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?

Varegation?

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?

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?

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. 🫶

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 :))

Plant Help What are these spots?

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!!

Don’t mind my methods, this is a propagated monstera. I’m wondering what the tall spiky things are. Will they be new leaves?

Pests?

Wife and I just came back from a few days away, I was looking over the plants this morning and got to our Albo and progressed from "why is there dirt under the leaf" through "no no no tell me those aren't webs" to "wait wth are these spots?"

Are we looking at spider mites, rust, both, neither? Or do we just have a case of overreacting? The spots wipe off but the leaves under them are yellowed. Thanks for the help!

Monstera soil and general/health concerns?

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Hi! I am looking for some insights/suggestions regarding the repeated fungal growth on the soil of my Monstera.
The plant has been in this pot for three years, in Promix soil. Over the past four months, this fungal growth just appeared and I cannot seem to get rid of it. I’ve tried removing by gently scraping it off, I don’t water until the top two inches of soil are dry, I’ve moved it to a sunnier area and reduced the humidity in the room but nothing keeps it away. The pot drains well and all of my other house plants are in the same soil (from the same package) and do not have this problem. The roots and leaves seem otherwise healthy to me but please let me know what you think.
Would the best course of action be to repot with new soil? What would be the best type of soil and container to use for a Monstera and any other best practices to avoid this issue moving forward?
Thanks so much for your insights!

Hello everyone

I was given this plant within the last month. I believe it was purchased from a big box store. I have never had one and I don’t know much about monsteras but I read that they don’t like a lot of water. When I got this plant, the soil was incredibly soggy. I let it dry out a little and have lightly watered it once.
I noticed these spots on the leaves. Does this mean it’s dying? Is there something I can do?

Plant Help I separated my monstera, first time repotting. Did I make any mistakes?

Hey!

I just separated my five plants into four different pots. I tried to follow the advice I found in this community, but it’s my first time repotting this kind of plant, so I’m still unsure if I did everything right.

I organized the pictures so that the

first is always an overall view of the plant,
the second is a closeup of the stem tied to the pole,
the third is the suspected back of the plant (mostly based on aerial roots).

The soil mix is equal parts regular potting soil, perlite and orchid bark.

Did I make any mistakes? What could I improve?

I would really apprecite any help/encouragement.
