Is the node growing up top an aerial root? If so, how should I support it? Is there anything I can do to encourage a fuller plant rather than the leggy growth I have right now? Any help appreciated!

Day 5 of propagating my Thai con!! I couldn’t post anything for two days because I was on a trip , but it’s official there is a root growing!! (The lighter area of the node is the new root) ~ I do get asked a lot about how I propagate and my answer is only distilled water! Sometimes I will add a golden pothos as if they grow together in water it promotes growth! ~

I am in need of advice. I’m trying to get my monstera attached to a moss pole. This is my first time. I want to get it to climb and I’m having a lot of difficulty with it so I need to know what to do and how best I might do it. The main problem is whatever the nursery used as medium is so tightly compacted I wasn’t able to completely get it off my plants roots while switching soil types. It was extremely root bound and I found that it had a cloth plug attached to it. I wasn’t unable to remove it so I did clip it on several sides to try to loosen it. Because the top of the soil was so compacted I couldn’t loosen the roots at the top or straighten out aerial roots and attaching the moss pole didn’t go how I’d like. How do I best sort this out. I know there’s gonna be different opinions and ideas. I’m not against a chop and prop if I absolutely have to.

…sorry to dominate this side group so much lately! Herman question, once again. This app says to mist his leaves, whereas my Alexa+ recommended not doing that and just dusting them once in a while. What say you amazing plant people!?🪴😊

How close should a full spectrum light be from a Monstera leaf? Trying to prevent any issues before they happen…he’s a year or less old and just starting his next new leaf!

I’m about to toss this expensive monstera. It’s the most maddening plant I have ever owned. The price tag did not help. I got it from a reputable online nursery and everything else I’ve ordered in the past has been excellent. I think it’s the genetics of this cultivar. I have had it for almost 1.5 years and this is all it’s done—barely grown and just turn the limey parts papery brown. Grow a new leaf, then turn brown for no f reason. And it’s starting again on the newest leaf. It’s not water, it’s not fertilizer, it’s not light… what am I doing wrong. I own a few monsteras including other variegated types but nothing has been like this. Any advice would be helpful.

Exciting day! We are turning over a new leaf…. Hah! This monstera was abandoned a few times (not by me) and i finally have her in my control. She was a mess of weight and weakness so she has a baby cage for now. But I have been rewarded with a new leaf. Gotta give her a fighting chance.

I just chopped this branch off my Thai con for propagating (I’m still nervous but I hope she grows some good roots!)

So…just saw this lil guy! Cause for concern? Herman is still in the Costa Farms soil he was in at Walmart. I plan on repotting soon.
