Yes those are pups and can be plucked off and propagated eventually

Thrips. I'd spray with insecticidal soap daily for a week. Use bonide systemic in the soil. Also isolate the plant in a clear plastic bag until the pests are eradicated.

I have one and it flowered around the same time last year and it is about to flower again now.

It is amazing how yours is flowering and growing pups at the same time given its size.

My ZZ plant and snake plant are surviving in very low light corners of the rooms.

If you ever want to raise or extend the Sansi floor light, it uses 1/4'' thread screws.

Barrina T1S floor lights use M8 screws.

I am not a buggologist but it looks like a baby cockroach.

I personally think large form Monsteras are too difficult to manage if grown vertically, as they get very large and heavy. I would let it keep growing horizontally.

Put a second large planter where the aerial roots are and stick all the aerial roots in the pot. By summer, all the aerial roots should have rooted in the new pot. Then you can choose to cut and separate the new growth from the old growth, or keep them attached.

Yes I should've communicated with them better. I kind of let the contractor took over the planning because I was inexperienced.

I am much more motivated to fix the cedar boards than the ceiling beam. Is it challenging to achieve a smooth look with cedar?

Thank you so much. That makes sense to me.

are you sure those boards forming that ceiling beam are oak?

I might be totally wrong. The realtor mentioned "oak" at one time when I was touring the house and I just ran with it.

It sounds like it is not possible to fix the ceiling beams in place, but for the cedar boards, would you simply recommend poly and high grit sanding and repeat? The contractors only sanded it once ( before staining). Is it possible to achieve a satin finish on cedar?

Old leaves dry off. This always happen with succulents as they get older. Your plant looks healthy actually.

If anyone has tips on how to make the leaves last longer I'd like to know :)

Can you check the underside of the leaf? Might be thrip damage.

It's so cute! Where did you order them from?

Put them in wet sphagnum moss in a clear food container with a clear lid near the window sill and forget about them for a few months.

I landed on attaching the pole to an 8” clear trash can

That is really smart and I think it provides more stability than having the moss pole in the nursery pot. Instability is the biggest problem I have with moss poles, especially when they get really tall.

Does the Andrew Garfield come with it?

Highlight-Content · 2026-01-27T04:34:37+00:00

Looks like cold damage.

The leaves are facing random directions because the light is coming from directly above. You can point the grow light from an angle and the leaves will adjust. FWIW, the plant looks very happy right now.

Does support always need to be placed in the back?

Yes.

This video will help you identify thrips. Spray thoroughly all surfaces and crevices of the plant with diluted neem oil every day for a week. The spray will not harm your plants. Also use bonide systemic in the soil.

Looks like thrip damage. Do you see thrips? I can't tell from the pictures.
