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.

Some leaves are turning yellow around the edges, a couple are completely yellow. Looks a little droopy. Is it thirsty or need fertilizer or maybe repotted? #Monstera

Omg it’s too big #Monstera how should I cut her down and propagate this? Before I left for work I noticed it is now bending at the very top because is now touching the ceiling. I want to propagate this and make more fuller. But the roots are in the moss pole. What should I do?

Can you help me with my Monstera Mint? Unfortunately Sol isn’t feeling too hot :( I noticed these intense markings on the undersides only of her leaves. I’m guessing rust fungus. The thing is, I came home today and she’s pushing out a new leaf. Almost like she’s apologizing😂 anyways, does anybody know how I can handle this? Or is she a goner? #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #PlantTherapy #GrowLights

On my Monstera plant I have shoots climbing outside the pot, can I just cut them off? #Monstera

I just finished acclimating my bulbasour TC. The newest leaf has not hardened off yet, but Im hoping it looks more like the second leaf than the first when it’s done🤞
