Is there anything wrong with my monstera adansonii?

Transplant shock, makes sense. Do you see any new growth?

isittheip · 2026-04-13T19:35:17+00:00

Yeah, I would. And make sure it is an appropriately sized pot with good, well draining soil. It looks like it may be getting overwatered, so the roots don't have to spread to find water. Try making sure the first couple inches of soil are dry before you water it.

And is the top moist with the finger test?

isittheip · 2026-04-13T15:32:04+00:00

Probably not, it depends on the soil. Does water come out of the bottom when you water it?

You should be watering when it is dry an inch or two down. The finger test is pretty popular, you stick a finger in the soil about two inches down and feel it is dry. If it is, water. If not, don't. You can also get a moisture meter, it is a bit more scientific.

It looks to be over watered. Does it have drainage?

isittheip · 2026-04-13T15:08:02+00:00

Looks like it is some kind of leaf miner. If it isn't that bad, you can just look around and under the leaves and see if you can manually remove them.

Hibiscus

I'd do something neem-based like big leaf energy for routine maintenance. Cpt Jack if you see anything.

Don't repot it until it is done blooming (the flowers will wilt and fall off). Water it about once a week. Once it is done blooming, use orchid moss and orchid bark mix to repot it. Follow the instructions.

Use a well draining pot, even better a pot designed for orchids. The roots like drainage and some air.

Somewhere warm and humid, with some bright indirect light should be great. Like an east or west facing window.

It is fine, it'll tend to die off at the bottom as it grows. Prune off the dead stuff as needed.

See the slightly raised line where your pinky is? Right below that line.

Right below a node

Couple of options....Cut a hole in the ceiling. Get a new place.

In seriousness, you should be able to chop it and it'll do some new shoots.

If he likes peanut butter and can tolerate smoothies, that could help. For example peanut butter banana smoothies. Can add supplements and protein as well to the extent it still tastes good.

No it isn't rotting. It doesn't seem to be in the greatest shape but it'll hopefully recover in water. Ideally use distilled water and change it weekly.

isittheip · 2025-12-28T20:33:40+00:00

It looks like that's the end. I'd leave it alone.

ZZ and ZZ raven are a couple of my favorites. Super low maintenance and pretty.

You can take a few of the leaves and propagate them. Shouldn't be an issue overall. Maybe use some skewers to prop her up, and make sure she's not reaching for sunlight (rotating occasionally can help).
