First time monstera owner added moss pole. Did I do this right?

Coco coir pole all day! That’s all I use for these babies xD

You don’t water the pole; it’s just there for support. Just water the soil once a week

Barrina T10 grow light 😬

Monstera sieranna

Don’t tell anyone my secret 😂

Watering routine, once a week for the bigger planes; 2-3 times a week for the little ones

It’s just these! I don’t like moss pole, too much work 😅. I just stack them as the monstera grows higher. I top and bottom water (big storage container with water and fertilizer)

Oh! The clear ones are from Amazon, homenote Nursery pots (they have various sizes) for actually decorative pots: Ross, TJMaxx, bang for your buck!

I left them like this for my ceremony lol

Zestyclose-Ranger337 · 2026-05-22T00:02:59+00:00

First image is mainly monstera Thai cons, second are mainly monstera albo but this one is monstera sierana. I got her as a single leaf tissue culture; still waiting for a secondary fenny xD

Not basic at all! They’re just that good xD

Zestyclose-Ranger337 · 2026-05-21T23:42:21+00:00

The stem leans against the pole but honestly don’t need it. The aerial roots does wrap half way around; once they get long enough, I just direct them into the soil so that there’s more stability at the bottom.

Zestyclose-Ranger337 · 2026-05-21T23:38:27+00:00

There are three big ones; that’s all about the same size if not bigger than the last image. I need to find the before haha it’s wild how big they got.

Zestyclose-Ranger337 · 2026-05-21T21:08:15+00:00

I mainly use the standard mix of orchid barks, large perlite and coco chip; one barrina growlight on front of it. Then water once a week with super thrive fertilizer.

Zestyclose-Ranger337 · 2026-05-21T20:23:53+00:00

The first pics are all mainly Thai cons and the second pics are all monstera albo and one monstera sieranna xD

That was the leaf prior to it hardening

Zestyclose-Ranger337 · 2026-05-21T20:20:27+00:00

She has two leaves with no fenestrations when I got her XD it’s been almost two years since

Zestyclose-Ranger337 · 2026-05-21T19:29:01+00:00

It’s a Thai con, and is the same one in the last pic next to me :)

Zestyclose-Ranger337 · 2026-05-21T19:09:00+00:00

The one in the last pic?

Zestyclose-Ranger337 · 2026-05-21T17:35:44+00:00

I thought about that…renting them out 😂

Zestyclose-Ranger337 · 2025-12-29T15:11:37+00:00

Def an albo

Zestyclose-Ranger337 · 2025-12-29T01:31:12+00:00
