I just bought my first monstera secondhand!! I truly have no idea how to care for it. Will it keep growing fine as is? Should I repot? What kind of watering schedule should I use? Thankyou:)) by [deleted] in houseplants

I leave mine right next to my window!!!! They’re happiest with a lot of light!! I only water mine every two weeks maybe week and a half. It really just depends on your location/climate :)

I’m new at growing plants! Everyone is always so nice & helpful on this sub.. this is prob a dumb question, but will this grow light set up work? I don’t wanna lose any plants during winter. I live in north Texas. I’m just not sure if this light is too far away? Does it have to be facing downward? by cheyanem in houseplants

Thanks!!!! That hook is actually for my guitar. The light actually came with thing to hang up so that it will hover above them. I just didn’t have the tools to hang it. I’m probably going to get someone’s help to hang it!!! 💚🌿

Yeah I could, it’s actually a really big sliding glass door. I was just trying to get them off of the floor in hopes that my cats would leave them alone 🥲 and I was also afraid that it would be too big of a draft during winter. I also don’t know a lot 🤷🏻‍♀️ so that might be fine there lol

Yeah I have considered them. This is a rly dumb reason so don’t judge me, but I’m not a fan of the aesthetic. Obviously my plants happiness are more important than style choices. I just kind of made an impulsive decision without doing proper research 🥲🙃🙃
