How to fertilize Archipelago Swiss Cheese Plant

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Archipelago Swiss Cheese Plant after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Deliciosa vs Borsigiana How do I tell what kind of monstera I have? #HappyPlants #PlantAddict #MonsteraMonday #TropicalPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #NewPlantMom

Monstera Propagation! So, per recommendation, I am attempting to propagate my monstera for the first time! From a bit of research, I know i need a node and an axillary bud, but i’m having a bit of trouble identifying the axillary bud. would i need to cut at 1 or 2 (as labeled in the picture)? I’m also adding a cutting from my golden pothos as i’ve heard that it’s abundance of rooting hormones help!

Happy Friyay! New leaf coming out on my monster monstera #freshleaf #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #HappyPlants #NewGrowth #Monstera

To pole or not to pole? I've seen many people mention moss poles with their Monstera. Mine is definitely starting to grow outwards rather than up but I believe that's to access the light and she isn't huge yet or anything.... Should I get a moss pole and is there a particular "type" I should get? Pictures show her currently, apologies at the bad quality and ignore the messy room! #monstera #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #mosspole #monsteramob #newplantmom

I have these two beautiful plants that are giving some brown spots but otherwise seem kinda healthy. Anyone have any advice to nurse them back to health? Not sure of any particular brand of fertilizer to use, any suggestions? #Philodendron #help #ThaiConstellation #PlantLove

Monstera Trouble? Hi Everyone. My big, beautiful monstera suddenly got this discoloration on a couple leaves. It’s still healthy and thriving despite this, new growth coming in and very happy dark green leaves everywhere else. But two of the leaves have this discoloration on them. It’s not on the surface; I can’t brush or clean it off. But it’s not like a brown crinkly spot as if it were needing more water (it’s watered regularly). The whole plant is huge and generally a pretty easy pal to care for. But I’m not sure what to do about this or if I should just leave it alone? #MonsteraMonday #Monstera #MonsteraMob
