Anyone know what this appendage is on my monstera deliciosa? Internet is saying it’s a new elbow but I’m not entirely sure that’s right. (Second photo of plant for reference)

Hi all! Thought I’d share something new and weird that I dealt with lately…. I’ve been rooting a monstera esqueleto cutting for several months now in water and stratum, and the new growth on it was this long vine that kept growing and growing but was never producing any leaves. I kept it forever thinking “well maybe it’ll start producing leaves eventually” but it got SO long that I finally thought this will be such a weird looking plant when I pot it…I have to do something. So I started doing some research, and turns out that sometimes plants that have been used for propagating a lot or been damaged in other ways can send out these “suckers” or “runners,” which are the plant’s attempt to grow with their hormones all out of whack. The best advice I could find was to just cut off the sucker at the node where it starts, and encourage new growth from that node that will have the genetics to produce leaves correctly. Apparently some species of monstera are susceptible to this (especially adansonii, which esqueleto is related to, and monstera peru), and individual plants can be more prone to producing them than others. Anyway, I’ve never dealt with this before, especially while rooting a cutting, so thought I’d share the weirdness!

Got this climber a moss pole!

Advice please, I transplanted my Monstera from the pot it was in for about 18 months. Since then (about a month) it has just been very wilted and slightly crispy on some of the leaves. I haven’t watered it in about 6 days, the soil is well drained and there are holes at the bottom. Thanks!

Got this big baby at Trader Joe’s for $20 bucks! She has some bad travel damage and perhaps a tiny bit of fungus… plus she is SUPER root bound! She is a large plant though, I don’t have any experience in supporting her. She is long tall and lanky, plus fragile! Not a great combo Any help is greatly appreciated😊😊 ( sorry about the mess in the the background )

Then vs Now! This is by far my favorite plant to date!🌿😍 May 2023 ➡️ Today!

Hi, I'm asking for my in-laws, she has this Monstera and it does not look good. I think that it is overwatered but I'm not sure. It doesn't have a drainage holes as she pot it straight in the decorative pot but she put some rocks on the bottom of the soil. What will be the remedy for this plant? If we repot it into a plastic - growing pot and put fresh soil, do we cut off all the bad leaves or leave it as is? Thanks in advance!

So I was grocery shopping and couldn’t leave this one at the store, so I’m branching out with my first Monstera…Say Hello to Monkey Mask, Adanson’s Monstera, Swiss Cheese. Here’s hoping I can keep it happy!!

I got this gorgeous monstera cutting from a prop swap yesterday but the one leaf is curling a bit. I put her in about 1/3 bark and 2/3 regular indoor potting soil. I have her next to north and west facing windows and the lamp next to her has a grow light bulb in it. I’ve never owned a large monstera before so Im not sure if the leaf curling is normal or if I should be worried. Anyone know?!

my monstera used to have so many leaves and it was really healthy but since the summer it lost most of the leaves, even though some of them were only just growing in. any advice on how to recover it?

Hi! ✌🏾How would you bring this beauty back to health? I suspect it’s overwatered and maybe needs to be repotted. How big should the pot be? What kind of plant food would you use? What should I know?

Then vs Now 3 Years • Occasional fertilizing • Plenty of sun/Grow Light! I am about to repot her with another monstera and add a moss pole cause she’s tipping over. I had to put 2 container full of rocks to weight her down. 😅

My newest rescue from the plant shelter 😅. There was standing water in the pot, but not for too long judging by the overall condition. Hopefully I dried her out in time! The most satisfying part is always the “welcome home” bath!

This is a rescue monstera a friend tasked me with saving. I did some pruning a few weeks ago and it’s had a TON of new growth since. Including this. Has anyone seen something like this before?

👋 Hey monstera lovers! I got this Thai constellation a couple days ago and I’m so excited about it! I’m also a little nervous since it was definitely more expensive than my other monstera (free from a friend moving). My question is - should I repot it? It has a new leaf unfurling so I don’t want to stress it out. But it also has roots coming out of the bottom of the pot. There also appears to be a root that didn’t get potted well at the nursery? Idk what to do. I just don’t want to kill it accidentally 😳
