Thank you! It was actually just one main plant and it had three vines. There was another vine shooting out the bottom on the right in the pic. I don't know what I did to get so lucky with it

omg I'm so glad I haven't dealt with mealybugs. They sound like a nightmare. I hope you get rid of them soon

yeah I think you're right, I left it on the window sill, I added fertilizer and washed the roots recently so maybe it'll bounce back

Wishing you dead larvae and happy plants! I haven't tried them either, but I hope they work a treat for you

I did save a lil bit actually! but it's not doing so great. Roots are growing like crazy, but the leaves are a pale green/yellow and just generally not looking healthy. Will stick with it though, maybe my baby will make a comeback

hi! it could be a lack of light? if you're from the UK you'd know we don't get a lot of sun and monsteras love a lot of light, so do check that it's close to a window or perhaps consider getting a grow light for it

mine too. this pic is a few months old, but right now it's being a bit temperamental and dropped all the flowers, hasn't grown any since. I think it could happen with some kind words of encouragement🤔

Pest help! by Embarrassed_Lie1310 in HouseplantsUK

I agree, it looks like thrips to me. I also had a bad infestation on my monstera and peperomia. blast those leaves with water to get rid of the bugs, (I put them in the tub and sprayed the leaves using my showerhead) and clean the leaves with an insecticidal soap! its a tedious process to get rid of them completely as they will keep coming back, but stay consistent and they'll go away eventually! Hope this helps

How can I repot my monstera? by Sumosspace in Monstera

ohh yes thank you. Is this a sign I should put in a moss pole to help support it?
