# I’m going to get yet another new plant this week. I have this shelf…

_Posted by happysoxdonkey on 2025-07-30_

I’m going to get yet another new plant this week. I have this shelf available so it could be something with a little bit of height. I was considering a pin-stripe calathea, a palm, or maybe a small monstera. If it is a monstera I could move it once it gets too big. What do you think I should get?

It’s an eastern facing window and my plants have done very well here.

It looks like it would be a bit too low light for a monstera being on the lower part of your stand. But I think any of those would look great. Love all your plants!

Thank you! The money tree used to be on that shelf and did really well. I could put it back there and maybe put something there instead (where the money tree is in the picture). I don’t think that would be a good place for a monstera though also since they get so big. I wish I had a nice spot for a large plant because I really want one.

Monsteras take a long time to get big. You could always get a baby 4 inch monstera and then deal with it in a couple years lol. That’s probably what I would do.
