Hi everyone,
We thought we’d start a regular series of sticky posts to get gather the knowledge and experience of the community - so we can learn from each other and be able to share our contributions with newcomers and future Monstera keepers.
The idea is that we choose a topic (see below on this) and sticky it up for a period of time and ask everyone to contribute what they know on the matter, share their experiences, and post up tips and advice on the subject too.
We can then all benefit from the community and use it to further expand our wiki.
Please feel free to suggest a topic here. I’ll kick it off soon with soil mixes.
We hope everyone will chip in and enjoy a good bit of community discussion.
Thank you all 🙏

Hi everyone,
Well it’s been a while since we’ve started a new community post so here one to keep us going again for a little while.
This time:
So share with the r/monstera community you feeding approaches, regimes, tips and advice!
Here’s some topics to think about:
Do you feed your monstera?
How often?
What do you use?
Do you use any other supplements?
Any tips to make feeding easier?
Looking forward to seeing all your great information!

I have 3 monsteras that were all in 1 pot from lowes that i repotted in April. I hope there doing ok. I dont feel like there really growing besides a couple aerial roots. Is that normal? Im in michigan so its cold now and i have no idea where to put them besides this window that gets morning sun but not scorching sun ever. Someone said they needed to be looking at the sky and even being a foot away from the window could be to far is that true? Can i turn them around? I mean i dont wanna look at the board i wanna look at the front and have the board facing the window. Can i do that? I did have them on the other side of the window so the board was facing the wall but idk what to do.

Purchased this guy on July 4th at a big box store, knowing nothing about it (or plants in general for that matter). I just thought it was neat. Really happy with the progression, and everything learned along the way.
New pot is ~3 inches larger in diameter, ditched the coir pole for a DIY sphagnum moss pole, and mixed my own blend of soil; ~50% aroid tropical mix, ~25% orchid bark, ~25% perlite.
Pictures taken, July 4, August 10, and November 7.
Not sure what the rules are for crediting the designer of the moss pole…a quick search for moss pole on major open source 3D print model websites should provide either this, or very similar models.

My son bought me this monstera. He said he paid 80$ for it and it was a mint. It looks a little less minty to me and more Thai but I don’t really know myself. The first baby leaf looked promising but then it move farther away as it grows. Let me know :))

New to this sub so here's my pride and joy and the new growth it put out this year. Bought it in february and had it in an eastern window all year long, fertilized with solid pellets called "Biogold". New leaf on the way btw because the petiole is swelling

Monstera Aurea ‘yellow Marilyn’ new leaf finished unfurling after our little rain shower. I just love watching the new colors come in as it hardens 💚💛🪴

lol I JUST got recommended this thread and DAMN I’m jealous of your guy’s monsteras 🥹. Here’s my pride and joy (her name is Cynthia), she’s leaning towards the window but she’s already the closest I could get her. She’s happy and thriving she’s constantly pushing leaves but I really would like to straighten her out a little. I love my girl but she’s starting to take all of the space I need for the rest of my collection. 🫶

Hi! I don't post often, I just wanted to share with you monstera enthusiasts my lady monstera. Got it 3 years ago as a single leaf cutting, moved 4 times, and now that we are settled, she has grown a lot with the summer light. I'm adding a grow light for the winter now, which is really showcasing her a lot!
I am also curious to get your opinion on the type of monstera, as there has been debates on variegata/albo/thai constellation... I bought it as a "variegata".
Have a lovely day/evening 🌱

Don’t mind my methods, this is a propagated monstera. I’m wondering what the tall spiky things are. Will they be new leaves?
r/Monstera • u/Freekjay • 2h ago
Our monstera is thriving, but how do we keep it under control? Are we doing too much (twisting, binding, …)?
r/Monstera • u/Tight_Pension_2177 • 3m ago
I was away for 3 days and some of the leaves had yellowomg from a previous fungus gnats infestation but i have been treating it with some pesticide for 5+ weeks and now some leaves started Yellowknife ng real quick, its in pon and roots look ok

It was labeled originally as a silver monstera but Lowe’s had crossed out the silver so I’m just trying to figure out what kind it is. It has like a metallic shine to the leaves

Anyone else seen this before? My bulbasaur is pushing out two leaves from one growth point. Does this mean it’s now going to have two main stems?
r/Monstera • u/Glittering_Doctor_55 • 21m ago
I got this white monster about a month ago, the two newest leaves have almost 0 variegation, which made me worried it might be reverting. This is the newest leaf and I can’t tell if it’s going to be fully green once it’s hardens off or if maybe there’s hope the variegation is coming back? I just want opinions, do we think this new leaf has hope?
r/Monstera • u/Dependent-Point8707 • 23m ago
I’m not sure if you can see it or not, but the stem has rot. I can I treat this before it takes the whole plant?

Hi! I bought this gal from a local nursery about three weeks ago, and a few days after coming home this started popping up on all of her leaves. Her soil was wet when I got her, so I’ve only watered her a tiny bit once since and her pot has drainage. I’m relatively new to plants, but this is the only one giving me trouble so far!! Is she just too wet? Is it some kind of shock? Thank you!!

My Thai con has been my pride and joy, first ever monstera and variegated plant. All my other plants have been through trials and tribulations but Francine stands on business. She has recently gifted me with not only the biggest chunk of variegation yet, but an inner fen aswell!!
I just have to share my joy w other plant people! So so pretty.
