The 6 year old monstera I rescued from my work. It was in a super bright dealership show room and definitely acclimated to direct sun over the years, dry as a bone, no drainage pot but surprisingly healthy! I worked there for 5 years and I didn’t even know it was there 😢

Update: it’s been a week and she is not happy. But I suspect that repot was a shock, and it’s her old leaves shedding.
