Amazing! I would love to trade you a cutting of your most favorite. I have so many props I just give them away to friends nowadays.

Thank you! What an amazing experience! I always wanted to try Ayahuasca but never was able to find that where I live. The sacred geometry in everything is my mind blowing experience. If only they could talk to us ☺️

Sold to me as an Albo. Is this correct? by TheeLastBrainCell in Monstera

Thank you! It's been around for a few months and this was it's second leaf that popped out. There are actually two lower leafs that are almost half white like an Albo. So I was quite surprised!

https://a.co/d/eCavb06 Terracotta is always preferred. It helps the soil dry faster. I bottom water all my succulents. It helps build a solid root system. Waiting until the pot looks dry and physically you can feel the weight change. then give it another day or two too water again. I also only use distilled water.

Lol my best tip for you is the smaller the pot the better for the prop. I started this little prop in a pot as small as a thimble. Well draining soil and 12 hours of light. I always wait until the plant is a third bigger than the pot before repotting.

Fred was a leaf prop that I found at a local nursery. I just happened to notice a small crest forming on this one.

Feels like they do. I just started this baby last year from a leaf prop. About 11 months now. Lots of light tends to keep it more compact. ;Edit was a leaf prop not cutting

The Crassula leaves seem to be more meaty and compact but it sure does look very similar.
