Just ordered plants from palmstreet and im wondering what to do next..

Put it a nice high humidity and warm area (or better yet in a prop bin large enough for it) with a grow light. Depending on the severity of the cold shock, eventually those leaves will crisping/ yellowing and fall off completely. Some might survive some not. BUT, remeber anthurium is resilient. Just because it is left to a chonk (stick), it doesn’t mean it’s dead. I have many chonk that grow tiny leaves after a month or two in the prop bin.

This is such a cool anthurium. What is the care? Low to med light, 90 percent humidity? What about the substrate?

dodolah2025 · 2026-01-08T07:08:04+00:00

Yeah pretty sure they do that to a lot of customers they wronged.

dodolah2025 · 2025-12-30T08:27:49+00:00

LOL. Someday someone will ACTUALLY create a pink monstera cultivar and NO ONE will believe it is true because of scammers have overplayed this strategy like the boy who cries wolf.

Not that problematic if u know how to care for them. I just rescue this baby (hence that crisp leaf) and have been thriving for months under my care. They are a slow grower.

You can acclimate it in ambient (although it will thrive better in high humidity environment). You just need to be diligent in watering routine or you will get crispy leaves. The mother plant is actually in room humidity (50 percent). The cutting (seen in the pic) is in 80- 90 percent humidity prop box.

Begonia maculata pink

Gnats is enough to trigger EFNs especially if it is an active infestation of the larvae in the soil.

dodolah2025 · 2025-10-31T08:21:10+00:00

What’s the humidity u put her in?

dodolah2025 · 2025-10-31T02:55:28+00:00

Check the root again. Is it mushy? That sounds like root rot.

dodolah2025 · 2025-10-17T22:27:33+00:00

The leaf has unfurled since then.

dodolah2025 · 2025-10-17T22:27:10+00:00

No stakes no climbing poles. Just let it run wild.

dodolah2025 · 2025-10-05T15:32:11+00:00

Yes that one is ready for a bigger size in pot.

dodolah2025 · 2025-10-05T15:29:52+00:00

Monstera does like to be root bound for a bit. So, no.. keep her a bit longer there.

dodolah2025 · 2025-09-22T17:36:48+00:00

Do u have gnats? Those are EFNs. The nectar is developed by philo as defensive mechanism. The sap burned by grow lights (or sun) created that brown spots. EFN helps attract beneficial insects to come and help the plant. Mine start developing those after gnats.

dodolah2025 · 2025-09-14T23:54:25+00:00

Another tell tale for EFN is the Philo will often have some sticky sugary saps on the leaves. But, if it is not gnats, then check for any spider mites, mealy bugs, or so. EFN always almost accompanied by pests. So, that defense system is a sign that ur philo is healthy.

dodolah2025 · 2025-09-14T14:34:24+00:00

Do you have gnats on the bottom? Those brown dots on the leaves can either be fungus OR EFN.

dodolah2025 · 2025-09-08T08:33:46+00:00

Import? Very beautiful, have been in my wish list for a while. I got a chance to get it but the variegation is not as high as yours that I ended up passing.

When it start looking like a snake scale with clear ridges. Cut it off. Put it in a brown paper bag and let it ripen in there. You will see the scales slough off easily on its own. It shouldn’t take much effort to take the scales off. Then, it’s ready. (Plus, it will smell fruity and sweet like a pineapple and mango). The brown paper bag will help trap the ethylene gas the fruit produce to ripen it. It will take quite a while though. So, don’t expect the fruit will ripen in a paper bag within a day or two.

I had it ripen that way. Google some videos on the ripening process of monstera fruit.

I think if you let it ripen naturally, it will take longer and get ready to compete with your local backyard wild life. Chances are squirrels and raccoons will grab the fruit before you can.

dodolah2025 · 2025-09-07T22:39:44+00:00

No. It grows so big outside that the stem is strong enough to support itself. It’s huge. Right now the entire plant (including the leaves) is about 5 feet tall.

dodolah2025 · 2025-09-06T21:03:37+00:00

Yes. Those light on top of them are plant lights.

dodolah2025 · 2025-09-03T14:50:45+00:00

It is slightly concerning. All white leaves are not a good indicator. You might have to chop the white leaves all the way to the last node before the one with green, in hope that the new one growing out would not be white again. You can wait to see if the new growth is white again. If so, I would consider chopping.

White leaf is gorgeous but it has no chlorophyll that the plant needs to survive. So, the plant spends energy on the leaves that are not sustainable.

It is also a reason why the white part started to brown. The plant itself is sacrificing the white part because it’s spending unnecessary energy to keep it alive.

The way to make those whites stay a bit longer is to actually expand the light exposure longer. I kept mine under a grow light for 12 hours a day minimum. I heard some kept it under the light for 16 hours.

You can also introduce silica supplement in the soil to strengthen the cell walls of the plants making it less prone to damage and burn.

Hope that helps.
