    IMEā€¦ thatā€™s how I got thrips last summer. šŸ˜“ 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 donā€™t do it any more, for the babiesā€™ sake. šŸŖ“šŸ„¹šŸŖ“

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

    I think they would enjoy the air. As for pestsā€¦ it could get to them either way. Sucks for sure but the chance isnā€™t large unless youā€™re in an infested zone area.

    Iā€™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 arenā€™t coming in other ways. Thereā€™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 itā€™s not something I can do without SO many hours of pest control after.

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

    Iā€™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 šŸž have blown in. I like the windows open so bugs might have to be dealt with. If I see any ladybugs Iā€™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! thatā€™s what i do for my area.
