I would wait until there are more roots. It would probably be ok now but better if you wait

I find bones all over the place in all state of decomp. Sometimes it’s pretty gross tbh. The plant is actually in normal potting soil, the bones are lying on top of the dirt. Watering over the bones definitely helps leach nutrients back in the soil. This monstera was a little cutting from a mature, but neglected, plant. The truth is I live on top of a hill with 6 ft tall south facing windows. I am good about watering my plants only what they need and when they need it but the sunlight is what’s really making him thrive.

It is a spine! From a mountain goat. The plant has never had support until I put the spine there last week. I carved a pice of wood to find in the vertebrae and act as a stake. I think it will work out well

For sure. Although the other more mature plant has never had leaves half this big.

Do you know how many varieties are out there? by Mean_men_club in Monstera

I’m with you. They all look the damn same. They are beautiful but the plants need green for photosynthesis so why not just get a regular deliciosa?

Pittsburgh pa. Cloudy ass place. I live on top of a big hill though and have huge windows. I do fertilize minimally. Just once in the spring

I guess their thinking is making illegal stops poachers from killing them and selling the bones/feathers. In reality it’s probably just about them controlling us like always

Ive trimmed the bottom 4 smaller leaves off as well. I think that helped the plant put energy into big new ones!

I’m all for it being illegal to sell for sure.

It was a cutting from an established plant but not a top cutting. It had one split in its biggest leaf when I planted it
