Happy Tuesday to everyone in the Greggerverse! Iโ€™ve got looots of plant chores scheduled for today (with all kinds of fun stuff โ€” time to experiment with LECA!! Gonna try my Milk Confetti I got last year from the Greg Store first โ€˜cause itโ€™s a drama queen if I miss watering by even just a day), but Iโ€™m behind on reading posts and stuff, too. The Hubster took a mini staycation last week and only went back to work today, so I have a lot of catching up to do. That said, while getting prepped for todayโ€™s festivities and downing some fuel, I just wanted to shoot out a quick post to say thank you to @TheConservator for giving DD2 and me a shoutout on #TheThread last week (quality time with one of my girls, and ofc, WILLIE!! WoOt!!), and also to Drew @RJG) for featuring Herman Monsteraโ€™s badass new leaf on this past #FreshLeafFriday (itโ€™s not hardened off yet, but itโ€™s getting HUGE)! Herman (nor any of my other plants) have ever been featured before and it was actually really kind of an awesome feeling to have my fave plant recognized in such a way, especially since we live in a part of the world where itโ€™s a struggle to get the humidity level in the house up to even just 30%. I mean, just to have a large tropical plant like Herman be able to attain such growth in my care at all is short of miraculous. In my opinion anyway. And last but not least, a big thanks to all of you that commented and offered congrats and whatnot on all of these posts and pictures! You guys, one and all, make this app such a fun and amazing community that Iโ€™m proud to be a part of! A special shoutout to some of my peeps on #TheThread, who, even when life is hurling lemons, always manage to be positive and chipper, and make the best damned social media lemonade around! (Iโ€™d tag you all, except I canโ€™t remember everyoneโ€™s handle, but, YOU know who you are. ๐Ÿ’‹) Hope everyone has a terrific Tuesday and wonderful week all around! Keep rockinโ€™, gang! โค๏ธ #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PlantLove #TropicalPlants #Hydroponics #LECA #RepotSeason #SelfWateringPlanter #PON #Syngonium #AlocasiaAddicts #Monstera #MonsteraMob #PLANTMAFIA #GregPlantShop #GregGang #GreggersSupportingGreggers #OrchidLovers #HisLobster #TheHubster

I want Monty to be strong like bull

Trimmed back a big stalk from my Monstera and was able to propagate 4 cuttings. Bringing this baby to work with me #PropagationStation #plantbabies

Why is my monsteras leaves yellowing?

Finally got a Monstera! And a little polka dot plant to go with it! #HappyPlants

What is this thing?

Is this normal?

I got this Monstera as a gift from friends, and itโ€™s my first time with a plant this large. She desperately needs to be repotted - the soil and the drainage needs to be better (I have practice with lots of philodendrons and I know they like chunky airy mix and this guy is similar) my question relates to trying to get her to grow a bit more upright and less to the side. In the nursery here they donโ€™t support them and itโ€™s evident with her going to the side under the weight I think. Iโ€™m trying to figure out if I should remove the pups on there and grow them separately and then try and turn the mother plant so sheโ€™s more straight and then obviously Iโ€™ll pole her. I have no idea what Iโ€™m doing and this girl is so big ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿฅฒ #Monstera
