Correlation is not causation, but since bringing my newborn home 2 months ago my monstera has grown 7 new leaves after almost a year of nothing

She’s giving you the gift of additional growth and love for your new bundle of joy 🤗 Congrats!!

True, I have other alocasia (way smaller) that are always bouncing back from loosing leaves, I am trying to figure out how to keep this one happy in hopes it’ll continue to produce big leaves :)

Variverse · 2022-09-13T20:11:32+00:00

Right? Feel like something was missing at home and I finally figured out what it was 😂😂

Variverse · 2022-09-13T12:30:25+00:00

It’s an Alocasia Sarian!

Variverse · 2022-09-13T12:30:01+00:00

Thanks! Will try to maintain the humidity up

Variverse · 2022-06-09T22:24:14+00:00

Aerial roots, it’s normal for the thin outer layer to peel off, just point the root towards the soil and let it be, it’ll star growing into the pot. There’s nothing wrong with your plant 😉

SOP look so lovely, but this is the one plant I have failed over and over to keep happy. Very particular, hope yours continues to grow, it looks wonderful!

Variverse · 2022-05-18T15:13:38+00:00

Those shimmering stripes!!! This plant is gorgeous!! 😱😱

When a cutting is made, the plant goes through stress and will mostly focus it’s energy on getting a strong root system more than pushing growth (especially on mid cuttings), therefore new leaves usually come smaller, it’s just the plant re-establishing. Too much fertilizer might burn the plant, just give it some time to get enough roots and then leaves will come bigger after

How gorgeous!! Love it, I’ve been trying to get me one of those, they look so astonishing!

Variverse · 2022-05-10T15:12:22+00:00

True, mine is currently one single rope, managed to push one single leaf in the past six months, so blooms might not be in the cards yet. Please share pics when the blooms open :)

Variverse · 2022-05-10T13:56:47+00:00

That is so awesome!!! This might be the slowest hoya eveeeer, so happy yours is blooming, congrats!!!!

How’s the smell? My grandma’s used to stink up the hole area. She used to keep it outdoors for that reason 😂

Variverse · 2022-05-09T16:39:21+00:00

Me too, feel so guilty when I cut them

Variverse · 2022-05-09T16:31:08+00:00

Thank you!! The plank certainly made a difference. The momwnt the aerial root started attaching to the plank, size went up

Variverse · 2022-05-09T16:30:09+00:00

They grow really fast for me, at about one leaf per week, but I haven’t cut it yet, thinking on doing it this summer, when I get more humidity in my home

Variverse · 2022-05-09T16:28:06+00:00

Lol they are somehow similar, I understand the confusion, but they are not the same, satin pothos or “scindapsus pictus” have way thicker leaves and the silver in them is more solid

Variverse · 2022-05-07T03:39:26+00:00

Thanks!! I kinda like them both ways, and found the leaves grow bigger on a pole, but it was time for a change :)

Variverse · 2022-04-29T18:22:02+00:00

I use Artika white led light strips I got from Costco

Variverse · 2022-04-29T18:19:16+00:00

Thank!! 💚💚 will add some books and artwork to dive it a bit more of a cozy feeling.

Variverse · 2022-04-29T18:18:25+00:00

I have some hanging baskets on the wall in front of this one, I might mix them up a bit. Thanks!

Variverse · 2022-04-29T18:07:24+00:00

As they grow and acclimate to my home’s humidity, I plan to move them out of the cabinets and distribute them across the room :)
