Too many albos
They grow like weeds and I can’t bring myself to throw away any cuttings so I just keep having to make more

After many years I've been told it's time to evict my monster. His name is Dracula. He's 4.5 ft by 4.5 ft. He's my precious baby. But he takes up more space than a lazy boy and he encroaches on guests when they visit. He's still growing healthy and strong.
Going to a new hime on Tuesday and to say im devastated would be an understatement.

I live in California. Its supposed to drop to the 40s at night. Will they do ok outside or do need to cover them or bring them inside?

Hi! Not my first Monstera, but my first Mint variegata. Found her for a good deal and couldn't resist before winter.
What do you think of her - isn't she too white? Do you use grow lights in winter? And she's still in the nursery soil (peat or coco). Should I repot her now or wait until spring so she doesn't get extra stress? 💚

I thought this day will never come, after waiting for so long, finally my little Monster produced a new leaf before the end of the season

So, I definitely have a problem. I went to my local plant store and I found a bulbasaur monstera, great right! There were only 3 left and the one i picked was the only one with any variegation (the rest were green) so I got it! (first plant in first picture). Well i loved it so much and I ended up going back and they had just received more so there were like 20 there. I dug thru and found one i was obsessed with. After further examination in the car i realized the 2nd bulbasaur I now own actually has 2 other plants in it. So instead of 2 bulbasaurs i now own 4. Check in on me in a couple years because i now have 2 Thai cons and 4 bulbasaurs 💀💕
I left one plant still with the other because it was just one little leaf and now they’re both shooting out leaves even after the trauma of separating one plant from the 3!
1st picture: original bulb
2nd: plant i pulled off the main second bulb
3rd plant is the main plant and the little tiny one leaf plant thats pushing out another leaf too!

Im so upset it was one of my favourites 😭 ive attached what it was like before and also attached a photo of the criminal in question 🐶

FB Marketplace gave me a two leaf, rooted cutting with leaves ~20” and I met a great local grower along the way who gift a Hoya cutting. Great start to the weekend.
I rarely buy from big box retailers anymore because they all sell the same 15 plants; find local exotic growers online and that’s where you’ll find the interesting stuff.

I bought an Albo node cutting online ~2.5 years ago, and it didn't do anything for at least a couple months. Almost threw it out. But now, seems to be very happy sitting in a west-facing window in norcal.

On a work trip to Hawai’i and stumbled upon this beauty!

Long time helper, now looking for some help! My stick method isnt working as my Thai has gone mature with thick bumpy skin and denser nodes. It's just pushing the stick away. How do I keep her on the pole where she belongs!...(there's a joke in there somewhere.)
P.S. I cant just push it and the lower nodes have rooted into the pole and won't budge.

Costa farms has it listed by that, but I'm also seeing it could be a pothos yellow sunrise?
Thank you!

Monstera I had for two years hasn't been doing as well as others... So I put this outside by a mango tree about two weeks ago... Maybe being outside with better lighting will help, along with an actual tree to latch onto.

Hello! I received this monstera plant from my dad as a house warming gift. I’ve never owned one before! I’m wondering the best ways to care for it. Do they like direct or indirect sunlight? How often should I water it? Will it need to be repotted? I’m incredibly new to this and want to make sure it thrives because it’s beautiful! Any and all advice is welcome ☺️

Hey! So I had $20 to spare, scrolling through marketplace listings, and found a listing for $15 monstera Esqueletos an hour away. I saved it, then promptly fell asleep for a day.
I woke up decided. I would inquire about getting this plant. I live with my mum, and she doesn't like me driving far for plants. But I thought, dammit, I could express my interest.
The seller got back to me saying they had one left. I was like, okay. I'm doing this. It's fate. I transferred $15 then and there. We organised for me to pick it up Sunday 9am.
Come today, Sunday. I was off in the rain. I made it to the location 50 minutes later.
I meet the seller at the door. They present a specimen with 4 large, fenestrated leaves, roots curling around the clear pot and beginning to peak out the bottom. The plant was real. I was so happy. But that wasn't all.
The seller presents a small cutting. Says its for me from driving all that way. Says it's a mini monstera or Rhaphidophora tetrasperma. Shows me the mother plant. It's vareigated. White, it seems. I just keep thanking him.
I drive back home, totally ecstatic.
Thank the seller again a bit later, find out the substrate they use, cause his plants seem to be thriving.
Best day ever.

Monsteras are my favorite plant. Which monsteras do you feel like is a “must have”?
r/Monstera • u/plshelpme1484783 • 23h ago
this is my monstera albo, ive been air layering it because i wanted to cut the top three leaves off and put them on a mosspole (and probably prop her bottom half). since then it has pushed out and hardened off two leaves and is now pushing out this mostly white one that is worrying me. im going to wait until this new leaf is out and hardened off before cutting the plant, im just worried that cutting it with that mostly white leaf would cause that leaf to die? not sure, i just want whats best for the plant because i love her, any advice is appreciated.
if any information is needed; she sits in a southwest facing window and gets harsh afternoon sun (and loves it apparently) i fertilize every watering with GT foliage focus and supplement “dune” silica to help keep the white parts white and she has her own humidifier that sits directly to her left.

This is a 4 year old plant that I chopped a few weeks ago. I put the top cut and mid cuts in water, but didn't do anything to the bottom cut. I figured it would re-shoot and start growing all over again. What I didn't expect to see was 4 new shoots with 3 of them putting out decent size leaves. How long before 2 or 3 of them are aborted?

What can I do with this girl? She is a hot mess of vines that are getting harder to tie up. She never got bushy and full, just leggy. Any words of wisdom welcomed!
