@AmyLea usually when the leaves are coming in smaller it’s a lighting issue. Maybe get her closer to the grow light?
It's not getting sufficient light.
I agree. It’s insufficient light. But that is only one reason.
The leaves on my Pink Princess are also small. 😞 This is what I’m doing:
🌞 These divas require bright indirect light. In the wintertime sunlight decrease. So I purchased a LED full spectrum grow light. You can also find grow light bulbs. Insufficient light will also cause this diva to loose her pink variegation. 😞
πŸͺœ I just ordered a stackable moss pole on Amazon and I ordered Velcro garden ties. These plants in the wild climb up trees. I hoping this moss pole will make my little Diva feel right at home. πŸ™‚
πŸ’¦ Low humidity can cause smaller leaves. The heat from furnace lower the plant humidity. I’m going to keep her moss pole damp, and I hope that alone will increase my plants humidity.
πŸ™ I hope my experience will help your beautiful Pink Princess grow bigger leaves.
That is a cool plant tho πŸ”₯
Monstera cobra is now on my list.
Yes they're really cool and grow pretty fast , hopefully u get one that throws half moon leaves like mine has done recently
