    IME… that’s how I got thrips last summer. 😓 I had the window open (with screen) to give my plant babies those fresh summer breezes, and was rewarded with a thrips outbreak that nearly gave me a nervous breakdown. Haha. Haha. As much as I love having windows open, I don’t do it any more, for the babies’ sake. 🪴🥹🪴

    I love your white Monstera! I’ve spent so much $$ ordering it but it is never like they picture it or have arrived taking their last breaths poor things! You’ve taken such good care of yours!

    I think they would enjoy the air. As for pests… it could get to them either way. Sucks for sure but the chance isn’t large unless you’re in an infested zone area.

    I’ve literally never done it without some kind of pest or fungus coming in, despite being a few floors up. And I know the pests aren’t coming in other ways. There’s a reason that my window plants have gotten fungus, thrips, and spider mites while the rest of my collection stays pristine. I love opening a window but finally accepting it’s not something I can do without SO many hours of pest control after.

      I’d also note as someone with many variegated monstera that they’re more resilient than a lot of plants but not at all immune. If you do decide to test out the windows I’d move any important plants into another room first and wait 3-4 weeks before moving back.

    I’m up high but down wind and up draft from lots of trees. I am new to plants but over the years a few ladybugs 🐞 have blown in. I like the windows open so bugs might have to be dealt with. If I see any ladybugs I’ll do all I can to make them at home.

    i think it depends on your area and the time of year. i would personally recommend having a fool-proof pest treatment on hand and let them have some breeze here and there! that’s what i do for my area.
