I just started doing this and I thought that my monstera Scarlett should have the light of attention.

I recently got this Thai constellation from marketplace and it is doing great but the roots are out on the top and wondering if I should repot it in a slightly bigger pot. Any advice would be appreciated!🤗

Already have 2 Thai cons but I couldn’t leave her behind especially with this variegation! Judging from the leaf that’s coming in and the stem it looks like she’s going to be mostly white. Any tips on highly variegated plants? How do I avoid further browning of the leaves - my other Thai cons do not have that..

Is it time to repot my monstera? The root is coming out of the bottom.

Over the past ~3 weeks, my Monstera has given me 7 of these short little leaves without any fenestrations. Any idea why? What am I supposed to do with these?

So I recently ordered some rare monstera propagations from Thailand and I wanted some suggestions on how to further care for it to make sure they 100% make it. I was thinking of doing a peat moss with tropical soil mix to start it off with a humity dome. Any ideas?

please help 🥹🥹 i picked up this beautiful girl about a week ago off marketplace in prep for my first home and making it as green as possible. i noticed some of the leaves were yellowing/curling in so i moved it further from the window yesterday. i just got in from work and noticed more curling in and now these leaves that look as tho they’re being eaten. is this something that happens or should i be looking at the cats (that aren’t coming with me - i know monsteras can be toxic to animals). i really want to help her thrive and i feel like ive already let her down. any beginner tips and suggestions are so appreciated 🫶 edit : we’re still getting snow here in ontario so the heat is on. i’m sure that doesn’t help

The before and after of the monstera that I bought from Trader Joe's. The root ball was so large it took me 45 minutes to get into it. I ended up with 3 plants from the original. I'm so proud of myself!

Hi everyone!! Before I decide to water my monsteras, I need to know if they’re in too big of pots. I recently repotted her and she was very droopy, so I separated some of the plants and repotted them into different pots, but am worried they won’t grow or face root rot since the pots are too big. Could anyone let me know so I can repot her and give her the ability to grow?

8 days ago I repotted 2 healthy looking plants, each in a 4” pot, to a 6” pot. They looked ok for a couple days and then became sad and droopy looking. I thought maybe repot shock. Last night I thought maybe there were pests on a plant about 8” away from the Peru. It was a Pilea that has pretty much always looked rather shi🌱🌱y. Long history w/ that plant. It went to Pilea Hell last night. Checked the Perus, thought they might have white dots on them that I could wipe off. Wiped all leaves and stems with alcohol. Today it looks even “droopier”. Wasn’t due to be watered for 4 days. Checked it and it was dry for 3 inches of the 5 inch depth—so I watered it🤷‍♀️ Any thoughts or tips? I’m not convinced that there were pests on either, but wanted to err on the side of caution. I’ve posted pic from today. It didn’t look much better than this yesterday. TIA for any words of wisdom 🪴

My poor baby Glenn is sick. Why are his leaves looking like this? He’s kept in in-direct sunlight, not in direct A/C flow. Any tips would be very helpful 😊✨🪴

Why is this leaf discolored? I recently repotted her but she has been pushing out a new leaf since then. I did have her outside previously but moved her inside with a grow light because I thought she was getting too much sun outside. Could it be from too much sun or overwatering her when I repotted? I can’t figure out what’s wrong :(

Last year, my mom and sister came to visit. My sister had gotten into plants and decided I needed to grow up and have some plants in my house. I am a convicted serial plant killer and gave up trying to keep plants alive, so I protested. I was ignored. I came home from work to find that my sister had gone to Home Depot and that there were now living breathing plants in my house, ready to be murdered. 😆 Diamond and her friends grew on me. Some of her friends became murder victims (cause of death: drowning), but my reformation began. Diamond is one of my surviving originals. Several weeks ago, I bottom watered Diamond and didn't realize there was still water in the bottom of her planter. I realized it when I inspected her after she kept yellowing leaves. I drained her, cut off the yellows and thought everything would be fine. I had to admit her to my plant hospital (guest bathroom tub) over the weekend. Aerial roots rotting. I'm about to unpot her and see if there is root rot and remove any dead roots in an effort to keep her alive. Wish me luck!

My new baby I just got today from Home Depot. I was only there to look at their 50% off plants (I purchased two) and I wound up with a few other plants, including this Thai constellation. 😍
