Do you mean Monstera Adansonii or Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma?

The second one, how do you ever keep the spelling straight😂

### Wolfen 🐺 comentó el 2024-11-29

😆 either because i talk about the plant fairly regularly, or i had to program it into autocorrect 😅 they like humidity, and don't like to completely dry out in between watering. So don't water until the top layer of soil is dry

So about when I stick my finger in a little ways and its completely dry or should I still be able to stick my finger in a bit and feel dampness?

### Wolfen 🐺 comentó el 2024-11-29

It should only stay damp near the roots. So If you stuck your finger in to say, the first knuckle, should be dry

Ok thanks so much🪴

### Abbi comentó el 2024-11-29

All these scientific names😅 I eventually learn how to spell most of them but don't ask me how to pronounce them😂

Lol same. Some of them I'm like.... I'm not sure what drugs you were on when you went on this naming spree. But imma need you to calm down.
