Hey y’all! When I was in Hawaii I was fascinated by all the beautiful plants, and it’s what sparked my plant obsession. I don’t know much about plants but remembered this being a Monstera. 2 years later, I finally brought a monstera home but I’m realizing that I don’t think they are the same type?? To me, this leaf shape looks “droopier/more dramatic” and I love the contrast of the bright, almost neon, green stem against the darker green leaves.
Would anyone happen to know what this monstera is called? I’d love to have it in my collection. Or is this just an absolutely massive wild “regular” monstera and this is how they look when they get that big? For reference, that’s my grandma’s head in the picture and she’s 5’2, I’m pretty sure these leaves were as tall, if not taller, as her.
Sorry if this is a dumb question! Thank you in advance!

This is my monstera, I got her in December and transitioned it to water. It’s been doing great and I’m even getting a new leaf!
Question about the holes in leaves: from what I’ve read it sounds like they develop after the leaf has opened and has reached a width large enough to block sunlight from lower leaves. My three largest leaves have no holes, but the smallest one and the new one (I peeked) have holes??
I don’t know much about this plant, do I have a variety that develops differently? Or why would some leaves “bloom” with holes while older leaves still don’t have any?
TIA!

Hey guys,
I’ve recently received this monstera, it arrived fairly dry but with lovely soft leaves. Before I could water it the leaves had started folding inwards and becoming quite rigid, almost like I could snap one if I pressed against them, this happened within about 30 minutes of unboxing it.
I watered the plant until the water meter read fairly moist but it hasn’t improved.
I somehow manage to look after dozens of other house plants but always have issues with my monsteras.
Is this normal behaviour/does it look healthy in the image?
It’s about 20ft from a south facing wall of windows, but it
has an artificial light on it for 12 hours a day (though this plant dosnt have a proper grow light, just a standard light) Humidity is around 60%

My monstera adansonii has some leaves that are turning yellow around the edges and tips, along with a few brown tips. I water when the soil is about half dry and it’s been sitting about a foot from a north facing window. Does anyone know if this is a problem with light or water? Or maybe temperature?

Anyones monstera just slow growing ? Great light, good fertilizer , good soil and great roots that fit the pot, no pests, at some point this plant even had a grow light and still the quickest ive ever gotten a leaf was 6 monthsss apart 😆

Hello! I received a clipping in November of a monstera and it was doing ok, then not so well it lost a big leaf and the bottom had a little rot and I dipped it in wax to seal it and it seemed to help but now I’m trying to see what my next steps should be there is rot where it was sealed off before but has a lot of roots and also roots from the ‘main bulbous stem?’ Not sure what it’s called and a baby leaf developing should I cut anything off, pot it or keep it going as is or reseal the rot after cutting some off? Any help will help 🥲 thank you and here are some pictures

I’ve finally got a teeny tiny baby Thai Con!
It was busting out of its 6cm pot (good healthy roots!), so I’ve repotted it with a very chunky mix. It was the most I’ve ever spent on a plant (£25) but I was very tempted to buy two and pot them together. Should I go back and get another?!

Her new leaf is so beautiful 🥹

Hello! Monty the Monstera is healthy overall except for this fella. Also, is that small dark stem above it concerning? Water schedule and soil are good. No root rot. Misting and grow lights are used. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

some good plant news— this leaf has almost hardened off and is simply stunning 🤩

I rescued this Monstera last year from a sale and have never gotten round to repotting it. Well today was the day and I’m shocked! I have never seen a plant so rootbound in my life. The roots were solid and although surprisingly healthy I couldn’t gently pry them apart so I had to cut the majority of them off although she is looking much better after a repot
Disclaimer- the leafs have been modified with the help of my cat, she doesn’t bite them she just enjoys testing me by slapping the leafs with her nails out

Propagation that is ready to be put into soil! I always have a hard time when choosing pot size; recommendations?
