As I was walking into the grocery store today I came across a bunch of plants on BOGO, so I got both of these beautiful ladies for $30. I couldn’t resist. This is my first shot with a Monstera Deliciosa, so drop all of your tips and tricks! I’ve already ordered a trellis for her that should be here in the next couple days. I’m very excited but also very nervous πŸ˜… #PlantAddict #NewPlantMom #Monstera #MonsteraMob #ZzPlant #monstera
@Kaddy Nice and what a deal.
@ILoveMyPlants I agree! I couldn’t help my self!
Wow what a steal!
The ZZ is gorgeous!
@DanDeLiΓ³n they had so many good plants it was hard to choose!
@Kaddy I can identify with that.πŸ˜…
I have almost no impulse control when I see plants for sale.
@DanDeLiΓ³n same here πŸ˜… I’m cutting myself off after these two I swear!’
@Kaddy Yeah, I’ve said that before.😁
Thrips will be your biggest opp with a monstera!! Maintaining leaf care properly will ensure a healthy monstera. On the other hand that ZZ plant can live in a cave πŸ˜…
Leaf spray for monstera: 2 cups of water, 2 tablespoons neem oil, 1 Tablespoon of peppermint castill soap, 5-10 drops of isopropyl alcohol or hydrogen peroxide! Use what you have but the neem oil helps so much with pests and keeps your leaves looking gorgeous!! Clean when dusty:) Also systemic houseplant pest granules work well on top of the soil too! Yellow sticky traps for fungus gnats!!οΏΌThis covers all bases for my plants!! (This works for any plant!)
High light and infrequent watering for both!
@Hydrahydrangea thank you!!!
@MamaLinne thank you!
I bought 2 ponytail palms at Publix on BOGO too! Good luck with your new plants! 🀩
@HappyPlantMama nice!!! Thank you!
Wow! Niceeeee!
Monsteras are so easy!! I have propped my main plant so many times and each new prop has thrived!! The one thing I learned recently about Monsteras is that you are not supposed to rotate them. Unlike most plants you should leave them facing the same direction (leaves facing towards the light).
I think you got a great deal Kaddy οΏΌ
