My monstera is doing so much better this year. The older picture is from August last year. It’s growing fast with the weekly thunderstorms, getting lots of rain water plus heat. The next step is to put it on a climbing pole.

Lovely \& exciting progress!! Eyeing your beautiful oxalis too 🤩

Thanks! I highly recommend purple oxalis to everyone! That one has been in the same pot for about 10 years, if I remember correctly. I put a little bit of cow manure on top of the soil each spring. It loves full sun. ☀️

Cutie!! So fun to see the progress

Thank you! It’s come a long way since that major freeze in 2023. I’m afraid to change the soil it’s been in for many many years. I think lizards, snails, frogs and mosquitoes are nourishing it! 😂
