Insane how fast monstera size up even when grown indoors with only artificial lighting. Pic in comments was taken 4+ months ago 1st June 2025.
It drinks 6 liters of water from the reservoir every 4 days, I have no idea how those influencers say they only water their monsteras once or twice a month?

Firstly never trust an influencer lmao. I saw one who said she waters hers like once in 7 weeks but I did mine every 2 weeks. It just depends on the plant and your environment
they always drink more when you use wick watering because if the soil medium is suitable you create an environment where the roots can constantly uptake water. watering from the top less frequently is good because top watering introduces the potential for oversaturating your soil medium which can kill your plant
That’s amazing! How is the weather? Is it warmer than usual and therefore she is more thirsty?
got my maths wrong. 5+ months ago
Wow, what lights do you use?
hehe if you take proper care of them they will reach the sealing in under 1 year 😅
What light are you using?
