Help me name my new Monstera π€βΊοΈ
Just picked up this beaut from Lidl ($12!!). My first ever Monstera and by far my biggest plant thus far - a single leaf of this guy is bigger than any of my other plants (I have mostly succs). I have no idea how to care for him yet, so any and all tips are welcome - but first, I need a name that suits him.
What do yβall think? Send any and all name suggestions (or care tips) my way! ππ±

Don't sleep on #Lidl ! They are AWESOME for plants! Just make sure you change out the soil.
Also, make sure you join the #DMVGregGang as I'm moving across country and will be selling tons of plants!!
@AwesomePlants 100%! My only regret is not checking out #Lidl sooner. I buy a plant almost every time Iβm in π
Good tip on the soil; wouldnβt have thought of it. Joined #DMVGregGang! Will look out for your posts π€π½
One thing I've found with the UK Lidl is they are BAD for having mesh cages on the root balls! So please check when you get repot! I nearly lost one just recently because I missed one of the damned things!!
Totally agree though @awesomeplants my local Lidl has had some great plants in this last year (& some crap ones, and they take ZERO care of them so you have to really dig in to find the best one π). They were selling 4-5ft structural plants for Β£13 back in November! I didn't have space at the time sadly π but I have picked up a few nice plants (including a variegated Schlumbergera! It was the only one amongst a bunch of standards π₯³). And we none of us mind a good rescue do we?! π Xx

@JenniB81 Ahh, it drives me nuts when stores stock plants and totally neglect them! Makes me want to save them all! π
Good tip about the mesh cages - I've only bought 3-4 plants from Lidl so far and none of them have had the mesh inserts. But I know exactly what you're referring to, I had to rip one of those suckers out of my friends pothos that'd been stuck in there for years π₯² I haven't gotten a chance to repot my monstera yet, but will definitely look out for it!
Lucky you on finding the Schlumbergera! Love getting my hands on the last of the batch π±π
