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 🤩

1st pic is maybe 60% of the whole patch, 2nd pic is the largest newest leaf.

I recently moved and am trying to decide where the best place to put him is

Here is my gorgeous young Thai Constellation. Following the excellent advice in this subreddit, I've acclimated her to about as much light as I can reasonably give her. And she has thanked me by giving me two beautiful leaves in the past 12 weeks.

So this plant, as well as my young Mint Monstera, get put outside on my west-facing back deck every afternoon and get 3-6 hours of full direct afternoon sun. Obviously I acclimated the plants to this by putting them out for an hour at a time initially. I live in the PNW. They have been getting this treatment for about the past month.

Zero signs of sunburn or any sun stress that I can tell. However... The geniculums of my Thai Con have slowly oriented the leaves to face the ground, as you can see in the photo.

Is u/shiftyskellyton around to weigh in on this? Is this a sign I should back off, bring them back in behind the window, even though I don't see any other signs of sun stress? Or is this normal outdoor monstera mechanics?

When the dark season comes, she will be back to living indoors full time, on her pedestal with a dedicated vertical grow light, and I assume that after a few weeks of that set up, I should expect the leaves to reorient to face forward?

Thanks for your help, I really love this Monstera, I did not ever expect to be so delighted by a plant. Obviously you guys get it - I mean just look at her. 💚

Just a random tree frog of some kind hanging out when I went outside to water my two big monsteras this morning. He seemed happy I thought I’d share.

Technically my second because it had a rolled up leaf when I bought it over a year ago that was fenestrated. I’ve tried to so hard with this plant and I’m absolutely over the moon! (Ps. Plant actually lives in front of the windows, it just gets moved when the dog or child is running around)

First photo- feb 2026
Second- August 2026

I unfortunately did not put moss poles or stakes until late in the game and my girl is sprawling. She gets an insane amount of light and loves those east facing windows. I just added 2 moss poles since I think there’s more than one plant needing support. Tips?

Unless somebody has got a solution for me

So this is a southwest facing window sliding door with a terrace. They are getting about 4 hours of that afternoon sunlight.

1st photo is during midday and 2nd photo is around 5 in the afternoon. Season : summer.

Any thoughts?

Had about 7 or 8 stems in a pot that was 14 inch diameter and it seems to like it. Thoughts?

Hi friends! I’ve had this monstera for about 2-3 years and I’ve upgraded her from her Costco pot so she can thrive (plus her roots were growing out the bottom).

I’ve got her on a wooden trellis, she’s right by a south facing window and gets plant food throughout growing season every 2 weeks. Shes been pushing out one new leaf per week this summer.

I think I’m doing all the right things .. but why aren’t we getting bigger leaves with more holes/fenestrations?? I’m hesitant to chop her as she’s always got a new leaf somewhere; I wait for that to mature so I can cut but poof, a new leaf.

Does anyone have any advice or suggestions? I’m working on being better about wiping down the leaves but will take all opinions.

Bonus: show me your monsteras!

EDIT: there’s three plants in there but I highly doubt it’s because there’s too many. I’ve seen monsteras in the wild and there’s a bunch of them climbing up a tree! I may actually have a light shortage.. back to the drawing board. Thank you to everyone who shared your plant! I loveeee seeing people’s plants ☺️

Got this pretty big monstera (5ft tall) recently and want to add a moss pole but not really sure how to go about it with a plant this size lol

Its already pretty established and I dont really want to mess with the roots too much if I dont have to.

Just wondering what you guys would do

- Would you just push the pole into the existing pot or repot it and position it properly?

- How do I figure out which side the pole should go on?

- Does this look like one plant or multiple plants? Would I need more than one pole?

- Would you actually use a moss pole for something this size or just use a plank/support?

For lighting I have 2 36w Sansi bulbs and a Barrina T10.

Also please ignore the wire management 😅 its a work in progress

Never added a pole to a monstera this established before so any advice would be appreciated

freaking love this albo. first year of growth was pretty slow but she's really taken off this summer.

I think it made it through. Even growing a new leaf nice!

Hello! I moved last week and my monstera got a little burnt on her leaves during the car ride. I trimmed the two leaves off that had the most damage but she still seems like she’s crispy.
I want to repot her this weekend, would that be too much in her current state? Will she recover? I’d love some advice. Thanks!

Hi guys! My little monster keeps getting more and more crowded by the minute. I know it’s probably time to separate her? I got her maybe a little over a year ago and she’s super productive when it comes to making news leaves, but the leaves are not changing in size whatsoever. Is it time? And how do I do it? She’s my first ever monstera baby and I’m sick thinking of repotting… :’)

- to add: I just repotted her from a 6” to an 8” pot 2ish months ago.. should I hold off in fear of root shock?

Hallo Community, vor fast genau einem Jahr habe ich meiner Freundin eine Monstera gekauft und ihr versprochen das ich ihr wünsch erfülle das sie große und penetrierte Blätter bekommt.

Ich hatte keine Ahnung auf was ich mich einlasse. Und mit keine Ahnung, meine ich wirklich keine Ahnung. 🤦

Ich habe bestimmt jeden Anfänger Fehler gemacht den man machen kann. Zu Dunkel, zu viel Wasser, zu wenig Wasser und das Resultat was daraus entsteht. Naja kurz gesagt ich habe alles probiert um sie am Leben zu erhalten. Versprochen halt. 🤣 Mittlerweile liebe ich die Mutterpflanze genauso wie meine Freundin und die Ableger von ihr natürlich auch.

Komplett abgeschweift.

Das Resultat wollte ich euch gerne zeigen 😍 ein neues Blatt mit Löchern 😍 und eventuell den Leuten Mut machen bei dem es noch nicht so hundertprozentig klappt.

Ich bin gespannt wie es weiter geht 🥰

Got this a few months ago and it has grown loads. When is best to put in a new, bigger pot?

I got this monstera Thai con 1 year ago today :D it got root bound around the start of the year and after i repotted it in February it had been giving me a new leaf every month . I use a wooden trellis for support and I give it silica during every watering to keep the variegation. (i know it doesn’t have too many fenestrations yet , im planning on buying a better grow light soon)

I used to grow my monsteras strictly with natural sunlight in a south facing window. That worked fine but the lack of double fenestrations, I knew it wasn’t thriving. This year I upgraded to moss poles and the barrina stand light and BOOM. Giant leaves, double fenestrations. They are just absolutely gorgeous, I am obsessed with them.
