I truly hope you researched how to care for this plant, before spending a ton of money on it.

#### Kore replied on 2023-06-22

Don’t drop it 🫠

I dropped mine this morning and it broke 50% of it’s leaves. I’m trying to propagate some of them but he’s looking rough.

Yeah idk why I thought to propagate them, they didn’t have nodes attached so it’s not gonna work but it kept them alive longer I guess 🤷‍♀️

How old is yours?

#### Ada replied on 2023-06-30

I bought him this size but from what I’ve read about their stages of growth, I think he’s about three.

Ps, he didn’t have a name prior to the incident but now I’ve decided to call him Crash 😅

But all jokes aside, that looks like a beautiful little plant! And I wish you the best of luck in your Monstera deliciosa endeavors! 🪴❤️

I got a medium sized one for $30 at Home Depot a year or so ago. It’s huge now. I let mine almost dry out completely before watering (learned the hard way when part of it got root rot.) I have it right next to an east facing window and it is thriving. I fertilize it about every other month. When I water it, I take it out back and soak it and let it drain. It’s super happy. They can tolerate low light but will thrive in bright indirect light.

Typically mine i only water when the top 2 inches of the soil is dry, they seem to love a weekly mist as well, and mostly just cleaning the leaves when they collect a but of dust, as for fertilizer i recommend biotone since its a slow release organic fertilizer that has rooting hormones in it(very helpful for root shock and repotting)
