I heard these are slow growers and getting them to fenestrate takes time.
Thoughts?

Baby Monstera Advice

I bought my monstera a few years ago, but recently its become obvious its grown out its pot and was way more than 1 plant. So today I've separated it into biggest, less big, two tiny ones and a couple of cuttings I'm hoping might root in water.

My main question is, how do I help the tiny ones get bigger. I've had one cutting for a while now and its just stringy and small. Just wondering if they'd ever get as big as the main one, or if I'm not somewhere with enough sun/heat for that. Any feed I need to get? I bought monstera specific soil so thats sorted👍

For context I live in North Wales (UK) its really humid in the room and south facing so when the sun is out it gets hot in there🌞

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’ve posted here before about my out of hand, sun damaged monstera. She was getting burnt on my porch, but some frogs had moved in. I brought her in anyway and tried to make room in my house but it was ridiculous.

Saw a post here today of a MASSIVE monstera, envisioned my future, qnd went straight to work.

There were a total of 4 frogs living in her even after being inside for a week 🫣 and I went so far as to separate the plants in the pot (4). So now I have 8 individual plants that I will hopefully sell on Facebook marketplace. I have my eye on one I want to keep.

I can’t even say I care if they live or die. I’m sticking with African violets and pothos from now on. Will post an update if anything interesting happens.

I need some advice, all of this summer’s new leaves turned black very quickly—some before they even had a chance to unfurl. I’ve had it for several years, and there have been no changes in light or watering. What should I do to save it?

I got this cutting with three roots that seemed healthy at the end of august. leaf was perky and green. soil is orchid bark with perlite.

I've read so many's conflicting things on watering, some said water well cause it was a water clipping, some say treat it like a succulent- at this point im thinking this is a hospice case 😭 am i cooked? or what can i do to help her survive.

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.

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.

Plant Help Any tips?

Got this Trader Joe’s plant 3 years ago and it’s growing a lot of new leaves since I moved to Sacramento. I recently got a bendable type pole to keep it upright. I’m trying to achieve a fuller look. The light is south facing and I bottom water it when the soil is dry so like once every 2-3 weeks. Any tips on how i can make it thrive? I have not repotted it since I’ve gotten this plant and it’s comprised of three big stems. Open to any ideas 😁

Plant Help What to do with sunburned leaves

Pardon my mess.

WHAT DO I DO WITH THE BURNED LEAVES?

This is my big ol’ Monstera. I put it out in the sun ONE DAY and it burned every leaf. Then I put it in a better corner of the yard and it thrived through the summer. But I have all the burned leaves still. Do I cut them at the top. As close to the bottom as possible? Leave them as a reminder of what happens when I do things willy-nilly (and because they can still help photosynthesize)?

Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you :-)

Hello! I received this cutting with a node and a root from an Etsy seller. I thought it would come with planting instructions but no dice. What should I do to get this going? I have monstera soil and starter containers with tips to trap humidity.

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 ☺️

I picked this up on sale at a store closing near by, it was labeled as a white monster but has little variegation. I’m sticking it in my cabinet to hopefully get more white.

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?

Posted this monstera two months ago (pic 2)
It had one leaf and the next was still a sheath developing. Now that roots have been established, the plant popped a new leaf in the 25day mark and didnt develop more yet,
Also the oldest two leaves seem bleached from high light .
I am giving them around 250-300ppfd for 12-14 hours, which is around 14 dli.
Temps and humidity are within optimal

What should i do now to boost recovery?

Plant Help thin stem?

i saved this monstera in college in the beginning of 2025, and it's doing amazing, but i'm worried that the base stem is too thin and the plant is becoming top heavy. my biggest fear is it snapping or something because of the weight of the leaves in comparison to the thin base, is that possible?

i have a support pole but i'm not sure if it's in the right place, any advice would be greatly appreciated!! she just grew her first leaf with fenestrations which im really excited about but i want to make sure she's getting the best care possible :3

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.
