Spray the leaves to keep them shiny with water. It also helps the plant grow

What kind is it? I’d like to buy one with the light pink stems but not sure what they’re called. A see one stem is pink. Do they all get that way?

I think what you’re seeing is a bamboo stick to help keep the plant upright?

#### JustJess replied on 2024-05-01

Haha! Makes sense 😂

Sadly! I’d love one with pink stems tbh. Have you seen a Pink Princess philodendron? They are delightfully pink.

Oooh, no but I’ll definitely check it out! I was at a tea shop the other day and saw what I thought might be a Montsera with light pink, almost translucent stems and I forgot to lookup what it was. I’ll have to look into the Pink Princess Philodendron…thank you so much!

It’s a monstera deliciousa! The pink thing you see is a bamboo pole, I hope you find the plant you are looking for!

Plenty of light and good humidity - I use a humidifier as well are drrry but if your home is decent, a humidity tray and spraying (with filtered water) would work.
