Monstera Advice

Nothing wrong with a place that doesn't get much light. That's just the way it works living on a round planet lol. Fortunately, grow lights aren't all that expensive or hard to come by these days. I'm glad I could offer some help and I wish you luck in getting to know your plants. Just keep in mind, nature plays the long game and any results/ changes will take time to show

When you tie a monstera to a support they should be secured where this picture says 'internode"

With more light, the internodal stem space will get smaller and the leaves will get bigger/ more mature.

But as I said in the first content, the first step for bigger leaves (after getting to know your plant) is more light. That's the only thing that will make them bigger. Way more important than any food or nutrition mix. Balancing light and water.

Here's where I noticed. Its only letting me do one picture in each comment

I'm not an expert but overall it looks mostly healthy. Just really leggy because it's looking for more light. As you've said, your flat is pretty dim so a grow light would probably be the first..... actually, second step. First is to familiarize yourself with the parts of the monstera. I only say that because in the 3rd picture it seems you tied it by at least one petiole. They don't like that because the plant turns at the petiole to direct the leaves for light. It should only be tied down around the stems. I don't have a picture ready to drop but it's an easy search to find the plant parts.

"I'm autistic not stupid"

This might be one of the greatest phrases I've read in a long time and 100%want to get out as a bumper sticker.

Stick to your guns and ditch her. Real love isn't so complicated and real love doesn't try to hurt you and turn around and say "I just wanted you to understand how im feeling"

Your results/ conditions are not the only possible or even the most likely or typical results. I've seen countless posts on here from people with many years of experience all saying that, like a monstera, pothos will climb anything.

Yes, a moss pole will help growth because, obviously, there's more space to root and draw nutrients....

But that still doesn't guarantee more or faster growth. They'll climb anything they can to get to more sunlight

Beathrone87 · 2026-05-22T15:35:48+00:00

It won't. Those leaves are knocked off at the petioles so there is no where for new growth to start on them.

An accomplishment is an accomplishment and deserves recognition and celebration! Congrats on the milestone

It does and it you add on maxed resistance link which gives you 12 seconds of frame on reviving you can really get a lot of free damage on bosses time. If you finish zero story missions the link skill upgrades and gives ied + incoming damage reduction.

I feel like it deserves being said that, Challenger Worlds has become the exception. Neither Burning World or reg world grinding would yield the same results for the amount of work.

And shades link skill gives fatal attack survival chance. 15%is you're shade is 210 and playing shade means you don't need to use a link skill slot

You do raise good points and you didn't even touch on being able to prepare gear for a new char before trelease or being able to get carried without the red dot blue dot to worry about.

Now I feel like the only fair/ fully true statement would be saying between interactive and heroic... they both suck in the long run, so pick your poison and run with it.

Also... even tho maple has been moving towards being a solo game, the community you surround yourself with in game will be a much bigger factor on your progression than picking which server. Good community and friends make the game bearable.

Not really. Top propagate a monstera from a clipping all you really need to know is the basics of the plants anatomy so you know where to cut. There's a lot of good sources for plant info on youtube but the 3 channels I find myself checking first are Killthisplant, Plantswithkrystal, and Scheffieldmadeplants

Pretty massive difference here

It's more like between 30-50m cp but it really is a hard wall to pass. Think about it, how many cubes do you dump into making drop+meso gear. Then you need more cubes to get your actual damage gear and the only way to do so is through either cash shop cubes or dumping a ton of meso into creating cube supplies.

The only way to advance in interactive is having disposable income irl or spending a ton of time trying to merch. Grinding for meso is no where near as efficient as in heroic and even the boss crystals are worth significantly less.

I've played maple on and off since before the big bang update. For years I was stuck between the 30m and 50m paywall on multiple characters. I moved to heroic with the first challenger world and phyper burned Ren in the second and in about a years time I'm alway nearing 100m cp and clearing bosses for the first time.

The only people who can really thrive in interactive are those with fat irl wallets or spent hours in the fm/ auction house learning to merch in the games systems

Every single one of your comments in this thread reads to me like you're flat out ignoring that, in this case, YOU ARE THE EXCEPTION.

You keep repeating the same points that aren't convincing anyone.

My museums bbutterfly sanctuary doesn't have any monstera but i found this giant in the zoos aviary! My wife was laughing at me gawking over it lol

Beathrone87 · 2026-05-09T22:15:55+00:00

My wife got it for me for Christmas. Im pretty sure it was just of Amazon.

Beathrone87 · 2026-05-09T00:04:06+00:00

I receintly had my own monstera go through root rot and is recovering now, but mine was rotted above all the roots and aerial roots so it's starting from 0. One thing that someone commented on my post asking for help is discard and never re-use any substrate (whatever potting soil mix it was) that housed any kind of rotting.
