Good evening, Apologies in advance for the long post. This is my first ever post and I am also a first-time Monstera owner. I was kindly gifted this plant by a friend (he has been affectionately named Harry House Plant). I have already repotted Harry and given him some support (please see pictures), and as you can see, he has grown a lot since he first arrived in my home. As a first-time Monstera owner and new houseplant owner (most of my plants are Lego), I was wondering: a) if he is healthy and whether I should be doing anything differently, b) how I can make him stand straight instead of being all over the place, and c) Harry currently lives on the windowsill of my very small bathroom, and my boyfriend is becoming more and more agitated as Harry continues to grow everywhere — where would be a suitable replacement home for Harry? Also could someone please tell me what I am supposed to do with the root like dangling things hanging off some of the branches? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Alberto’s winter pre propagation has begun… I saw a video of sphagnum moss in a ziplock after cutting the 4 foot long plus aerial roots so they can root out to make each plant have a more stable root system for propagation in the spring

So my deliciosa just recently had 2 new leaves and one of the opened deformed, I’m not upset I’m just so intrigued if it’s because I stressed it TF out by chopping and root rehabilitation

Is it true that Monsteras can tolerate being root bound? That it helps them put out more leaves? Debating repotting my Thai Con…

✨Please Don’t Judge✨ I have had my plant since October (bought from a grocery store floral department) and initially it was doing well and had way more leaves. In late November, most of the leaves turned yellow or completely died. I cut off the dead parts and am left with what is in the picture. I have checked for root rot, but I don’t exactly know if has it or not…I went ahead and changed out the soil and added a grow light d/t my room not having much sunlight. She’s still just not doing well 😭 I want to save this plant, it’s my favorite!! Any suggestions? All advice is appreciated!

I have many Monstera plant that are flourishing, but for some reason, my mint Monstera has never done well. It’s currently down to just two leaves - the main leaf and then one that’s starting to yellow. I think I’ve had it for six months and I don’t believe I’ve ever had a new leaf come in on it. The roots look fine so it doesn’t look like it has root rot. I watered it the same way I do with my other ones. It is about a foot away from a grow light just like my other Monstera plants. It’s not root bound. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I love how my mini monstera went from zero growth since I bought it a couple months ago, to killing off a leaf and giving me 2 new ones lol

I salvaged this section of a monstera from a building site. It seems like it’s been cut back over the years as it has woody ends that have healed over. Any suggestions to get this plant growing again? Should I separate the part with the leaf from the old stem and try to propagate in water? Or is it better to plant the stem in some soil (curling up the large root at the bottom) and let it do its thing?

what is wrong with my monstera cutting? i picked it up yesterday from someone on marketplace. the other leaves are fine. i just put it in lecca, hopefully that helps?

Just replaced the pole with a moss pole. Had to re tie all vines and branches. Let’s see how she reacts. Looks much better already
