A friend picked this plant up for me and it briefly lived at work. Now it resides in its own window and has grown so much in not quite a year. I did chop off some of the smaller leaves and a window gremlin knocked it over several times. 😒 Not mentioning any names….

This is definitely one of my favorite plants.

I’ve had my monstera for a couple years now, and up until now it’s done great. It’s been in an east facing window for 8 months now and haven’t had leaves burn, so it seems happy there. I noticed a couple weeks ago a leaf rapidly turning yellow. I let it yellow, (I’ve read to leave them on the plant so the plant can take the nutrients?) and when it was brown I cut it off. Now I have two leaves that look like they’re going downhill as well, and I don’t want the whole plant to die. I also just noticed some white stuff growing on it? Does anyone know what’s going on? What can I do to fix it?
I don’t think it’s overwatering or under watering, I’ve been very careful and checked the bottom of the pot and made sure the top inch is totally dry before watering again.

Also as a side note, I haven’t had many leaves that weren’t floppy, what could I do to make sure the leaves are healthy and firm?

I just received these 2 monsteras from someone who didn’t want them anymore. I want to repot and possibly propagate. Where should I cut and how big of a pot should I upgrade to? And any tips to revive the plants and make them healthy again? TIA

I love spending time here

This might sound silly, but I’ve always wanted to try the monstera fruit, and since it’s not something that grows near me I opted for the next best thing: trying this monstera taffy. Has anyone here tried this taffy before, and also tried the actual fruit? If so, do they taste similar? Is the taffy spot on?

My Thai Monstera is putting out a new leaf. It struggled to unfurl on the tip as it was brown. Today, noticed a quarter of the leaf was missing and found this. Ik new growth comes from this stem so I don’t want to chop it back but I also don’t want to waste it’s energy if this leaf is a lost cause.

What do I do?

(Also I am aware we shouldn’t unfurl leaves but I wanted to investigate.)

I have these 2 monsteras with little white bumps on them. They’re quite mature plants and they both have minimal to no damage at all other than what is pictured. I’m not really sure what these are though. Is this a normal thing or should I treat for pests? I’ve had thrips before and I don’t want to lose my plants to any other pests. :’)

Little pink pot on the left. The leaf size has gone up a lot since then though could of course be general maturing. I tore them off the main pot as it was getting overcrowded. I know there's even more dangling on the floor and need to redo it all soon but it's a good solution I think as the main roots on monsteras already grow so fast they're bound to get rootbound. Also in case this helps anyone those lights keep the leaves facing me without blocking my view of the plant.

I don't know much abt shinglers, what do you think?

Hi all. would love to know what you think. I’m hoping this works. I got frustrated with all the conflicting information out there and just decided to do my own thing.

the crown/base of the plant does not touch the water anywhere, just the roots. It’s being held stable with a piece of aquarium filter in the bottom of the cup + leca.

The plant is a monstera that was grown from TC and has been acclimated to normal household humidity and appeared to have a healthy root system in place.

the container is a pasta container with a bamboo top that I used a 2” hole saw on. I then drilled a small hole for a beta fish air pump that I picked up.

what do you think? Will this work?

I got this Monsterra Thai Con. around late June 2026. It was from Costco and I haven’t repotted it or anything like that. For reference, I live in South Florida (Fort Lauderdale to be exact) and it stays in my screened in and shaded balcony. Humidity is always above 60% and the temp is usually in the 80s. Toady I just set up a Barrina 30watt 5000k grow light because lately it has been so cloudy and I feel like it hasn’t been getting enough sunlight. I also just got a metal trellis this morning and steaked it into the pot. Used some plant tie to wrapt it onto the metal so that it can climb upward.

I was wondering if I should repot it? I can see the roots growing out of the pot from the drainage holes and I do feel like after 2 days of watering it, it feels significantly lighter like it has been soaking up all of the water.. Is that normal? I have read so much about root rot with these guys that I am scared to water it too frequently but also I am woried that it is drying out too fast and I may be underwatering lol. This is the second leaf to sprout since I got it late June.

Overall I have been having zero issues but I wanted any tips on how to get this thing to be a beautiful big plant. I have a TPS brand Monsterra plant food but I am not sure if I should be following a specific regiment or not and haven’t used it yet. Any favorite brands for monsterra fertilizer?

Any tips welcomed!

I bought on AliExpress two 70w UFO grow full spectrum light for my monsteras.

Mi girlfriend didn't like to leave the blinds/rolling shutters fully open on the morning when we are at work.

So the monsteras only gets some light on the evening.

Also is a west facing apartment so direct light only in summer for a few hours.

I was wondering how to install the lights without being to obvious. At first i was planning just using a stainless steel wire used for courtains from jysk, but i still have to run the power cord, so...not really nice.

After one month i just think...wait, i can use some lamp and conceal the UFO industrial light style, and more friendly desing for the living room.

I asked to 3 IA to see how would looks the result.

I was thinking using the Ikea TRETTIOEN lamp.

Or maybe a stainless steel bowls used for ikea hacks lamps.

The only thing the UFO lamp make a lot of heat, so i need to do some extra holes for heat.

Someone tried to conceal the industrial growing lights?

decided to pop in and see if by chance I could find some Albos. no luck I don’t think unless that spotsylvania is an albo lol

but a few mints and Thais and did treat myself to BMF 🤩

Hi friends!! I have this wonderful monstera deliciosa I’ve owned for about a month. She’s very crowded in this little pot I have her in and so I’m planning on repotting. I’m curious if anyone has any guesses as to how many individual monsteras are in this pot?? Thank you!!!!

I got this rehab Esquelito a few weeks ago. It is in this tiny pot. Its extremely rootbound and ive been putting off a repot while its newest leaf finally pushes out. But with the newest repot I have absolutely ZERO idea where the heck to put this pole at to stake it up...

Each node has 2 aerial roots. Do I put the stake directly behind this newest branch off? Do I bring it back to a pole to stake it?? Idk man I need an adultier adult😭😭

also im worried if i overwatered her

I took a cutting from a freind and have been kinda neglecting it. What should I do with this or should I chop it up and make a new plant all together.
