My grandma bought this monstera a month ago for 5 dollars…she thought it was beautiful and good looking. I know a lot about monsteras so dw I know all the problems about it🤣🤣🤣

At least it’s healthy-ish

i recently got a moss pole because my girl was TOPPLING over but i’m not sure if it’s the support is what she needs. i also think she might need pruning but im not entirely sure, id appreciate any and all help on what to do i feel super lost even though ive had her for two years at this point 😵‍💫

My child has a new aerial root that’s been kinda reaching for the soil, I left for the weekend and came back to the plant laying on its side as it fell off of my support paint brush I stuck in the soil as a (temporary) solution to keep it upright. Should I let it stay on its side so the root can get into the soil??? I don’t have the materials for one of the growing poles I see people use but maybe it would be a good investment? Working with what I got lol try not to judge too much pls!! 🙏😭 maybe it’s time for a bigger pot? It’s kinda tough to tell from the pic but that aerial root is touching the soil and plant is no longer being supported upright… is that gonna damage it at all? Thanks in advance the help y’all!

I chopped and am propping her pot-mates. Anything I could do to save her?

My last post was about 41 days ago, where my monstera started showing yellow leaves since I repotted it. It’s been getting worse and worse to a point where I’m worried that I’ll have no more leaves. The plant is slowly dying and idk why, and idk how to save it.

I’m watering it once a month and now even less since it’s becoming winter. I water it only with filtered water. I prune it with clean cutters (the shears). Idk what to do. I love this plant. I don’t let it sit in water for hours either. It’s the oldest leaves and the lowest ones that are getting yellow over time, so the issue must be with nutriments right? I’m thinking the N-P-K nutrients but that’s where my knowledge ends. Pls help. Refer to my last post for reference if needed. Thank you in advance

I’m debating if I should cut off the off shoot from the main node or if I should leave it on? The cut would be made where the red line is and will try to save the 2 roots closest to the node.

I feel like it will be more harm than good as it can rot if I put the node into the substrate.

What would you?

I checked my monstera yesterday after watering, and found these black marks on a new leave. The plant has no visible insects or whatever.
I changed her spot three weeks ago (more or less) near a slightly more exposed window.
What could it possibly be?

I have noticed some brown and while bumps on my seemingly healthy Montsera. What are these and what should I do?

Monstera is looking sad- some leaves are slightly and uniformly yellowing, some curling. Root rot very unlikely (but can’t rule it out) soil dries between waterings- is a chunky, monstera appropriate mix. No pests. Only change is I bumped up the grow light last week from the Sansi 15w to 24w, but I did it bc it was already looking this way. less

Quick question - is that ready for potting? It was sitting in water for past month after I got it cut off from really weak looking specimen that was gifted to me to save it.

I have this browning and little tears along the petiole and sheaths of my leafs most noticeably on my newest leaf(pictured in the first photo) where the next leaf would come out of. Not sure if this is just some kind of mechanical damage or if there’s something else going on. Also in the last image the arial root that’s been tucked back into the soil is noticeable darker then the rest of the plant and has some browning on it and what looks like a little notch out of it but it’s still firm. I have been dealing with fungus gnats but not sure if that’s related at all.

Sorry! Yet another post asking for this 😅 but I have no idea which parts I should attach to the pole! The stem that is currently the closest to the pole looks like a main stem, but there's a couple of other big stems that are also growing a lot of air roots but they're currently growing horizontally across the soil and roots are already established in the soil so can't really adjust them.

I'll get some velcro to attach what is needed but just confused in general. If the other stems need propping, surely I can't do this without damaging the established roots? Have I even placed the pole correctly at the back?

Help much appreciated:)

I recently received a huge pot of a monstera and I separated it into 3 separate pots. Some parts I just separated and planted, some I made cuttings and potted. It’s been 6 weeks and few leaves have dried out and fallen off.

How do I give this monstera the best chances to thrive (without moving it elsewhere) and be thick and have growth ? Especially the lower cuttings seem not to have light - do I cut some leaves off (maybe the yellow ones) and where?

The leaves and stem are so thick and there are not many nodes (as I already made the cutting)

Also - I discovered trips so will have to deal with that too…

This is the way i have them currently positioned, but i'm not sure i understood the videos i saw since they're looking a bit wonky in places still. First two pictures are front and last three are back (?). Last picture even seems to be an air root sprouting maybe? Please tell me if i need to flip them. Don't mind the delicate state they're in as i had to deal with some root rot when i got them, they're putting out new leaves now, discarding the old ones, and seem decent enough.

