Hi all! My sister gave me this monstera and Iâm not a fan of how tall it is and how few leaves it has. Currently, each aerial root makes up about a third of the plants total root system, and the roots at the base of the plant make up about one third. What Iâd like to do is cut the bottom of the plant off around the red line in the second picture, and bury the aerial roots in the soil. I also plan to cut off the bottom most leaf as itâs a little rough. Will my monstera survive or is it going to be too much stress for the aerial roots to handle the whole plant?
Update: I did it! It looks so much better and definitely more sturdy as well for now since there isnât so much weight so high up!

Has anyone had any success growing more than one monstera in a single planter? I havnt had success with this plant in the past so I'm hesitant to separate them.
I think I counted 7 individual monsteras in this pot! Crazy that I got this for $19 at Home Depot

This is my new plant I brought him home from science. Any tips are appreciated. He is a sensitive plant also know as a mimosa pudica. Thank you.

This amazing rubber plant (RUBERT IS HIS NAME) arrived in excellent condition from an Amazon seller. I was worried about the white spots on the leaves and I asked Planta AI and they said itâs a normal part of the plant. Itâs calcium storage in the leaves. Thatâs pretty good information!

Iâm trying to start a vegetable garden at home. I have roma tomatoe seedlings along with lettuce and radish seeds planted but Iâm not getting any shoots. Any tips or tricks on getting germination going faster. I also have herb starters basil, green onion, rosemary, oregano, sage and a sad cilantro plant that seems to have given up on me.

Question- is a Monet sol pothos genetically the same as a lemon meringue pothos?
Thanks!

Hello everyone! I am a little confused by this plant. I am not exactly sure what it is, it was given to me as a single leaf rebab last year. It is growing and strong, but the color difference in the leaves is throwing me. Any idea why this would happen? It is a healthy leaf..

Anyone else an accidental plant serial killer?
Iâve decided to go into growing plants and little indoor/outdoor gardens after a back surgery that has limited my mobility. Before this Iâve done aero gardens and little to no effort counter garden kits.
Iâm very much learning by screwing up and Iâm starting to rake up a decent sized plant graveyard. I guess I wonder to what extent is things dying off or being intentionally killed off the norm for gardeners? It feels weird to fail so much.
Ignoring the healthy plants Iâve murdered, see pics, thereâs also things like the âI propagated way too many cosmos and will have to kill 1/2-2/3 of them. That feels⊠weird. But I canât save them all. I think. Thoughts?
