Monstera Madness!! My main monstera deliciosa that I've had for a full calendar year now has been growing nonstop, she's now a bit over 30lbs and up to my waist! (picture on the far right is when I first got her). She's growing wide, pulling out her support sticks, so I'll have to repot in a larger vessel with an even sturdier stake sometime in the spring. For now, tying her to the bookshelf that's drilled into the wall will have to do πŸ˜† The camera doesn't do her size any justice! #Monstera #MonsteraMonday #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #HappyPlants #NewGrowth #GregGang
What about a moss plank (like a 2x4) rather than a pole and see if u can help train her to cling to it rather than the bookshelf. R u over feeding her? It’s like the Stay-puf marshmallow from Ghostbusters!! Anyway I would try the board covered in moss even if u can only get her around a couple rotations and resume later. She needs some direction (sending pic of what I got from Amazon)
My monstera isn't nearly this happy!! What are your secrets?!
Crazy! My monstera doesn't have anywhere near the number of leaves you have. Mine only has 3 sad leaves for the size of her.
@VividCanadaplum haha thank you! And honestly, I just mostly ignore her! πŸ˜†
@Catplantaddict Thank you! You'll get there eventually!! Next thing you know, it's growing too fast for you to keep up!
@BuffCaperspurge Thank you! I'll have to try the moss board. And nope! Only feed during the growing season, I have other monsteras that are growing exceptionally fast on their own as well! Just a bunch of happy plants!
Mine are pitiful compared to this one! It’s beautiful!
@JauntyEdelweiss I use grow lights so it’s always growing season here! I use 1/4t SuperThrive vitamins in a gal of filtered water for feeding as I water and I’m getting great growth
@JauntyEdelweiss let face it friend, u.r just the Monstera whisperer!!! P.S. can u come whisper to mine? (He’ll, yell if u need to! lol)
