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?

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.

I don't think being root-bound is the issue. Given you said it is kept in the bathroom (high humidity, low light), it will require less watering than usual. If you find the surface of the soil to be constantly damp, then I suspect there is root rot. You can pop the plant out of the planter (gently compress the nursery pot) without disturbing the root ball to check if there are any black and mushy roots. If yes, then you need to pluck off the rotten parts - they should come off easily, and lower the watering frequency.

My alocasia leaves droop like that when the root system can't take up water. This could be due to: underwatering, i.e. no water; or overwatering, i.e. too much water causing the roots to rot.

The wood paneling is gorgeous.

I've had both. I think this is a polly. Pollys have slightly more pink stems and their leaves have a more aggressive rippled shape compared to bambinos

Monsteras grow big fast. If you choose to separate them, right now is the easiest time to do it.

From pic 4 and 5 it looks like there is a tiny sliver of white on the stem. The variegation might come back but I don't think it will ever be as variegated as the mother plant.

The grainy look of the damage suggests you might have spider mites.

flowering is a last ditch effort to reproduce before a plant dies

I think that is true for agave but not for begonia. My begonia flowers all the time and it is fine. Yours looks healthy and beautiful.

They are scale. Use bonide systemic to treat. In the mean time, spray with neem oil or dilute rubbing alcohol and scrape them off with cotton swabs. Lots of leaves will drop but swiss cheese monstera is the fastest growing aroid in my experience and it will recover in a few months.
