I never follow rules πŸ˜… Number one rule of having #VarigatedPlants is to keep them OUT of #directsunlight…so I grow mine with direct sunlight πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ They love the sun and don’t even flinch in an extra hot day πŸ’šπŸ’šπŸ’š by the way if you couldn’t tell, I absolutely adore Monstera Deliciosa in any variegation #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #GrowLights #sunlightsaturday #PlantCorner #Monstera #MonsteraMob #RarePlants #PlantLove #GregGang #Greggers #PLANTMAFIA #BuffaloNY
Same here! I don’t follow directions either 🀣! Your plants are doing good though!
@FamouslyAlula83 yes they love the sun, plus I’ve realized they grow faster when they get direct sunlight versus grow lights
I do this with my spider plants they wouldn’t grow until I moved them to direct sunlight they’re doing amazing and sprouting babies left and right 😊
@Popcornjoness
Looking beautiful Aja!
And I agree...Rules are boring anyway 🀣
Mine loves the sun too! Putting into the sun gave me gorgeous giant leaves!
@Popcornjoness I love this! I feel like this β€˜rule’ might come around because people don’t acclimate their plants to bright light properly and burn their plants. 😭 But all my monsteras can’t get enough light! β˜€οΈβ˜€οΈβ˜€οΈ

A β€œrule” that I break is that I repot immediately upon getting a new plant. They are almost always in the wrong soil, which also may have fungus gnat larvae, and they almost always have some kind of rot going on (especially if they were shipped) either too dry or too wet. I can treat them and get them in good soil asap, and then I leave them be for a bit.
@pricklydude who pissed in your coffee? First of all theyre faced that way because thats the way I turned them jackass.
@pricklydude Um, are you okay? There was no reason to respond like this. This is a lighthearted post about her plants..
Anyway, I too love not following rules, I have my monsteras and calathea in a mostly full sun window and they seem to do pretty okay πŸ˜‚ πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ I dream of having a variegated monstera like yours some day!
@DreamMachine same same same! Everyone gets a thorough rinse, pruning and repotting asap. If they survive that, that can stay πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
@Popcornjoness @Stephazar oh dang, did I miss some drama?? 🀣 Did they delete their comment? I don’t see anything! That user has made a number of rude and inappropriate comments over the past several months, completely living up to their user name . Bummer for them that they totally don’t get the Greg community vibe πŸ˜” Maybe we should report any in the future?
@Stephazar also, same Steph! 😊 A handful of my calatheas enjoy their morning sun β˜€οΈπŸ₯° (only my marantas and my roseopicta actually seem to prefer their spot UNDER my plant table in the window πŸ˜… And I think monstera’s actually need way more sun than people think. I mean, they CLIMB TREES to find sunshine! 😜 Or at least monsteras that live with me where I am 45Β° North of the equator πŸ˜…

And YASS Aja @Popcornjoness πŸ™Œ If they survive my immediate cleaning, treating, and repotting, they can stay πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚
@DreamMachine yea, some people are just on the internet to spread negativity. They’re outta here! Wait the monsteras grow outside where you are? If only! My house and yard would be covered in Deliciosa and Alocasia 😩😩😩 how does it feel to live my dream??
@Stephazar I would recommend going the node to plant route for the variegated monsteras. It’s much more cost efficient for sure πŸ‘πŸΎ
@Popcornjoness Yep, what can you do? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ Ignore and move on! 🀣

And ohh, no, no πŸ˜‚ They don’t! I meant; with the strength of sunshine I get (I live in the Pacific Northwest) my monsteras are butted up right next to my south facing window and get as much β€˜sunshine’ as is possible here, indoors πŸ˜… Yeah, if I lived somewhere warmer the outside of my house would literally BE a jungle on the outside too 😁😁
