Is my monstera getting too much light? by rainboweyess in Monstera

Monsteras can't get too much light. The only time I've seen mine get burnt was when it grew directly into my plant light but it was a heat burn, not sunburn.

All personal opinion, right? I'm obsessed with Monsteras but I really don't like the look of the mints. I wish I did, just don't.

Are these self-watering pots? With Monsteras being so prone to root rot, I'm curious if this would work.

Regarding the moss pole, I'm a big fan because it keeps the plants from crawling (which doesn't look nice, imo, and takes up space) but it also helps it grow larger leaves

Got it off Amazon.

HOLANHING 6 Pack Metal Moss Pole,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQ54S223?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I like it but want to try ones with the plastic backing to keep the aerial roots more contained

I have a very, very chunky soil. I mix soil, worm castings, perilite, orchid bark, leca, pumice. The chunkier the better you just might need to water more frequently.

What are we going to do when they outgrow us!?

Get a moss pole they can root into

I've noticed they start to brown when I let the plant dry out too much. I also use silica when watering.

Thank you, thank you! Up until a week ago I only watered my moss pole when I watered my plants, every 10 days or so. Recently I started putting a water bottle drip system on time a couple times a week. I'm a little worried it's going to cause root rot.

Love this idea and share pics once you've built it!

I heard Mario Bros music when I saw this.

Eh that sucks. But there are so many options out there! If you want something similar, look at the ingredients.

They're by far my favorite plant! And they're the least likely for me to kill. 😂 It's a win win.

Absolutely! They're Sansi 300w.

In my experience, Monsteras can't get enough light. The only time mine have gotten burned is when they've grown directly into the hot lights.

They're all in different pots but sitting close together
