# Hello! I’ve had my albo for over 2 months now with no growth signs.…

_Lagt ut av Kristen den 2024-07-11_

Hello! I’ve had my albo for over 2 months now with no growth signs. You can see where the new leaf will eventually come out, but it hasn’t changed all this time. The bottom leaves hang quite a bit. Gets lots of indirect filtered sunlight. Not over watering whatsoever. Are these just very slow growers or am I doing something wrong here ☹️

Is this the same as a Philodendron “White Wizard”?

#### Riley svarte den 2024-07-11

This is an albo monstera, which is different

#### Cait2k3 svarte den 2024-07-11

Oh thanks!

Monstera deliciosa can definitely stop growing leaves at times. I’ve noticed that mine always stop working on new leaves every I repot them. I think it’s because the plant is redirecting growth focus to the roots now that there’s more room for them to fill out

I assume that you put it in this pot when you got it? Typically mine take about 1-3 months before it resumes leaf growth. So you should be seeing progress again soon. How big was the original pot when first you got it?

#### Kristen svarte den 2024-07-11

You are exactly right! This is the pot it was originally in:

It was in regular potting soil as well, which was very very saturated with water

#### Mullein svarte den 2024-07-11

Aha! 😂 So my theory stands that you’re getting close to seeing that leaf finally push out! I’m rooting for you and the plant ☺️ Good call on changing the pot and soil. Sooooo much better than what it came in! Definitely suitable for such a gorgeously variegated albo

Fertilize fertilize man! These monstera need fertilizer to grow lots of leaves. I use happy house plants fertilizer in every watering. I have also been adding a tsp of silica for the white leaves to keep the white happy and well, white.

#### Kristen svarte den 2024-07-11

Where do you typically order it from and how much you use while watering?

#### Peijb svarte den 2024-07-12

I get it directly for the happyhappyhouseplant website. It has a dropper in the bottle that is awesome and I put in the directed amount - 1ml for 1 gallon of water - with every watering. It has been an absolute game changer. My plants are all growing like crazy and really pest resistant- no infestation here. Love this stuff. For the silica I put 1tsp per gallon of water + the happy house plant food and water all my white leaf variegated plants with that mix.

#### Kristen svarte den 2024-07-12

Thank you! This one?

Yes!!

It’s just focusing on happy roots which is exactly what you want!! I’ve had my Billie for months now and it’s FINALLY pushing a new leaf and fast! 😍 I use arber plant food!
