# I purchased my first ever indoor plant. I had no idea what I was…

_Posted by Kya’s Plant Life 🪴 on 2026-05-25_

I purchased my first ever indoor plant. I had no idea what I was doing. I selected a monstera deliciosa. I’ve never owned one in my life. Since it’s been home I’ve provided it with its first watering, and close attention and observation and pretty much have left it alone otherwise. It’s been 9 days now. She has had three new leaves unfurl and all have carried fenestrations. Here is how she looks.
