NEW PLANT { MONSTERA DELICIOSA - SWISS CHEESE PLANT}

This one is a staple of all plant lovers and plant wanters. Getting it from small to big is hard but medium to big is all a matter of time!

As within the nature of most monsters and philodendrons, these suckers like their soil chunky : bark, coconut shavings, perlite and as much drainage as you can with a slightly acidic soil PH - so feel free to add some sphagnum moss in there . For those with a life , in short get some orchid bark and mix it with the general houseplant soil - its too stogie for a monstera on its own , so even that should be better than nothing and easy to get .

They like it warm, so winters are slow for them but they like the heating on ! Mist them but in reality, every once in a while get a cloth, wet it and wipe the leaves as the dust can stop is from photosynthesising ( in basic terms, it feels choked ). Dont worry, leaves get yellow, prune them when they do as shrivelled green leaves means its thirsty.

100% to growth poles, but I am NOT a fan of the coil onece . Frankly I discovered so light coconut onece that allow the roots to grow into it - its light, you put soil and moss on the inside and it feels and looks like a trunk (PMM me for details but you can find them in Dobbies , they are the environmentally supported onece).

Try and guide the aerial roots back into the ground - trust me it will love it and the support is great. They like being rootbound so when there is more root than soil in the pot - you can report it . Water wise it likes it well watered but not stodgy , that is what the drainage and the chunky soil is for! SOAK it , WIPE it and SQUEEZE the excess water out ( BOP it on a leave for a high five!) , and boom that is one happy little monster!

This fluffy leaved bastard is a ride and a half . They like MEDIUM light , so away from a direct window but not TOO away otherwise he gives a tantrum! They like it WELL WATERED , you want to have it moist, like all the time but not soggy so I recommend watering from the bottom. The TRICK to these is FILTERED WATER - ALWAYS and ONLY use filtered water and things will be easier! If the leaves look curled up, don't worry he is just a drama queen - sit him in water and in a few hours he will be his fluffy self. If you have a humidifier he will love it but otherwise MIST periodically and don't keep him by a draft. If you follow these guides, proceed to prey and hope you have appeased the Calanthe Gods!

Another one of my topical beauties and an excellent alternative to owning a type of Monstera without having to give up too much space . Now these can grow to be the leaves the size of a head or remain at a half palm/ palm size depending on the support. Regardless of its size though ,as long as it has something to CLIMB such as a CLIMING POLE , it will be happy. Personally I am currently using coconut bark poles because the are lighter to cary about and the roots just like to integrate themselves a little better than the cork once. They like it HUMID , so don’t let the leaves dry out , mist them occasionally . Watering can be a little more difficult . They like it WET but NOT MOIST,so a chunky soil mix is better as it allows easier drying so the soil isn’t soggy.The trick is always water when it is in a pot with drainage holes as to wait until the top feels dry - so in warmer months everything week( week and a half) and in colder two to three depending on how warm your house is. Careful ,as sometimes leaves like to grow into the holes of already existing once,so keep an eye on the troublemakers !

This one is a gem , easy to remember & easy to care for - the Arrowhead Vine.

Speckled Jim here likes the water MOIST, so in any month other than winter its hard to overwater this one. He also likes it HUMMID, as dry air will most likely make the leaves crispy and wrinkled . He also DOESNT like direct sunlight so indirect light suits him best making him a great bathroom plant or a lazy living room boy . On a dusty day if you feel like giving him some attention, he likes his leaves gently wiped with a damp cloth .
