My Thai constellation just opened a new leaf and it’s so big and I’m so happy!! All the other leaves are fine but this new one is droopy. Is that normal or do I need to be doing something for it?? I haven’t had this happen with my other monsteras before
I feel like my monkey mask is a super light green and some of the leaves keep turning yellow in the back I don't think I'm over watering I use a water meter for the most part I just fertilized a month ago it wasn't real happy during the winter months but I don't know I just I'm wondering if the whole thing is turning yellow temperatures stay between 66° to 75° with a 55% to 70 percent humidity via the humidifier and heater in the sunroom 😩🪴 I just don't know he's left her so finicky it seems I don't know they're just so beautiful I just keep buying them and I'm pretty new to all this 🤦♀️ also I have it in the South window with a want to call it dappled light through the blinds do I need the blinds to be closed a little more for the monsters during the afternoon sun time? Like all the way closed just brightness through the blinds? Now my mini monstera just seems to be thriving in the full sun of that South window and the leaves are not scorched at all but the warmer months are coming so should I also start closing those blinds a little bit as well? Thank you all so much in advance 🙏🥹🪴🧡
Does anyone know why my new leaf is coming in damaged with holes like these? I don't know if it accidentally was ripped young or if its something else - please help!
Found this. It'll be back before you know it, and it is now by far the largest delicosa I own!
Help please😭 One of my monstera leaves has these thin brown trails that look like pest, but I’m not sure which one. Other leaves don’t have these trails. I did the Planta diagnosis and online research, but I don’t think they’re aphids, mealy bugs, or thrips. Any insight appreciated🙏
Hi everyone! My main Monstera plant is starting to show signs of needing to be repotted. Any suggestions on how I should do so? Thank you so much.
When misting my Monstera Peru today—-no leaves were like this previously. You can see other photos that I’ve taken over the last month or so. It is sitting on a cabinet about 5 to 6 feet from an east facing window and may get some direct sunlight in the morning. Nowhere else on the plant has any type of brown area like this one. Thoughts please???
Just repotted my girl Minnie. I’ve had her for about 9 months now and she had the smaller leaves and has sprouted 5large leaves but they were growing out instead of up. I finally put her on the floor today and added this support.. but I’m reading a moss pole is best. What size? Also.. any other tips to get my babe to grow up?
Hello! I’ve had this monstera for about a year and she was repotted roughly 2 weeks ago. I saw some videos on adding in something to help monsteras grow up more. I was wondering what would be the best way to achieve that? I don’t know if mine has long enough aerial roots for that or if I add in support and it will just start to grow up. I would love some advice on how to grow her into a big monstera(:
Just enjoying the newest leaf on this bad boy 👌🏼❤️🌿
Hi! I am a new Monstera lover and purchased this one from Lowe's a week ago. It's in the same nursery pot it came in, and I sat it in the tall planter with a saucer under it (cat mom). The soil was really wet when I bought it, but I've been monitoring and seeing if it will dry out. I want to give it 2-3 weeks to get adjusted to its new environment and then repot to change the soil. I will be making a chunky soil mix to use when repotting. Also, it was exposed to cold during the brief transport home. There is a small dark spot on one of the new leaves. I can't tell if this is two plants or just one. I'm new to this plant owner thing but have been doing ALOT of reading and watching YouTube videos. I would love for her to grow big and wide, but I'm not sure about the following. Could you please offer your advice based on your experience? Lots of questions here! Thanks so much for helping! - would you repot now to change the soil to a more chunky medium, which is more dry than what it is currently in? - if this is two plants vs 1, do you recommend I separate them? If so, what's the best way to do this? - what do you think the dark spot is on the new leaf? - should I remove the smaller leaves on the bottom? I ask because I've read that sometimes that's taking away energy from the larger leaves -what's your suggestion on using poles to help growth upward?
Hi friends! This is my first monstera. I got her in January from a vintage mall and repotted her soon after. I’m so pleased to say she’s already grown four new leaves since then and is working on her fifth! She’s getting pretty bushy and her new leaves are hiding behind her old curly ones. Can/should I prune her to show off her pretty new fenestrated leaves? She’s looking kinda crazy and she’s growing in a bunch of directions. I’d want to try to propagate whatever I cut. Any advice or tips from experienced Monstera parents? Thanks in advance!
Hello friends, Today I found a beautiful Thai Constellation Monstera at my local nursery. My house is already a jungle, with a massive Monstera monopolizing the big living room window. Most of my plants use grow lights, but this one is up in the bedroom with a south facing window. Planta says this room has too much direct sunlight for this guy. I’ve placed it on the east side of the room about 110cm from the window, and it would get shade in the morning with direct light for a bit in the afternoon. Is this too bright? Does anyone have any experience with these guys burning?
I have wanted a monstera also for forever and I finally got this cutting recently. I have it in a bag (for humidity) with moist sphagnum moss and perlite. It doesn’t have any roots yet, not even an aerial root from before. What really has me concerned is the yellowing on the left side of the leaf. I know I could still manage without the leaf but it would probably help speed things up a bit by giving it extra energy. An ideas on what could be wrong and what I could do to fix it?
Hi everyone, Someone gave me this old and unhealthy monkey face. My apartment has really low light so I made this grow light setup for it. I had some Wiz lights already and decided to use them as the grow lights. I heard they don’t work but figured it would give them a try. After about a month I’ve had multiple new leafs on all the vines and seems to be recovering from the relocation and repotting shock. Has anyone used these and had success? I know I should probably use better grow lights but figured I would try what I had. Let me know what you think! Thanks!
Counting 23* fenestrations on this newest leaf!
This was a gift from my boyfriend’s son who passed 3/15/24. It was his favorite plant. I am desperately trying to keep him alive and I’m terrified to do anything. Is the pot too big? I water every Sunday, I’ve used this app since we got him, soil is peat moss and the little white balls, lots of drainage and I empty excess water in the basin. He grows new leafs after I water and I use miracle grow at all waterings. I have moved him to the bathroom with a grow light and my weak attempt at a moss pole. He is so thin compared to the ones I’ve seen and his leafs are curling up. Please help!
I need some help. I bought this monstera on clearance, I assumed because it was dying. I revived it, saw it was 2 separate plants, gave it a trim and now they're both very happy. However one is acting like a beautiful monstera as I expected and one is... not? What is this? It's happy whatever it's doing lol (I've added photos of the normal one plus growth photos of the Frankenstein one)
IT HAPPENED. I finally found a local albo cutting that didn't necissitate selling a kidney! Super pumped and would love any propagation tips. I do have a marble queen pothos cutting in the same jar as this one for some extra support too.
