How petty is your monstera?? 🍃🤣 Any special tips? ## 15 comments ### Mikel’s Plant Posse commented on 2026-06-17 I’ve had Herman Monstera for about a month now (older picture closer to when I got him) he’s pushing up his first new leaf now! He’s a joy to have added to my collection…good luck with yours, if you get one! I recommend the Thai Constellation variety, love the leaf patterns! He has only just yesterday shown a bit of browning on the edge of a leaf. But that’s as moody as I’ve seen. ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/p2JoTxsYMMu1I_M_-FU0kq3BTMZh6orYbGC2TXeoBEc/zbrAgPilRwmISKX01_Vm4w.webp?size=large) #### Loutie2012 replied on 2026-06-17 I love your friend Herman! He’s a looker! Glad he’s not too moody for you. For no good reason I’m going to name mine “Pearl”. She sounds darling but she’s got some sass to her. I’ll be sure to look at the Thai Constellation variety. Thank you, I appreciate it! ### Ida commented on 2026-06-17 I also recommend Thai Constellation. I’ve had mine for 10 months and it’s stunning. My regular Monsteras and grow as well too, but the Thai is just more consistent #### Loutie2012 replied on 2026-06-17 Thank you so much. I will report back because now that I’ve said it, I have to get one. 🙈♥️ #### Ida replied on 2026-06-17 Good luck! The watering was tricky with my first one, but with Planta you’ll have no problem ☺️ #### Loutie2012 replied on 2026-06-17 Quite literally. It’s been a life saver! ### Alesha commented on 2026-06-17 Absolutely get one! I have 4 but my fav is my deliciosa and she just keeps growing bigger and bigger leaves every month💃 #### Loutie2012 replied on 2026-06-17 Oooooh now I must!! ### Mikel’s Plant Posse commented on 2026-06-17 Herman came in a self watering wick system pot. It’s going well so far… #### Loutie2012 replied on 2026-06-17 I love that!! So glad Herman is thriving! #### Mikel’s Plant Posse replied on 2026-06-17 His new leaf is on its way! 🪴🥳 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/p2JoTxsYMMu1I_M_-FU0kq3BTMZh6orYbGC2TXeoBEc/TDDSbZgBRbmOQGCoQfYjXQ.webp?size=large) ### Phil commented on 2026-06-17 I have three and they were all given to me as cuttings. I think they are indestructible. The original plain Jane from several years ago. A Thai constellation that I’ve had about a year and is already too big. Plus a small albo that I’ve had for a few months. My favorite plants are succulents so the tropical are not as well looked after. Sometimes actually neglected, but they are thriving. ### Christina commented on 2026-06-17 I have a mini and reg deliciosa, a thai con, a swiss adansonii. The mini got mauled and up rooted by my 2 yr old grandson and was salvaged (lost one corm) and repotted and is thriving. They are pretty hearty with a few basic needs and understanding of their natural habitats. My swiss is growing the fastest, but they are all growing consistantly😊 i got all mine as babies ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/8RoxPak5YLy4dIduutbPGBLiR_zbSZ6ojYQ9GOZame8/tHBNKuoNRZ2gZ7B_Ia9e8Q.webp?size=large) ### LeafyGreenhouse commented on 2026-06-18 I recommend them, the normal monstera is not very dramatic the only time mine has ever been was when she didn’t get watered enough .I agree you should get a Thai con but the only thing is they take forever to produce new leaves unlike normal monstera. ### Lynn commented on 2026-06-18 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/2Ehb8F_2fj7hdlYM46pDvO4t_ugIRMoGobGIQ83QDDQ/fta3r87uQPq_VQC9HzuUPg.webp?size=large) --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com).
