Genius 😍 keep it up
I would own so many more of them if I had the space. When I first started in houseplants I was like why would you want one? They’re so big.
Got a deliciosa at my local grocery store for like $15 and it was like 2’ tall. I’m obsessed with her and I got a Thai con a few months ago who I’m also obsessed with and I want MORE. but I am already trying to figure out what I’m going to do with the two I have when they get even bigger 😬
Gorgeous!!
Might I suggest pinnatipartita and subpinnata if you choose to branch out further.
Pinnatipartita is like a mid-point between deliciousa and ‘peru’ (karstenianum), both in appearance and growth habit.
Subpinnata grows like an adansonii, but with a preference for a little more moisture, and looks like a very delicate rhaphidophora (palm-like leaves).
Also, look into Rhaphidophora. The genus is extremely close to Monstera, both taxonomically and in terms of care and appearance. The genus Amydrium is also very close. If you enjoy Monstera, you would likely enjoy those as well.
