Any tips or tricks on keeping her happy would be appreciated! What type of sun should she be getting? Watering? I’m a newbie to monsteras in general, and I was gifted 5 different ones. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/cb6ynU8aio__rHDgFrLhRpBR1mTLn-LAkEcYVh_uqb0/a88dad99f87544158e07d6040f874c87.webp?size=large) ## 9개의 댓글 ### Molly 🪴님이 2023-12-26에 댓글을 남겼어요. You were gifted 5 different monsteras?! 😍😍 my family should take notes lol #### Brittni님이 2023-12-26에 답변했습니다. Well, the long story is - my husband and I bought our first home this spring. When we were in the moving process - our apartment complex let painters into our apartment 2 weeks too early, and they destroyed everything left in the apartment - which was my entire plant collection. I wasn’t able to salvage anything 🥹 I picked up all 50 empty pots and just cried. I was given a gift card to a plant nursery for the mistake but we all know that it doesn’t come close to the amount of money and love and years of work I put into those plants. So I just didn’t get any more house plants, but my mom surprised me with an entire new collection for Christmas. Over 30 different plants - some were babies of my original plants I had gifted her over the years. One of the most thoughtful and heartfelt gifts I’ve ever received. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/cb6ynU8aio__rHDgFrLhRpBR1mTLn-LAkEcYVh_uqb0/9af24430e42e4d5498b62fd661dcc58b.webp?size=large) #### Beth님이 2023-12-26에 답변했습니다. Oh my gods, I would be devastated and inconsolably angry if anyone messed with my plant collection. Hopefully the gift card to the nursery was enough to cover all the damages. I know I've got a few plants in my collection that just can't be replaced. What an awesome mom you have too #### Molly 🪴님이 2023-12-26에 답변했습니다. I would’ve been heartbroken. We put so much time, work, money, and love into our plants. They’re not something that can just be replicated. It’s so wonderful that your family did that for you 🩷🪴 I hope your new collection can bring you the joy you deserve this holiday season #### Brittni님이 2023-12-26에 답변했습니다. To say I was devastated would be an understatement, but I was so defeated I didn’t want to start over. The gift card was a nice sentiment, but it didn’t even begin to cover the damages. But I was able to get plants for the flowerbed at our new home. #### Brittni님이 2023-12-26에 답변했습니다. So much time and love. But this new collection really sparked my joy all over again ### Shamana님이 2023-12-26에 댓글을 남겼어요. I love your mom. #### Brittni님이 2023-12-26에 답변했습니다. She is truly the greatest ### Richard님이 2023-12-27에 댓글을 남겼어요. With my Albo, I keep it in a north facing window. It’s pretty big (12” pot) and gets about 2 cup of water every two weeks or so. These plants are really easy to care for and don’t require a lot of particulars. I will wipe down the leaves with a wet clean cloth every couple of months. And I rotate the pot a quarter turn every two months. Underwater is ok. Overwater will show you lots of bad symptoms. You’ll want a decent moss pole pretty quickly. They grow pretty fast. The more stable the upper leaves the better it will produce fenestration and variegation (at least that’s what I’ve heard, my new leaves are very variegated but not much fenestration.) --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
