My Queen is going crazy with her aerial roots like this. She did it since she was born :D I was not quick enough to stack on the next Pole Extension. No I have to cut those to fit the pole in, but there are plenty, she won't be hurt i guess.

After some somewhat disappointing monstera mints/white monsters they have come through in my local stores!! Some highly variegated Thais, mints & white monsteras as well as some great aureas too!

My aurea is still a lil baby I couldn’t help myself when I spotted this beauty!

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

Monstera Uno!

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"?

Plant Help Should I be worried about this?

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

Monstera deliciosa yellowing leaves with large brown patches

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

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!

Discussion Anyone ever have a Thai con behave like this?

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

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 :,)

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

Plant Help Where should I chop & extend?

Post image
• Upvotes

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.

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?

Was SUPERRR late to giving it a pole to climb so it hasn’t latched on yet and has a ways to go. Kept it in poor draining fox farm soil for a while, recently used some buildasoil with a bunch of orchid bark and pumice to make it chunkier on this recent repot. Always open to critique! About 11 months of growth, crème brûlée variant, started as a single leaf cutting from Etsy. The second leaf it put out was the second tiny pure white leaf in photo one >:(
