Top 3 tips for a healthy plant: Light, water, well draining soil! 💡Light: Filtering Natural Light If your monstera is receiving too much direct sunlight, you can filter the light using sheer curtains or blinds. Monstera LOVE light but too bright can burn those leaves. Having it under a bright grow light works well too! 🫧Leaf clean ingredients: I’n using 2 drops of Castile soap, 2 cups water, 1/2 cup of insecticide spray 🍂My well draining soil mix: if I’m making my own soil mix I’ll use, an indoor potting mix, orchid bark, and perlite. If it’s a premade bag, I’m using @solsoils mix (use code PlantsKrystal10 for 10 percent off). 💦Water: when the soil is dry 3/4 way from the bottom to the top is dry, I’ll water throughly. If it’s constantly drying out completely, I find the leaves will curl and I’ll start to get crispier tips and yellowing leaves.

Hi Krystal, I need your help. Leaves are curling so I know I'm not watering like I should but what fertilizer do you use on your plants? I get so confused on which I need for which plant so honestly, I don't end up fertilizing any of them. Do you have a suggestion for an all purpose fertilizer? Or one in particular for the monstera?

Central Florida here ... I bought a small one and set it out in my backyard undecided 'where' I was going to plant it. Forgot about it and it decided for me. My monstera is now a monster. I surgically removed the pot yesterday by cutting it to pieces, took a couple of cuttings to propagate elsewhere in the yard. Aside from a little water now and then, I've done absolutely nothing for this beast and she is huge, shiny and gorgeous. 🥰

I've honestly given up on monstera bc while I LOVE how they look, I keep having problems with them and currently just can't seem get rid of a thrips infestation. I cut off a stem and put it in water to propagate but it died in less than a week lol. The mother plant is still going, kinda, but if I'm honest, if she dies I won't get a new one. I can't house a mature plant anyways they're way too wide to fit anywhere and my new apartment has unfortunate window placing and lighting anyways. Too bad but you can't always have what you want. I'm really enjoying my dieffenbachias and syngoniums though.

I have so far gotten one leaf to grow with the little extra holes (?)😅 but the last leaf that grew took a long time to even open and when it did it had brown crusty ends on the inner most part once it unraveled. Not sure why since I hear the brown leaves mean sun spots but this was during formation 🤷🏻♀️

Now after 5 years I have the biggest most gorgeous monstera ever, with leafs as big as my own body.
