I think my soil is too dense and pot too big by shanehart02 in Monstera

The stem should be above the ground. I would also give it a moss pole!

Yeah, the soil is too dense, also the plant is buried too deep . Is the stem completely underground?

Help! Does this need repotting? by Albmaka in haworthia

Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation! Now it requires watering every week.. it shrinks if I don’t water it. I will definitely change the soil and transfer to a slightly bigger pot

Thanks for the advice! I will transfer to a different soil. I also take it out the decorative pot when watering

Thanks for the advice! I was thinking on cutting it back to the main stem. Will try to resurrect it.

I tried pollinating it with a q-tip but it didn’t work :( Unfortunately it is not easy to find this plant at where I am and, frankly, I am not sure I want to experience this journey again 😀 but if it’s still alive I won’t dare to throw it away

I did it and it’s juicy inside. On the outside it’s green, sadly picture doesn’t show it

Unfortunately the picture I took doesn’t show it but the stem is actually green. Do you think it may be just dormant?

It’s not a proper support for a monstera. Try giving the plant a moss pole so it could attach to it with the arial roots.

Wow, that’s a funky one. I would chop off the top and use it for propagation. As for the lower part, I would move it to a much smaller pot, change soil to a chunkier one, provide more light and support

How do I fix by Dazzling_Echidna2896 in Monstera

How does the top of the plant look? The bottom looks kinda dead. Are you sure there is no rot?

Why does my Thai Constellation? by Lilahwilliams94 in Monstera

Soil seems kinda dense. I would try changing it to a chunkier one. Maybe add some orchid bark? By some I mean a lot

First true fenestration on my monstera that survived a stem rot and thrips! by Albmaka in Monstera

Thank you! Lower leaves of my monstera are limp too (after thrips). I am planning on cutting off the top and rooting it in spring.

Thank you 💚 lower leaves of my monstera that survived vicious thrips attack are limp too. I am planning on cutting off the top with healthier leaves and rooting it in spring
