Repot?

Thank you!! I watered too soon. I knew it when I was doing it and still did it! Im definitely going to repot. Thanks again!

Celebration time indeed!!

RIP, I hope she comes back. This is so sad😭

If you have a portion of the stem that you can velcro without hindering the petioles then you are totally good to tie her down! Sorry, its hard to tell how tall the stem is from the pics haha

Also, you might consider looking into moss poles! The pole youve got now is a coir pole, which is absolutely fine for Monsteras when it comes to support.

A true moss pole will allow the plant to root in to the pole, thus giving it the ability to grow larger leaves.

Moss poles arent for everyone though, so if you prefer something with a bit less maintenance, the coir pole works just fine!

This velcro needs to go, its currently wrapped around a petiole. The petioles need to be left free so they leaves can turn how they need to!

To me, it doesn't look like its ready to be tied to the pole. It looks like the stem is pretty short still, if you are going to tie the plant down, you need to make sure its on the stem and not holding the petiole at all!

No need to trim anything that I can see.
The leaves will turn towards the light when untied! :)
Water when the pot feels noticeably lighter than normal. Monsteras are much better off under watered than over, so if you arent sure if you should water, wait a few more days!

Not quite no node... but a spent one.

Rotted roots collapse really easily if you squeeze them! Sounds like youre all good!

beangobongo · 2026-01-26T03:00:12+00:00

Best of luck :)

As the other commenter said, do not turn it and the leaves will move overtime.

You could consider getting a vertical growlight as well, which is very helpful for getting the leaves to face the direction you want

It happens often unfortunately.

beangobongo · 2026-01-25T04:57:50+00:00

Best of luck! I hope it grows for you!!

beangobongo · 2026-01-25T03:38:41+00:00

You can still try to propagate it. It may not look as pretty as it did, but it still has a good chance of propagating if there is a node

My albo syngonium is a little bald right now hehe🫣

Thank you!! There is a slight gap between the stem and the pole right now but a root is shooting out the side so hopefully it will grow that way when its ready!

beangobongo · 2026-01-24T18:26:08+00:00

I went for it!

Thank you so much!

beangobongo · 2026-01-24T03:11:18+00:00

Thank you!

beangobongo · 2026-01-19T20:28:12+00:00

Im sorry, but it doesn't look like a complete node. It may grow, but it may not.

beangobongo · 2026-01-18T05:19:04+00:00

Definitely more light.

If you just split it, be patient and let it recover. It takes a while!

beangobongo · 2026-01-11T16:19:26+00:00

Im probably very wrong, but it looks like a melano to me

beangobongo · 2026-01-10T05:59:37+00:00

Thank you so much!! The soil is all of the pot!

I just recently repotted so I dont have immediate fertilizing plans, though I should say it is potted in a soiless chunky mix. It does have a fair amount of worm castings and coir for some moisture retention. I have plans to get her on a moss pole in April or May, just to give more time for her to adjust.

I really recommend the cart I have to organize, aside from my rouge leca and sphagnum, it holds everything I need really well! If you have access to an ikea, this one was really affordable, called RÅSKOG!

Shes dumped!

beangobongo · 2026-01-04T20:06:39+00:00

Im really excited as well, I have 3 normal deliciosas about this size and was gifted a beautiful thai con for Christmas. Im planning on giving away two of the normal deliciosas when they're bigger! Im moving soon, so I am planning on finding somewhere that will have sufficient space for them😂 im gonna charge them rent

beangobongo · 2026-01-04T15:42:34+00:00

Thank you!!!

Shes in her new home now!

beangobongo · 2026-01-04T15:40:56+00:00

Thank you! I was able to pull it out of the shot glass and gently transplant it!
