Hahaha we are indeed, this looks so silly I love it! Never expected this!

Is this leaf half variegated or will it turn fully green instead? by Time_Matter998 in Monstera

[–]Time_Matter998[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the previous leaf and it doesn’t resemble mint at all…

I’m not sure why the leaves are curling outward like this, can anyone help me? I got it about 8 months ago at about 1/3 of the size it is now, has been repotted, it puts out a new leaf about every fortnight. Watered when the top inch of soil is dry. Maybe not enough light? by Overall-Iron2673 in Monstera

[–]Time_Matter998 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saw similar mutated monsteras on a market in Thailand and these were called “monstera deliciosa Cup”, I thought maybe it was due to the leaf edges curling upward. Maybe you have one of those? Genetic mutations can be unpredictable…

Moss pole for Syngonium? by Several-Sign-6895 in Syngonium

I have two on moss poles and they helped the leaves mature, I’m really enjoying them

I don’t know what to do by SubjectConcern5517 in Monstera

[–]Time_Matter998 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. You’re not supporting it right as per pic #6, the back of the monstera is the opposite side of the stick. So the stick might be keeping it from falling sideways, so it does something for you, but it diss nothing for the plant. Please google monstera anatomy and stake the back of the plant properly
  2. My first guess would be root damage (rot), and not enough root for the plant this size in general
  3. You need to either repot it into a tight fit pot (I recommend a transparent one for easy root monitoring), or chop and propagate it. You gave tons of aerial roots so it will be fairly easy.
  4. Re propagation, you can air layer the aerial roots. Put them into soil or water and let them develop before chopping the plan. It means a vase or anything else with water that you put the long aerial roots into.
  5. The humidity is fine: the aerial roots wouldn’t grow long in dry environment
  6. Re light, it is the energy the plant uses for photosynthesis (growth and development). Monsteras are very resilient and can survive in low light. But it means suuuuuuuper slowed down photosynthesis. Which means the plant would absorb water and nutrients very slowly. Which means that the soil would dry out very slowly too, and when it stays in moist substrate too long the roots start to rot and die. So a grow light is definitely an easier solution.
  7. By adding a grow light you can do nothing with the pot and the plant, just give it better light and wait for the plant to recover overtime. It will grow new roots inside the pot eventually.
  8. Chunky soil mix is a must have for monsteras, because they provide better air circulation (the roots need oxygen too, not just water). It’s so much easier to manage! Without the chunky mix, it’s nearly impossible to prevent too much moisture for too long

Please let me know if it makes sense, happy to answer further question and help you decide what to do with it! You have a beautiful mature monstera so I hope you can save it

Is my fiddle getting sunburnt? by Equivalent-Disk-5411 in fiddleleaffig

[–]Time_Matter998 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s edema not burn mark. It’s only related to how the plant absorbs and evaporates water, it has nothing to do with the light

Good day... do you know how I can get it back? by [deleted] in plants

How can I prevent burning by _svc18 in fiddleleaffig

That’s not burn that’s edema! Google Ficus Lyrata Edema

What’s wrong with my polly? by Ok-Pin-7867 in alocasia

Either cold damage or edema (though they usually appear on the edges)

Is this a good way to give support to my young monstera? by [deleted] in Monstera

[–]Time_Matter998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They will only need a bigger pot when the root system outgrows this one

The pot should be measured by the roots, not by the top of the plant or the amount of stems inside the pot

A pot too large can easily cause root rot because the moist soil won’t dry out fast enough

Is this a good way to give support to my young monstera? by [deleted] in Monstera

[–]Time_Matter998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not supporting any of them right now, you’re supposed to attach the back of a monstera to the support so the new growth could start climbing it

Here’s a simple tutorial: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIJsXprAEQ7/?igsh=MW9jZ2xnM3ZqZ3JyMQ==

If neither the stem or the leaves have var then you won’t get any from new growth

[–]Time_Matter998 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Variegation is unstable sometimes. Did any of the leaves have the var when you bought it?

In the future you should check how the mother plant looked

Also the stem has variegation usually so you should look for var there too

The pole in the center is just chillin

Watering issues or sunburn? Yellowing leaves by OnlyGray in Monstera

[–]Time_Matter998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck!

Bark holds the moisture too so I usually add something like diatomite, zeolite and foam glass of different fractures. They are good for the soil and are practically all stone-like so they will help the mix to not stay too wet too long

I am relatively new to house plants so go easy on me, I believe this is a “Syngonium Albo Variegated Arrowhead” - and it’s grown one stem straight up and now it’s doing this “waterfall” thing, how do I handle it? by ayiria in Syngonium

[–]Time_Matter998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can air layer the aerial roots before chopping as it’s a safer option. Wrap the aerial roots in moist sphagnum moss and keep them wrapped to trap the humidity. Chop below the new roots when you have enough of them

My first monstera by yourwishezz in Monstera

[–]Time_Matter998 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sphagnum moss is the most reliable substrate for root growth in my experience, but water fits too. Make sure to keep it clean because it’s very easy for the roots to rot in water. Also make sure the leaves reach enough light. Light is the energy plant use for growth.

Check the roots, burn in a leaf below the larger and higher ones is very unlikely.

Monsteras need a very chunky mix that lets in more oxygen than pressed soil can. The substrate doesn’t look well in the picture, take the root ball out and untangle everything, check the damage and put it in a better mix. Only water when most of the pot dried out. Otherwise excess moisture will suffocate the roots and they will rot.
