine but then it began to be brown on the borders,
It's the second time it's happening, i don't know what is wrong, (the first time I was in another place and it was under a grow light)
For info the brown part is not crispy on most of the leaves,
It's in front of a south window, but it had grown 3 leaves in front of this window without any problem,
I bottom water when the top part of the soil is dry,
Please help me
Selling this huge monstera to make space for my other plant.
Newest leaves is 86 cm. No brown leaves, super consistent variegation.
Check out my last post for more pictures.
$250 pot and moss pole include
pick up only, in Cambridge MA
Any tips is greatly appreciated! and i already got a slightly larger pot with drainage holes and some chunky soil mixture and i know they need a pole to “climb”
So i got my first deliciosa a month ago from Ikea and it’s doing well with a new leaf popping up. There was a sale so I got 2 baby thai cons and 1 aurea for 35 bucks.
Any tips? Should I repot them with aroid mix? I got my first deliciosa from Ikea and havent repotted them, but I got these 3 from a plant farm so I’m not sure. Plus these have no fenestrations either, so do I give more sunlight?
Any differences in watering? Light? Fertilizer?
For context, my building doesn’t get a lot of light even with a west facing window. Indirect light maybe but direct sunlight only lasts for around 1-2 hours, so I use a 50W grow light for cloudy days.
Lately, I was reading some posts on Reddit about houseplants and ended up on this page. That is how I recently came across the Thai Con for the very first time.
Yesterday, I went to a garden center and guess what: not only did I see this plant in person for the first time, but it was also on sale. Lucky me!
My plan: I will let it acclimatize for a week before repotting it into a clear pot with drainage holes. I have perlite and regular potting soil and want to do a 50/50 mix. I read that it is best to add some tree bark for extra airiness? I also ordered a moss pole and dry moss (no experience with it).
Should I divide the plant, or does it look good as it is?
She is currently sitting 2 meters away from a west-facing window.
She’s also standing close to a sansevieria, a monstera of roughly the same size, and a large ficus lyrata (is this enough humidity?).
Of course, I want to give this plant the best possible chance to grow. Do you have any additional tips for me? Thank you!
I dont have any more space otherwise i wouldve snagged this baby up. It was HUGEEEE (Momo photocard for size reference).
I got this beauty a few months ago off Facebook marketplace. She came cut up as you can see on some of the older lower leaves. My guess would be pest problems. I quarantined and treated and such even without finding any pests. Second picture is the first leaf it birthed in my care, the rest are pictures of the new leaf it just recently put out. It used to be over a vent, but it didn’t bother the first leaf. This new leaf came out quickly, crispy on the edges and concerning. I checked and thought I might have seen thrips, so I treated (with neem oil, peppermint Castile soap, and alcohol water mix) and wipes all the leaves. I also treated every plant in the room just in case. Everyone got a bath with treatment. I have checked every day since and treated everybody at least every other day for a week now, and see no evidence of pests or anything. Did she just dry out?? Not enough humidity?? I would say I’m an underwaterer bc Thai Cons are more prone to root rot than my other monsteras. Did she just go unwatered for too long?? I watered her a few days ago so she’s looking juicy now but what’s up with the leaf?? Sorry for so much info, thanks for reading lol
