I need some advice ya'll...I got my Monkey Face Monstera about 2 years ago. I lived in a condo that didn't have great light but she did ok, just very stringy. We've recently moved into a house that has a beautiful ledge near a west facing transom window, and after the move I noticed that some of the vibes were looking a little rough. Her main stem also got pulled out of the soil a little on accident and I'm afraid it may have broken from the root system. I'm going to repot her, but do you think I should trim her vines and kinda start over? She's growing new leaves, but she's just struggling...TIA!

Monstera Strong 💪🏻 Meet Mike Wizowski the monster Monstera. I acquired Mike April 6th. This was my first plant and it has been an amazing 5 month experience! Mike is halfway up a 3ft trellis by next year I am hoping he will bee 6-7ft tall! Now I have 20 plants and they are all doing very well.

I have a Monstera that has huge aerial roots. I’ve heard to put the end of them back in the dirt, I’ve heard to put the ends in water, I’ve heard to cut them off to get more leaves to grow, and I’ve heard to just leave them alone. my Monstera is out of control, because I did not know when I got her that she is a climber…now she’s a wanderer. I put the pool noodle on the edge of the pot so it wouldn’t make marks in her stem. So what do I do with the aerial roots and how do I get her to start climbing without hurting her massive stems? I’m scared to propagate her because I’m just a beginner at this. She seems happy. I just don’t want her to die. She’s my favorite plant!

Hey everyone, I have this HUGE and I mean HUGE monstera and I have no clue what to do with it. It seems to just keep growing no matter what, I see new leaves almost every week. I’m not sure if I should just let it be or try to separate it into smaller ones??? No worries this monstera just got a well needed watering and is perking up like always!

I’m trying to save her. I took it out of soil and washed roots really well even a little peroxide. Roots still look bad. What should I do? Root rot?

I bought this plant off Marketplace a few days ago. Yesterday while repotting it I noticed one of the stems was notched and one was bent 90 degrees. Should these be cut off or will they be okay? Also, anything I can do for such a bare lower half? Ignore the pole in the front, waiting on a moss pole to stabilize this properly.

Hello - this is a general question. I bought a neem oil but I’m a little scared to use it. Should I be? 😅 What is the measurement to use and how often? I google it but I’m not that comfortable. Can someone educate me about how to use neem oil please? I appreciate you.

Well, I repotted my sick monstera 4 days ago and found out that It was two different ones potted together, this one had some brown mooshy roots so I cut those off and repotted it separately. Now the leaves are turning a light green/yellow again. I haven’t even watered it regularly sinse, the most it got was a small cup of water and a mist. I feel like giving up on this one atp 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

What’s wrong with my monstera?? I feel like I’m not having luck with it 😭 it’s in front of a west facing window. It’s in tropical soil from local plant shop so it should be legit and not like miracle grow soil. I had a leaf grow in dead. This new leaf grew in but with lighter brown spots. And the two darker original leaves seem to have something going on with them too. (The little leaves under the light green new leaf are actually fake lol) Please help any advice! This was a gift from a friend and I want to do well with it because they said their monstera was growing crazy and needed to trim and cut it down so I got a piece of it with roots in tact but I feel like I just can’t seem to do it justice 😔

Just picked up my first monstera! Two of the leaves were just starting to fenestrate when I got it earlier today. Any advice for this baby or any clue how long I should expect some more prominent fenestrations to appear?

Variegated monstera experts! Help a girl out!! My newly adopted aurea has 4 gorgeous, fenestrated leaves, and was decently rooted when I got her. She arrived in damp sphagnum and I left her as-is for 2 weeks before I moved her to a chunky aroid mix w/ Bonide systemic granules mixed in for pest prevention. She was extra droopy, so I checked out the roots and most had rotted!! I don’t think that was the case when she came. I chopped everything off the aerial roots, did a diluted hydrogen peroxide rinse, & put the aerial roots in a mixture of fluval stratum and pumice because I have CONSTANT issues with monstera stems/nodes rotting in any kind of soil-like substrate. I also have her sideways, roots down to minimize contact with the stem. QUESTIONS - did I add too much systemic.. maybe that destroyed the roots? Would you do or position anything differently? And are the aerial roots deep enough in this position/how often would you water? Thanks in advance 🥲

One of my Thai cons is giving me albo vibes and I’m not upset about it 🤩🤍💚

My monstera is getting very tall. My next step is to make a hole in the ceiling! Seriously, should I cut, prop in the same pot? Where do I cut and how do I deal with the long roots (?) embedded in the moss pole? There is new growth at the top and about ⅓ of the way up. I do not think it is root bound as of yet. Thank you 🙏!

Should I repot my mini monstera? It’s getting very long and the moss pole is wobbly making me wonder if I need a deeper pot to hold it up. But I hate to repot plants if I don’t need to.
