Has anyone grown a plant only in perlite? I had some Monstera cuttings propagating in perlite for 3 months but was considering keeping them that way. Any suggestions?

eatyacarbsyou could but would definitely recommend putting it on a sphagnum moss pole, and maybe adding a layer of something heavy like pebbles or stones at the bottom, especially if it’s a deliciosa. The perlite alone won’t provide a strong enough anchor point for the weight of the plant eventually. And don’t forget fertilizer!

send_nodesSome people use perlite as a semihydro medium but it doesn’t deliver nutrients to the plant as effectively as pon (pumice, lava rock, and zeolite). I mix the two together for my semihydro plants because perlite is cheaper lol
