So I’ve unfortunately neglected my plants for the past few weeks whilst I’ve been in the process of grieving and planning my sisters funeral. I noticed a new leaf growing but didn’t expect much to come from it as I’ve watered it maybe once in 3.5 weeks. My sister always teased me (in a loving way) about how much I wanted a fenestrated leaf on my Monstera. She wasn’t into plants as I am and her take was β€œwhy would you want your plant to have holes in it?” I would reply something along the lines of β€œcause it looks cool and shit”. She would always laugh at me and say β€œyou’re so weird”
In her last few months she lived with me as I was her full time carer and asked me almost daily if my leaves were β€˜holy’ yet and my response was always β€œsadly not yet”.
Yesterday was her funeral and I said my final goodbye. This morning I’ve woken up and walked past my monstera to find THIS. Call it a coincidence, call it a sign.. I’m not sure but I just wanted to share bc it was pretty fucking cool and it absolutely made my morning πŸ˜ŠπŸ’›πŸͺ΄

    This is wonderful-I was sure after my Mom died that she caused her Hoya to bloom for the first time in my care! She was hesitant to gift it as she loved it so-who says plants can’t help us heal! I’m very sorry for your deep loss and hope you continue to heal with this beautiful monstera by your side!πŸ’š
