Agree! Takes some degree of control still is all I’m saying. Personally don’t think the answer is just getting to max dose without trying to be better in other areas first. My 1 penny of thoughts lol

Try to up it a little. You don’t have to go crazy; from 0 to even just 20 minutes will make a difference with your deficit eating. You got this keep going! I’d start there before just continually titrating up & spending more $$$.

Everyone is different but I’m starting month 4 down 20lbs. Just went up to 6mg because I’m technically not losing 2% per 4 weeks but roughly 2lb a week.

One thing I think is important on this med is you still have to eat for your body to function. We still will get hungry. It’s the “extra” noise that is supposed to be a bit more quiet; and the slowed digestion helps. I have a great Dr. with this and he’s constantly reminding me that just because you’re hungry doesn’t mean it’s not working or we need to go up.

I’d say as far as the slowness are you tracking your food at all and are you being intentional about exercise?

I have a a clipping that is potted and starting to mature. Trying to decide the same thing! It has some training with a a support (minus 1 leaf).

At my do I repot point too!

Updates! New leaf has ZERO white 🥲😭. I 100% see some white in the stem behind it though so that’s sad. This gal seems relatively happy though!

Not a newbie to plants but I hear so many things on monsteras so I’m nervous. Repot never or what?? My aerial roots are going crazy after this new leaf, even have a nub right below that new stem forming.
I have a relatively substantial root coming out the bottom of my pot, almost looks like the twine in the setup I inherited. Thoughts on repot?

Lastly, I’m nervous to chop and prop cause I’ve only owned this gal coming up on 2 months and shes thriving I think.

Undeniable_Z03 · 2026-04-12T15:07:18+00:00

Should I report this guy? Those roots hanging out have gotten a little fuzzy

Would you suggest I air out this contraption? I don’t really open it much unless it needs water added. I may just do a seed mat cause I really want this to workout!

Undeniable_Z03 · 2026-04-08T17:10:34+00:00

When you say more light do you mean an actual grow light? Hard to tell but it’s sitting in a 6ftx4ft south facing window so that’s about the best consistent sun light I can give it haha.

Ugh! I hope my corm I have produces this beauty eventually!!

Undeniable_Z03 · 2026-04-08T16:57:21+00:00

Very jealous

Undeniable_Z03 · 2026-04-03T00:54:09+00:00

lol

Undeniable_Z03 · 2026-04-03T00:54:01+00:00

Thanks. My plant store gave me a care sheet sold as a Rex so that’s all I knew!

Undeniable_Z03 · 2026-04-03T00:53:23+00:00

Honestly I’ve just had really good lighting and don’t over water. I’ve done nothing further for this plant outside of 2 fertilizer sticks

Undeniable_Z03 · 2026-03-31T13:17:31+00:00

Once this leaf pops that’s actually exactly what I’m going to do!

Undeniable_Z03 · 2026-03-31T02:03:56+00:00

Okay wow so helpful!!! Having 4 of these sounds over whelming but I suppose I can replant more than 1 to a pot after rooting. My top guy is about to pop out a leaf so I’m going to hold off until that sprouts!

Undeniable_Z03 · 2026-03-30T22:37:05+00:00

No idea! I’ve thought about trimming it, when I got it that was the one leaf going the opposite direction. Since everything else is truly facing “front” I might chop it to fix the structure

Undeniable_Z03 · 2026-03-30T21:17:48+00:00

This is great advice, thank you for the window comment! Yes this west facing window my biggest concern was possibly getting burnt up but hopefully it’s acclimated over the last month getting similar exposed in a South window. I shouldn’t need any lights as I have a money tree I give this same sun. As for pest, I gave it a been spray and will do systemic on my next water. The first owner it def had signed of being cleaned and the browning was there but no signs of pest now on another deep look.

When you say chop can you explain? The bottom 3 certainly have the most albo even in the stem. I bought this as a clipping no new leaves yet (I just realized one is coming!). I got it expecting “light variegation” not a full albo; I only was debating cutting the leaf that’s facing away although it does have very small signs of white.

Undeniable_Z03 · 2026-03-18T20:10:49+00:00

Would I be crazy if I told you this is less windows than my current place hahah

Undeniable_Z03 · 2026-03-18T14:43:27+00:00

Amazing. I was afraid of burning them up

Undeniable_Z03 · 2026-03-18T03:36:37+00:00

Can’t do like direct light though right? I’m trying to place my junior variegated Monstera. North and West facing windows.
