My first plant and it’s been amazing so far! Very beginner friendly. It’s a beautiful plant and the leaves are stunning when the plant starts to thrive. I absolutely love mine.

Keep the soil medium moist but don’t over water. An easy plant for beginners grows fast

Does require attention but I wouldn’t recommend watering it to much. She (Remington) will need support from a moss pole stick when she gets older

Can get very very big. Doesn’t need that much sun but it will not hurt it with a lot of sun either. A stunning plant, brings life in every room

This Abby grows so fast! Leaves get a little bit darker in colour the more it grows, but it still looks healthy. They are tough plants that survive hot weather, too.

Monstera is a must for your indoor jungle. The large leaves will grow holes and slits as the plant matures. I’ve had this one for 3 years now, and it’s been an up and down journey. Not sure how it will end yet. It came with 3 stalks, and unfortunately only one remains, mostly due to a lack of proper care early on. I thought I could get away with a no-drainage potting but that proved disastrous, so now Monster sits in a draining pot that drains into a decorative pot. What a difference!
During growing season it will grow fast, and during dormant season it will completely stop, and seems most vulnerable to losing leaves. When the edges crisp it’s the kiss of death. My monstera kept sprouting new leaves only for them to crisp up as babies. Pruning leaves that are not thriving is a great way to direct its energy to growing healthy new leaves.
Be really careful with plant food. One of my early mistakes was that I probably over fed it, when monstera is so sensitive to what’s in its water that it’s recommended you let the water sit in the can so heavy minerals can settle. I only feed it during growth season.
I’m hoping that this one stalk will sprout enough leaves that I can split and propagate it to fill it back out.
Monster loves to be sprayed daily

Very easy to care for. When given proper nutrition, it will flourish very easily. Strong recommendation for beginner plant parents 💚

They are beautiful plants but they can brown easily (which is not your fault) and apparently attract pests but I’ve had mine since March 2021 and have not noticed any.

This is my longest plant I’ve owned! She’s pretty forgiving when I forget to water her, and looooves the bright sun my apartment brings in. I just wish I could get her to put out leaves a little bit quicker!
