I have an albo. Ironically, when I first got into plants I never got the typical deliciosa. She’s doing fine, I’m just wondering what everyone’s monstera care tips are they’d wanna share with others:)

they LOVE bright indirect light! also they only like to be watered when fully dry. 🥲

SILICA!!!!!! With every watering. And she won’t get brown or scorched anymore!  
I’d also recommend a diy moss pole (not a coir pole) as it makes propagation so easy for my albo!

Silica? Is that a planting medium or a type of pot or fertilizer? I have a mini monstera. It was tiny 5 months ago. A little 4” stem and a couple leaves…..

If it ends up wilting check for any nodes with unhealthy aerial root stubs. This is a sign of over watering and you should either change the watering schedule or put the plant somewhere sunnier so the soil dries out faster
