Thanks x ## 11개의 댓글 ### Pierce님이 2024-01-29에 댓글을 남겼어요. I feel like it was the same as my normal one. Haven’t really had any issues ### Mallory S님이 2024-01-29에 댓글을 남겼어요. Same here I got a Thai before I ever got a regular monstera and have had no problems other than they do sunburn a little easier ### DeeDee님이 2024-01-29에 댓글을 남겼어요. I have heard that Thai’s are more prone to root rot due to the tissue culture from the mother plant. There are some good videos on this on YouTube. I have mine in a really chunky aroid mix and a clear pot so I can keep an eye on the roots. So far, so good! These are definitely plants that you don’t want to overwater. ### Mullein님이 2024-01-30에 댓글을 남겼어요. I haven’t had any issues with mine, but I have heard people complain about really bad root rot. That might be a watering problem, or a bad batch of tissue culture. I don’t know for sure, but I don’t think I got anything special when it comes to a good or bad batch 🤷 DeeDee’s suggestions for a chunky soil and clear pot are great tips. Letting it dry out more that the average tropical is my tip. They have very robust roots, so they can handle a little more drought that some people think (but not as much as a succulent or cactus). Basically, err on the side of dry to avoid root rot ### Beth님이 2024-01-30에 댓글을 남겼어요. I actually have more issues with my regular monsteras than I do my Thai. My Thai is a fantastic grower and has put on new beautiful leaves for me monthly this winter. My monsteras have been growing much more slowly ### ashten님이 2024-01-30에 댓글을 남겼어요. Unsolicited advice, but another thing to consider is that the thai constellation market is dropping in price pretty quickly right now. If you hold out until they’re in big box stores or your local nursery, you could get it at a much lower price point. I live in somewhat rural Canada, and recently we’ve been getting thai constellation shipments to a local grocery store chain for $20CAD/each (\<$20USD). Mine is attached, ignore the leaf cut, the worker ripped the leaf while packaging it 🥲. If you want to save a buck and still get a beautiful plant, that you’re not as worried about in case it goes downhill. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/uqffajx2xgQTpMdu4WNvYn2cIIvIsNL7hQhiHN_ELXE/kILs2fskSIWcLpxZAXOdtw.webp?size=large) #### Mullein님이 2024-01-30에 답변했습니다. Grocery store Thai cons?? 😱 Talk about the end of an era lol. Great white sectioning on yours too!! Lovely I’m surprised Canada is getting really cheap really common to find ones first lol. Just thinking of the cold and all 😂 But I think technically, depending where in Canada a person is, they might have better weather than I do here in New Hampshire, US. And it reality, there’s probably more of a business reason than a weather reason, I just don’t know what it is. Anyways, enjoy that beauty! What a steal #### ashten님이 2024-01-31에 답변했습니다. yes i’m quite pleased with mine! i actually got a small, less variegated one this past fall for $20 from a rare plant shop. maybe i’ll have more satisfaction from it since i’ve grown it since it was a baby. but yes someone told me that now only plant sellers in canada are jumping onto the $20 thai constellation craze, so maybe it will hit the us soon. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/uqffajx2xgQTpMdu4WNvYn2cIIvIsNL7hQhiHN_ELXE/DaP_0GyRRuGZUEX3HIhfVg.webp?size=large) #### ashten님이 2024-01-31에 답변했습니다. here’s the og baby thai ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/uqffajx2xgQTpMdu4WNvYn2cIIvIsNL7hQhiHN_ELXE/OUloOvwuQLqQJfd7vgtGxg.webp?size=large) #### ashten님이 2024-01-31에 답변했습니다. converted her into leca and she’s just hardening off her newest leaf ### mushroombookgirl님이 2024-01-30에 댓글을 남겼어요.
