Hi, all! Need some opinions, just recently repotted my Monstera Thai yesterday. I was wondering if it’s okay for her back bone to be elevated from the soil as photo, as I can’t bring her down more cause most of her roots are in the front, and I spread them on the pot, hence why she’s like this. (Also gave her a better support.) 😅 Thank you!

I know you’ve heard of Monstera “Bulbasaur” but have you heard of Monstera “Vietciosa”.. This things color is insane😍

I had a surge of bravery this morning (hoping it’s not stupidity). I pruned my monstera and working on propagating. It was large. I may have gotten dizzy 😵‍💫 The “mother plant” is shown below. It seems that the leaves are pointed in 2 directions. Do I continue cutting here to make it one-sided?

Am I past the point of no return, ya’ll? My monstera is getting so top-heavy; I wish I had put her on a moss pole early on. She’s gettin’ bigger than a house, and I know I’m gonna come home one of these days and find her tipped over on the ground begging for LifeAlert. What would be y'all's next step in care for this big girl?

My monstera has been sad and droopy all winter. It’s in a low light room but the grow light seemed to perk her up at first. I’m thinking that her pot might be too big? The soil seems to take a while to dry out.

Does anyone know why my Deliciosa would be putting out new leaves with fenestrations but they’re smaller than the one put out before?

Am I overwatering my rhaphidophora tetrasperma (mini monster)? She's been fine in the past, and I'm typically good with just watering when it feels right, but she's been getting a lot of yellow leaves lately, especially on the big ones 😢. I recently watered on like a 7 day interval since I went on vacation, should I space it out more? It's also winter and cold here, don't know if that changes anything 🪴

Separated my Albo on the weekend they were originally one plant that got chopped a couple months ago. The top cut had been living off the moss pole while the base was established in the substrate. Recently both pushed new leaves at the same time and started competing for space, so it was time to split them properly. The top now has its own pot and pole, and the base has been given its own pole to start climbing. Checked the tent today and was genuinely surprised the base has already thrown out a thick aerial root and anchored into the moss in just 4 days 😍 Super keen to see how this one develops now that it’s got its own space to climb.

We are starting to get inner fenestrations! Honestly the leaves grow a little to quick, and every leaf I have to carefully remove the sheath from the leaf so it doesn’t rot or deform each one… It keeps me busy!

After 1 .5 weeks submerging the aerial roots in water more have grown!!! I can’t believe how fast they sprouted in this short time period. What should my next step be? Wait for them to sprout more roots? Is it time to put the monstara back in soil ? There is only 1 leaf now.. I just Couldn’t save the other one unfortunately.

Grabbed my first varigated Monstera at Lowes today for 25 dollars. Not sure what exact species it is, would love some guesses. I've never had one before so I would appreciate some suggestions on the best way to grow this. I want to grow it taller rather than too wide. It's currently about a foot and a half tall.

I have had my monstera for exactly a month - noticed these very small brown spots recently… should I be concerned or am I just being a paranoid plant mom lol

Just got her yesterday A few of her leaves are a bit brown and crunchy, I suspect sunburn but google says it could be one of 25,000 things. This is my first experience with Monstera any advice to fix her up? I’ll repot her tomorrow.

Hi friends! (semi) new to the plant world. Just bought my first monstera last night. she’s currently in my window and i have not repotted her yet. Couple of questions!! 1. Is this spot okay for her? 2. when should I repot & what soil should I use? 3. I want her to grow real leafy, key hacks? 4. and lastly, does she look ok!?

Would y’all recommend separating all of these or keeping them all together?

My monstera is doing well and I’m just not sure when I need to repot it. Do I wait until it’s all roots in the pot or is now a good time? Also, to moss poll or not to moss poll? I think I would like to get more of a taller look than a bushy look I’m just not sure how to do a moss poll and keep the plant strong and healthy.

I think my Monstera is very healthy. I’ve had it for eight months and I’ve gotten a bunch of new growth in that timeframe, but I just wanna make sure that it’s continues to stay strong it looks pretty. so what should I do for it

Are moss poles good for monsteras? I’ve seen plenty of people using them but plenty more not, I’m confused
