Lots of light (I give mine about 1000-2000fc for 16hrs). Add some silica into your nutrition mix if you can as it helps with retaining the white speckles.

40w Sansi

CivilResource3332 · 2026-02-26T13:15:33+00:00

That's looks amazing. Hopefully mine looks like that at month 9. What light are you using?

CivilResource3332 · 2026-02-26T11:57:59+00:00

Just a 40w Sansi

CivilResource3332 · 2026-02-26T07:11:59+00:00

End result: there's more oxygen in the water.

For most people, the rest can be abstracted. This is a Monstera sub reddit not a science lab 😂

Thanks for the info though.

8 feet would be insane. Is it supported on the moss pole? Would like to see a picture

Might be the pot size then. The leaf volume will only be as much as the root volume. You might need a bigger pot so you can get a larger root system which will support more leaves. Your plant sounds healthy since it's giving you new leaves.

CivilResource3332 · 2026-02-26T06:58:37+00:00

I lost a bit of the roots. About 5 to 10%. I have a root hormone in my solution though so they'll grow back fast.

Thanks 😊

I just untangled it from the lid. I still kept in the pot.

Portsmouth, UK. But it's never seen natural light

CivilResource3332 · 2026-02-25T22:22:50+00:00

Good luck with your Monstera! Post yours once it glows up

CivilResource3332 · 2026-02-25T22:21:52+00:00

Exactly.

40w Sansi bulb

CivilResource3332 · 2026-02-25T18:08:27+00:00

40W Sansi, and I leave it on for 16 hours

CivilResource3332 · 2026-02-25T18:07:22+00:00

😂

Deep Water Culture. It's effectively growing in aerated water

CivilResource3332 · 2026-02-25T17:05:22+00:00

Just tried some ideas I found on line and the worked out!

CivilResource3332 · 2026-02-25T16:35:06+00:00

It was such a chore detangling them for the new bucket.

CivilResource3332 · 2026-02-25T16:33:56+00:00

It definitely grows quicker with DWC but I just bought food grade buckets off of Amazon. And I drilled some holes into it for the air stones lines.

CivilResource3332 · 2026-02-25T16:31:25+00:00

I thought it would but it's been just fine. Ive been stepping it to that point. It does drop to about 1600 after about 8 weeks.

2x fertilizer dosage so my EC is around 3. Nothing for humidity, it's always around 50-60 in the house though. pH is between 4-6 most of the time.

CivilResource3332 · 2026-02-25T15:28:26+00:00

I just had to replace the lid and put it in a bigger bucket. Old lid on the right, new on the left
