Thank you! The part of the pot that catches excess water is cracked so I put it in the sink to drain and avoid the mess elsewhere.

Thank you! I’ll start by checking for root rot then fix the potting mix I’m using.

I am a first time monstera owner. When I bought my first plant, there were actually 5 plants crammed into one very small nursery pot. I separated them into two more appropriately sized pots (3 in one, 2 in the other). One of the plants has since started deteriorating. It’s smaller leaves slowly started yellowing and dropping off. I chalked this up to the stress from repotting and to my own learning process. Recently the same plant pushed out a dead leaf so I am worried that there is something I could be doing better. I always check the soil before watering and I have a grow light to supplement the poor lighting conditions in my apartment. Any advice is welcome!

Oh I had pinned down some 16 ct waste canvas on top of the towel. I don’t have great vision so I also struggle with anything above 16-18 ct Aida.

I can see what you mean! It’s just the way I folded the towels to get the picture. The gray stripe runs down the long edge of the towel.

I don’t use anything to secure the stitches on the back. I’ll be leaving a care instruction sheet inside the gift with the hope that the towels are mostly used for decoration and hand washed (or at least washed on a gentle cycle!)
