# Help! I’m freaking out and I am so excited! My husband got me some…

_Publicado por Mon el 2024-04-30_

Help!  
I’m freaking out and I am so excited! My husband got me some Monstera Albo cuttings from Ebay. They just arrived today, all the way from SirLanka (I’m in the US) They look ok, they were in a plastic bag with some coconut coir, and plenty of moisture. They have some roots. What do I do now to avoid shock, etc. I REALLY want them to grow and thrive 😣

Wow, that’s a journey! Well good thing they made it this far. Are you able to show me some pictures so I can get a better idea of what you’re working with?

This is what they look like now. I placed them on orchid mix (bark, perlite and charcoal) without drainage and covered them up to maintain the humidity they where in on their way here. My plan is to slowly lower the humidity levels so they don’t rot. Also using distilled water. I’m babying them like crazy 😅
