# Seeking advice!! I just bought this monstera albo node off of…

Seeking advice!!

I just bought this monstera albo node off of Palmstreet for $33. I’ve been wanting an albo for ages and I’m super excited to receive this fella and try to get it to grow. I could have started with an already established plant, especially since I don’t have much experience with caring for nodes, but I didn’t want to spend a fortune on an albo just in case it dies. So while this cutie isn’t here yet, I’d really appreciate some advice so I can start out on the right foot once it arrives!

Keep the spaghnum moss wet , not soaking wet though. Put it in some bright light and put a dome on top of the cup for humidity. Or a clear plastic bag on the top. Then have patience. Good luck. I hope it works for you..

try Facebook marketplace next time! albo wet sticks go for $10-20 where I am 💓

Yes, it needs to go into full humidity. I use mason jars because they work great.
