I “bought” a Thai Con from Home Depot a year ago and it never gave me a single new leaf (“bought” because the cashier tried to scan the plant three times and it wouldn’t scan so he just put it back in my cart muttering “whatever” so pretty sure I didn’t pay for it but didn’t realize until later when I got home and it wasn’t on the mile long receipt). I’ve done a lot of research, a lot of reading, and so much trial and error. Plants are hard. It’s crazy that they grow outside in the elements but sneeze at them wrong indoors and they wither away.

I currently have six monsteras (three Thai Cons, one deliciosa, and two swiss cheese) and they’re finally all growing. And it seems like each plant likes something different. The deliciosa loves its moss pole. The Thai Cons love the planks. The two Swiss cheese are small now but I think they’ll like the planks too. (One of the smaller Thai Cons has a yellow leaf right now, I think it’s just shocked from being repotted a few weeks ago).

Thanks to all the people on this sub that take time to write responses and give advice. I’ve read a lot of your comments on other people’s posts and the information has helped a lot. I’m excited to see their growth when they all move to the three season porch at the end of April when it warms up enough.

    Those look excellent. Treat them like a basic version of yourself. Get wicked adequate sunlight, support & food and they’ll be good.
