Hello! Im a new plant & monstera momma. I just got this baby at Lowe’s today for $28! The soil feels moist so I’m not going to water it but should I repot her in a nursery pot? The one shes in has a string at the bottom for the water but not many drainage holes. Also working on mixing up a nice soil mixture, any recommendations would be appreciated ❤️

I just got two of these lovelies at Lowe’s!! should I plant them in to the same pot to make a bigger plant or keep them separate? I’m a new monstera mom.

My Burke Marx’s flame is finally getting its first new leaf since I got it a month ago. Can’t wait to see it unfurl, but I think I’ll need to wait a while before there are fenestrated leaves. Look at the cute tiny guttation droplet on the tip of the new leaf.

I accidentally gave D’Artagnan’s a sunburn when I turned on the grow light while he was too close to it. This was over a month ago, and I didn’t want to cut the leaf off. Now that he has grown a lot the leaf is starting to get tears in the burn spot. Should I cut it off? And if so where should I cut? Should I cut near the base of the leaf? It is the front leaf.

I think my Monstera is ready for a larger pot. 😅 But he has gotten so large, I’m kinda nervous about how large of a project it will be. This will be my first time ever reporting this guy. Any tips for first time Monstera repots? Thank you in advance for all the advice!!!

Hi! I was gifted this Monstera but not sure what to do as im pretty new to this whole plant thing. I want it to grow more leaves instead of being leggy.. also is it normal for there to be so many aerial roots? What would you do?!

Just did a root check on my thai con, and the poor baby was root bound so I reported her, fertilized, and watered 💦 in the mean time, who is your favorite plant YouTuber/TikTokker, ect? Mine is PlantsByKrystal! Have a good day and TIA for the answers :) (side note, I know she looks sad, but she'll be better in a few days hopefully)

Good morning good afternoon good evening plant fam, Just a question please. I was just going to repot this Monstera and I was wondering should I wait until the new leaf has opened and hardened off? Or is it OK to repot it now? TIA.

Recently had an oopsies with my monstera after a move…2 weeks later after pruning about half of the leaves, I noticed one of the stems is growing a new leaf right through the cut stem!! I couldn’t believe it. Has anyone seen this before? Im just glad I didnt cut the stem further down and she made a comeback😅

Happy Friday! Is it normal to have, what looks to be like, a new leaf growing on a stem that still has a leaf unfurling?

My first cutting ever. It was becoming too top heavy. Think I did it right? Includes the nose and I made sure not to cut through the previous growth point that remains on the mother plant. Also in the jug, is the water level high enough?

My monsterra has been thriving, but recently whenever I water her, the water seems like it goes straight through the soil and out of the planter. Its been just over a year since I reported her last, does this mean I need to repot her?

Hi everyone! Still kinda new to monsteras so have a quick question about my Peru! Got about a month ago, was root bound so repotted. Noticed a few days ago some yellowing. Soil very wet, thinking not enough drainage and soil too dense so removed today, repoted into a clear nursery pot with a very chunky mix, then into the other pot I added more holes to...it is very dry so wondering when do I water? I did remove some brown roots but it still has healthy ones). Do i wait a couple days or more?? Water now to help it along in it's new life? Any help is much appreciated! Thanks in advance ☺️

Hey guys! I have two monstera albos. They sort of seemed to be growing new leaves but after repotting, the leaves have been stuck like this for the past month or so. I live near Seattle area so the weather is cooling down a bit but my room doesn’t have a window that opens so it stays quite warm. Any idea why it’s stunted/any tips to get it growing? Or should I just wait it out for a few months? (I use silicate when watering - it prevents the white from browning completely!!! Could this be causing the stunting??)

Anyone know what is up with the drooping of these leaves? They also haven’t put out any new leaves in the past month and a half or so :(

I have my 1/2 moon Monstera Albo in a mix of Lecca and Fluval stratum because it was a cutting and I needed to grow roots and decided semi hydro was the way to go. It has done amazing and just shot off it’s first new leaf. It also has a second leaf already coming in and an aerial is forming. Is it safe to move to a chunky soil mix or should I wait for that second leaf? This is my first Monstera grown from a cutting, but I have 2 thai cons, a mint, a burl marx, peru, adansonii, and deliciosa all in soil and a deliciosa and Adansonii growing out of a fish tank. So I am not new to Monstera but this is the first semi hydro I have done.