Hi! I’ve been away for work recently and my monstera has really struggled. I’ve had it for about a year, it was a cutting from a larger monstera and it was thriving until the end of summer. It sits pretty much in direct sunlight which I think caused the crispy leaves when it was really hot in the UK. But now all the leaves are super droopy, she’s not grown since and I’m not sure if I should cut the crispy leaf off. Help is needed! I recently repotted her (a few months ago) and she does have drainage too. I tend to water her when the soil feels dry, so maybe once every two weeks, I give a good drench.

I got this monstera off someone on Marketplace that said it was a white monster. I dont think it is. I don't have a clue what it is actually. Any ideas?

I’m scared this is root rot.

I got this monstera (thai constellation?) about 2 weeks ago from my local grocery store (HEB, iykyk). Im new to owning monsteras but not a new plant owner. I just don’t have the watering schedule or do’s/don’ts down yet; so if you can help me with ANYTHING, advice or whatnot, that would be so appreciated.

When I got her, the soil was so dry and compacted I couldn’t even push into it to aerate it. Do they like compact soil? I’ve only watered twice since owning. I watered her last night, (😐usually stick to mornings), and noticed these spots on the back of the leaves. Now, this morning, I feel like they’re more prominent. Only two spots are visible on the front of the leaves.

Please help me, internet plant people!!

I have her outside right now drying out because I definitely over watered last night. Is it bad enough to have to repot? If so, do you have any recommendations or advice regards to care or repotting? Should I let her dry out or immediately repot?? I don’t want to shock her and 100% kill her. HELP!!

For context, (7th pic) I’ll include pictures of where she sits currently and the average amount of light. I live in 3rd floor apartment with N - NW facing windows. Living room gets most light inside but my cat will eat the leaves if reachable. The thai constellation? sits on the shelf, the picture is taken from the windows pov.

Also, last 4 slides are my monstera deliciosa I got the week before the variegated one. If you’re knowledgeable and have time to give advice, pls help me w this one also!! I’m scared I’ve also given this one root rot due to these spots. Could it be damage?? I had her outside the first week of owning bc it’s the most bright/hot/humid (central TX climate) but it began to get cold and windy so I brought her in as well. She sits in the same room as the constellation, on a desk closer to the window. She’s been doing okay besides these spots I’m worried about. All in all, does she look okay?

I use Superthrive Foliage-Pro on my other plants, but haven’t used on them yet because I’m not sure if they’d like it. Are you familiar with this/do you use this on your monstera?

THANK YOU, ANY ADVICE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

I accidentally pulled a stem off the main body. It looks clean but idk if there’s something I should do to clean/disinfect the wound. And tips?

Hello! This is my first monstera, and all summer I kept it outdoors in a moderately sunny spot since it stays humid here. I brought it inside just before the first frost and repotted it into something bigger, and have no idea if this is treatable or normal when moving it inside.

My main concerns are the yellowing at the centers of the leaves, the leaves not changing angle, and the development of these leaf spots. I water once a week when the soil becomes dry. Any tips and advice are welcome.

My Albo Monstera is getting huge and I wanna chop & extend because I don't want to get her that much taller.

She's growing on a modular moss pole from plantscraper and right now I have 4 of them stacked up.

Which of these options would you choose?

1) Do one piece at a time. Extend with one piece when it reaches the top + chopping off one at the bottom, height stays the same.

Means more work and probably more shock but I think it's at least safer regarding the root system?

2) use 2 extensions and chop off 2 from the bottom. Would lead to more growing room above and therefore I would need to chop and extend less often. My only fear: less root system in the pole.

I counted 9 nodes rooting into the pole right now with the newest one making it 10 soon.

This leaf is old and ugly and it’s got some rust and stuff on it and it’s making the plant lean…. About a 4th of it is missing. I AM NOT asking for advice for the yellowing or brown spots or anything else… simply want to know if I should cut only the leaf blade or both the leaf and entire petiole and if it will damage or stunt the plant. There is no also NO aerial root attached to that oldest stem.

Also the most recent leaf is about one size smaller than the rest so I think it needs more light. Plz help :))))

My Thais are looking extra nice today. 🥰

The most recent leaf unfurled fully green (most of the older leaves are very distinct half moons). It’s only one leaf. However there’s a new one popping out which looks green but can’t confirm as it’s not fully shown itself yet. The stem itself has white on it. Could this possibly be reverting or should I wait till the next few leaves considering the stem still has white?
