Why are the leaves so droopy? Did i put it too straight when I tied it to the pole?
I’m very new at plants. I bought this one on Facebook marketplace. Repotted twice because I realized the first pot was way too big 🤦🏻♀️ She’s now in a clear 6in nursery pot so I can see better when the soil is dry.
I water and mist per planta’s advice. Soil is potting soil + perlite + coco coir. The soil was dry for at least 2in when i last added water + fertilizer a week ago.
She’s in a room with a large south facing window, but she’s about 8ft from the window.
I’m winging it and learning as I go!
So - any thoughts on why it’s so droopy and what I should do?
Thank you! 😊

Okay, I know new growth comes from the last grown leaf. So on my monstera what should I be looking for to see if a new growth is starting?

Can you tell if this is one or more plants? How can I stop her leaning over.
I’m going to repot Montsè soon. I’ve got a pot that’s 4cm bigger, a nice airy potting mix that I’m cobbling together myself, a couple of bendy coir poles and I’m waiting on some 3D printed moss poles and moss to come.
It’ll be the very first time I’ve attempted a repot a Monstera and a plant this big.
I got her in this pot from an online store (approx September last year) and she has always tried to lean towards one side.
Any advice/suggestions would be appreciated 🙏🏼
PS I can get better pictures if you need them.

Brought home this beauty today!! Local green house only $18…would you consider this a steal?

My husband and I went on a day trip to a nursery about 1 hour from our place; just to get out of the house.
I had no intention of buying any plants…I know, famous last words.
But! I found this thia constellation for $89!
I have placed her in my kitchen with my green monstera.
I’m absolutely delighted every time I go into the kitchen!

Questions!
New to this, so pardon my terminology. I was gifted this monstera.
1. The only leaves so far have been towards the bottom. They’ve been smaller and solid. This new leaf shows fenestration. What determines how a leaf grows?
2 and 3. It looks like new stalks/stems growing from spots that have been cut in the past. I don’t see leafy parts growing here. Is this normal?
4. Is it normal to see these little “buds” at the bottom of the main stem area?
5. What causes yellow leaves? Am I over-watering? Should I leave this to recover? If I need to cut, how do I know where to cut?
6. The main stems grow sideways vs upwards. Should I add a pole to gently pull them upward?
Thanks for sticking with me and helping as I learn!!

Help. Is this water issue.? I removed from water pot. But I want to stop this quickly. She is gorgeous 😭
I also have new growths coming in as pictured
Was sprayed with neem oil a few days ago and it’s in bright indirect light rn. I’m also thinking she’s needs a bigger pot. Advice please. Current pot is 6in

My little albo variegata monstera is seemingly happy but hasn’t really grown much or produced any new leaves. Would that be because of winter/cold in my area (or does it matter because it’s inside)? I’ve been following Planta’s care schedule. Wanting to help it thrive.
Ty lovelies! 🌱

My monstera is really happy - putting out 3 new leaves in the past week. No signs of any unhappiness.
But I have noticed very small mushrooms growing out of the base of my moss pole. There have been 2 mushrooms in the past 2 months that I have scooped out by hand. Any suggestions?

My second and last attempt to have a monstera
I repotted her into a mix of pearlite, tropical soil, and orchid bark!
I also put her on a trellis
Wish me luck !

Rescued this little beauty today… early Mother’s Day present off hubby 😀. Any tips/tricks are welcome please 🙏🏻

Does she need help? I got this Monstera Adansonii about a month ago and she’s already put out these 2 leaves, but they haven’t completely unfurled? The lower one has been out for at least a week and a half now. I also noticed this bottom leaf is still a little curled under. She was sitting in some soil that I think held moisture for too long; I noticed some white fuzz on the surface, so I repotted 3 days ago into a mix of soil, perlite, and orchid bark. I haven’t watered again since repotting to give it a chance to not be so wet. None of the roots looked black though, aside from one small higher up one that looked like maybe an aerial root forming? So, is the curling alarming?

Hello!! Anyone have any suggestions on types of supports/stakes/poles for my Thai Constellation? Shes starting to lean and I don’t want her to have any issues. Idk if they will grow onto moss poles like some monsteras will so I wanted to ask before I bought one, or if I should just get a different stake type!
brianna 🤍
absolutely thriving 🤩 adding another moss pole to her tomorrow

My new leaf turned out to be half fenestrated 😮 I love how unique these beauties are

My baby has given me first leaf with fenestration 😍😍

I timed planting this monstera by seed where it actually sprouted within 2 days of my son being born! It’s been putting out leaves on his month marker so there’s always a new leaf for each new month of his life. I’ve been watching the 5th leaf coming out and today, 4days after his 5month mark, I see this.
I had thought this whole time it was solid but not any more! 5months for fenestrations! I don’t know if that’s fast or not but I feel accomplished! Can’t wait to see this thing in its full glory in a week or two from now!
Edit: while using ChatGPT to ask what the average time it takes for these to form I found out they’re called incisions, fenestrations are only the holes in the center of the leaf.

Hi everyone! Sorry if this is double posted, I think my first post didn’t go through. I have this monstera that I was given cuttings of about 5 months ago. 2 months ago I combined them into this new pot. Since then I have gotten a new leaf that fully opened up last week. Two of the stalks (sorry if the wording isn’t correct, I’m new to this lol) have where new leaves would come out, but both brown areas on those parts. I’m wondering if they will ever have new leaves out of those areas? Or if there is something I should do? My cat chewed the leaf off one stalk (I know they’re not supposed to chew on them) and the other leaf got cold and turned brown. I cut off the brown edges, but then the freshly cut edges just turned brown so I have left alone. Should I cut this leaf off or just leave it? I fertilized it two waterings ago with specific monstera fertilizer I bought off Amazon, and watered 3 days ago - following the Planta schedule. I do have a grow light I could place under if needed (Michigan winter currently so not a ton of sunlight). I’m just not sure what to do now but I just want it to grow new leaves lol. Thanks! :)

Back with another question! This beautiful plant baby arrived yesterday to me in great shape. It’s in sphagnum moss & this is my first experience with that medium. Do I repot this immediately/soonish into my aroid soil mix (homemade, super airy & chunky) OR do I keep it in the moss for a while?
