I just got a monstera albo and aurea any tips? It’s in a loose potting soil with bark and a lot of perlite.. the aurea was just transferred to soil before purchasing and was a propagation. HELP THEY CANT DIE!

    Stunning!! If you have something glass or plastic that’s large enough, I would make a mini greenhouse for the first week or so of acclimation. Especially the albo because it has such high variegation. Do you have grow lights? Sort of a side note, I don’t have an aurea, but I’ve heard that aurea variegation is sort of “Polaroid,” meaning they might appear all green when they first unfurl, and then the yellow shows up as the leaf hardens off. I just say that because some people think theirs has reverted and chop the top of the plant before they’d actually be able to tell

    I do have a grow light but my Thai constellation and regular delicosa have just been sitting in bright indirect light and have been doing great! Unfortunately I live in an apartment and would have anything big enough to put them in!
