This is just in one year? :) Did you do anything special?

#### David님이 2025-05-16에 답변했습니다.

Yes! :) The calathea i got in January/February 2024 and the monstera last June. I think the biggest things for the monstera have been: Light, Osmocote fertilizer (and others like silica), chunky soil, and staking it.

For the calathea: consistent watering (soil should stay relatively wet but don’t want it muddy), bright indirect light, and same fertilizing strategy
