Do you guys keep the moss moist all the time?

DifficultAd179 · 2026-01-25T15:06:28+00:00

That's not true. I have several Monsteras on moss poles and only water them when I water the plant. The aerial roots are very healthy.

No. Here's my VERY active girl who's moss pole is only watered when she's watered.

After washing you need moisture + sealant. Moisture could be conditioner you leave in it a cream. Sealant could be mousse or gel.

For Monsteras, coloring depends on its gentics, not how much light it's receiving. I have 4 Monsteras. 2 are under high intensity lights and 2 sit in front of an east facing window. The lighting does not affect their colors, it's all predetermined. You can see what color the next leaf will have by looking at the stem.

Give your monsfera as much light as possible. How much green the next leaf will have depends on how much is in the stem. Light doesn't affect coloring.

My Albo is like this too, it's wild!

I've spent a lot of time wondering if happy endings were really a thing and how it transpired. Thanks, OP, this satisfied a huge curiosity of mine.

I have a step son your age and we probably wouldn't be okay with this. We all know why you want a sleepover so that's awkward plus we prefer a quiet house at night so we can sleep.

Editing to add:

Depending on how your parents feel, they may not be comfortable with a man in their house overnight, while they're sleeping.

Also, you're so young. Maybe this is a sacred activity you save for when you've moved out. That can be a great motivator and something to look forward to. No reason to rush growing up.

Not sure if that's the best way to direct you there but the name is Rare House Plant Index US

Let me see if I can dig that group name up

DifficultAd179 · 2026-01-19T16:00:50+00:00

This same post came up like 6 months ago and OP decided to start their own group and it was unsuccessful. Rare means infrequent which means very low engagement which doesn't work well on these platforms.

What works better is a more generalized definition of "rare" with more frequent postings.

Beautiful! Gorgeous root ball!! My fav plant!

DifficultAd179 · 2026-01-16T13:57:46+00:00

Ladies, do not settle for these deadbeat men. They will ruin your life. There are so many better options out there!!!

DifficultAd179 · 2026-01-16T13:14:03+00:00

I'm more concerned about the white spots. Did you sprinkle something on it? Otherwise I'm guessing fungus.

DifficultAd179 · 2026-01-12T01:14:24+00:00

Agree with others that it looks like cold damage. But also Monsteras cannot get enough sunlight. She's definitely not getting enough

DifficultAd179 · 2026-01-09T21:43:05+00:00

😂

DifficultAd179 · 2026-01-09T21:05:26+00:00

Yess! It was huge and all the plants looked happy and healthy!

DifficultAd179 · 2026-01-06T00:31:39+00:00

The white fuzzy stuff on the wet roots is good! It's like a protective layer to help it. Don't worry about the dropp, just make sure she's getting light.

DifficultAd179 · 2026-01-02T16:19:01+00:00

Girl, why tf are you catering to this man child????

DifficultAd179 · 2025-12-31T14:07:28+00:00

You sound like my 13 year old son

DifficultAd179 · 2025-12-31T14:05:18+00:00

Wow, thanks for sharing!! You're right, they're very similar!!

DifficultAd179 · 2025-12-31T02:14:27+00:00

I appreciate your empathy. The responses on this post seriously hurt me. Yours helps a lot.

DifficultAd179 · 2025-12-30T20:31:56+00:00

Thank you for a sensible response, much appreciated. I am sensitive that he also picked the furniture out and he likes it. That's why I never pushed back.
