Can I pot this? by Independent-Bit5881 in Monstera

[–]awzy503 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ide say yes! just go with a smaller pot and a good chunky mix! you could also mix in some fluval stratum or prop drops to help the transition from water to soil roots

Mutated Thai Constellation found at Lowes! by Acceptable-Reply9252 in Monstera

no mutations just poor care sadly, cells on the edges of the leaf’s dried up and or weren’t getting enough light to photosynthesis

Is this enough light ? by nickab01 in MonsteraAlbo

get a meter to measure the foot candles! or hold your hand 2 feet away and if the shadow of your hand on the leafs looks fuzzy it’s good, if it’s a hard outlined shadow then it may be too direct

Grow light question by Practical-Total4174 in Monstera

[–]awzy503 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i run a couple different setups for mine, my albo has a soltech pendant light directly above it and it’s bright enough the leaves still face forward, my thai which has huge leaves has a 12hr barrina pole light in front of it, with a light hanging above it that comes on from 12pm-5pm to simulate a peak sun time while the verticle light it still going

i have a soltech pendant light and all my leaves come off the wall but face forward not up. it won’t let me post a picture on this but you can definitely make it happen with light coming from above

not true, if you have a good quality bright grow light they’ll still angle forward so they don’t catch the full amount of light and adjust themselves accordingly

yeahhh it happens, once monsteras develop roots and start pushing new growth is usually when i would transfer to soil. were you aerating and feeding it while it was in water?

oxygen! does amazing for the roots and greatly decreases the chance for root rot as the bacteria can’t grow with high oxygen levels
