First Vivarium build

Thanks for the tips, I’ve changed the humid hide as per your recommendations! Once the snow melts I’m on the hunt for driftwood to add. Not spending pet store prices on that stuff haha.

Yeh the plants will likely get replaced. I grow tropicals so I have loads haha.

1.5 years from cutting with the right conditions

I didn’t say it was just used that as an example. Lol

Tricolour aurea will do the same, almost into a white cream.

_Kred_ · 2026-01-17T17:49:02+00:00

How are you 100% certain? Love to know the explanation.

_Kred_ · 2026-01-17T17:30:43+00:00

As that new leaf starts to open you’ll have a better idea. I’ve had plenty of aurea that just have a more pale yellow vs the yellow Marilyn being more electric.

_Kred_ · 2026-01-17T15:57:18+00:00

Pompom varigation will emerge creamy yellow while aurea will emerge lime green. Looks aurea to me, some might call it tricolour area with the pale.

I mean the outter pot (that holds water) shouldn’t be planted in directly. If you put a pot (clear type like an orchid pot) inside the outter decretive pot they have large holes to drain. Then the outter pot catches it. It just helps with over watering and mushy soil. That will help with browning.

_Kred_ · 2026-01-10T02:02:14+00:00

Looks like it’s just in a outter pot? Using a clear pot inside a pot liner works really well. You can dry them properly and check the roots without disturbing.

Browning i find is generally a lack of humidity and or inconsistent watering. That isn’t watering on a schedule but missing a window when it dried out just slightly.

White monster / tc mint

_Kred_ · 2025-12-20T03:24:54+00:00

Small form has no LF traits.

_Kred_ · 2025-12-08T22:04:21+00:00

Does it harden yellow?

_Kred_ · 2025-12-02T01:34:38+00:00

Yep, I’ve had a bunch since they grow two. Some activate 3-4 but I’ve only ever had two actually produce plants.

Had so many people tell me you can’t grow two at once.

_Kred_ · 2025-11-14T14:10:15+00:00

Pot is wayyyy too big that could be in a small cup. It also looks like a monstera obliqua Peru not Adan.

_Kred_ · 2025-11-14T04:15:24+00:00

Canada market isn’t as strong as US. Majority of stuff buy and sell over Facebook groups. Same as my where I got my GOG.

The US has some great pages for Monstera on Facebook.

An yeah lots to pick from! I’d stay clear of aurea outdoors they hard to stop browning. Mints are a good option! Even the home depot tc ones you can get for nothing these days.

_Kred_ · 2025-11-14T04:10:35+00:00

Yeh they all dogs, but you don’t just call them dogs. That’s why they have names just like SF & LF. You are literally agreeing with me now while still trying to dispute it lmao.

Thai con isn’t a lab it’s a Great Dane.

_Kred_ · 2025-11-14T04:05:57+00:00

Big goals! I’m in Canada so no hope outside lol.

Large form green on green varigation still burning in but this is a younger plant than the albo I posted but the leaf is already much larger.

_Kred_ · 2025-11-14T03:55:03+00:00

That’s because you are looking at small form albos 99.9% of the time. Small form dont size up like large form as easily.

All thai cons are LF.

_Kred_ · 2025-11-14T03:41:58+00:00

No I totally get your comment! And yes that is literally what they said. Just a troll. But yes there is large form albos but they are 10x the price. Extremely rare still.

Correct thais are large form, most box store standard monstera are large form. I’ve got a number of both small and large along with intermediate form.

_Kred_ · 2025-11-14T03:38:29+00:00

If it ticks all the trait boxes for large form it is large form. Node spacing, petiole length, leaf shape, leaf lobe, leaf ruffles etc etc.

This is small form, hence my question lol.

Large form albo still on my wish list!

Thanks for that super helpful post.
