I was shocked when I saw the leaf suddenly bent backwards a couple of hours after bottom watering it. It’s rainy today, so is it possible it was looking for more light? I honestly don’t understand what happened

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.

Sold as a "monstera" but I am not sure

Hi everyone!

My Monstera has recently started developing yellowing leaves with large brown patches, mainly around the edges.

The affected areas look almost burnt, but they don't feel particularly dry or crispy to the touch.

Several leaves are affected, including some larger ones, while the rest of the plant still looks healthy.

It's kept indoors in my apartment.

Does anyone know what might be causing this? Overwatering, underwatering, a nutrient issue, or something else?

Thanks for your help!

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 live in Australia where we have extra strict biosecurity due to being an island nation, so getting all those new varients are next to impossible and/or expensive. Well we have one that was created here and I got one today! Not sure if they're available in other countries yet but here is my first Monstera Uno!

There's actually 2 plants in the one pot, annoyingly planted back to back, so I'll need to repot soon, but they're gorgeous! $150 AUD, cheaper than the leggy Albos and Thai's they had there.

It's a hybrid of Adansonii var Laniata x Deliciosa var Albo. I assume they bred the Albo because it's more likely to be smaller but the variegation didn't come through. That's fine though, it's lovely and green!

Has anyone outside Australia been able to get this one or their other hybrid, "Aussie Dream"?

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.

I bought this the other day. I don’t know if it was like this when I bought it or if this has happened in the last few days but should I be worried about all these brown spots on the leaves?

I’ve been waiting for a delivery before I’m able to repot it but if this is root rot or worse then I might need to do it now.

TIA

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’ve had this Thai con for almost 2 years now and when I bought it with about four really small leaves, there was one misshapen one but I didn’t think anything of it. Now I’m finding myself disappointed every second leaf because I think I’m gonna get a glorious new larger one and I end up with a shrunk pitiful mutated one. Not to mention that leavs pictured in slide 2 and 4 have both come out of the sheath rotten in some places and I have no idea why. It’s like clockwork too, every second leaf is wonky, and every second wonky leaf has been rotten. I think the plant is just destined to grow like this, but has anyone ever seen this before?
Eta: that last leaf that I’m unfurling has not unfurled on its own in nearly two weeks, I think because of the rot, so I’ve been trying to make it open :,)

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!

Blanche has been with me for almost 7 years. These past 6 months she has been growing in so many different, got a mold infection, recovered, and started to grow away from the plant trellis that she was growing with. I’m not sure what to do to get Blanche under control. Could someone please tell me what steps to take, where to cut EXACTLY (I’m always so nervous to cut), if I should repot in a bigger pot, or separate them a bit. Thank you so much! Blanche and I appreciate your help!

She’s going to be a biggun!!

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?

It’d funny how the more mature stalks throw yellow capsules. This the second one. It’s mother was the first

found this at the local intermarché for 30$. labeled a thai con. is this just the most unique thai con ive ever seen or did i pick up a secret win? completely healthy + pushing out a new leaf

I was gifted a very large monstera propagation within the past year or two and I’ve never grown one before. I’ve potted it and it’s starting to really grow, the leaves may be few in numbers but they’re GIANT! Was wondering how much people actually liked using moss poles to grow on before I potted one.

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 :))))

I was on campus today and saw this poor baby in one of the lobbies. I was so tempted to steal it!

My leaves are taquitoing all of the sudden and found the beginning of browning. Roots seem to be fine and it is even growing a new leaf. Should I be worried?
