Wanted to show off Albi, my 2 year old monstera albo 🙂 we got her when she was a top cutting with two leaves and she’s survived one move across the city so far (may need to move again as she’s clearly outgrown this house already…).
Two options right now:
1. Take top cutting and propagate
- Build a support structure for her to somehow crawl along the ceiling and go horizontal
(Secret option 3). Take off the roof of the house so there’s more room for Albi to grow upwards 🙂
What would you do?

Your house is too short for your Monstera*
4. Buy a new house! 😁
Personally I’d take a cutting. (If it was mine I’d just move it to living room, which has high ceiling. 🤫)
4. Give it away (To me)
Oooooooh do the ceiling thinggggg- let it crawl and canopy
Time to chop n prop
The Eames house has a monstera going across the roof and it is goals. How are you supporting this? It’s so dense and lovely. Are those grow lights? Drop her routine!!
4. Cut a piece with roots and donate to me 😁
Chop. And prop.
I need your lights where did you get them? Seems very effective…. This would never happen in my north flat…
What does your moss pole set up look like? I wish mine looks as compact as yours. Mine is sticking out every which way.
Propagate. Share the love and the bounty .
Which lights are those? Does it get natural light too?
Unfortunately, this is terminal. Let me know where I can pick it up.
I love being able to see the smaller leaves at the bottom and the ones that get bigger and bigger as she grows!
My first variegated momstera was an albo STUMP, she put out a leaf or two and quickly reverted. She’s just a large form now with solid green leaves but I love a large form so its ok. Your HEIGHT is goals! I need to dedicate an outlet and corner to mine! She was out in the Georgia sun all growing season and it was not bad, but I feel like she could have done better with supplemental lights and a strict feeding schedule.
Do you fertilize? Are to special lights (like Spider Farmer) or something more generic?
How many plants is that ?
Actually, your house is too small for your Monstera.
Steak too juicy, lobster too buttery
Chop your moss pole in half and put a extension on top of both.
My lobster’s too buttery and my steak is too juicy.
Happy plant no doubt!

Good looking plant ☘️
The proper thing to do is to cut a hole in the ceiling and let it grow taller 🤣. Beautiful albo
Chop it in half
I’d give me a cutting.
Steak too juicy lobster too buttery
Chop it halfway down so it can keep growing and make a ton of propagations.
I gasped when I saw this beautie.
Absolutely gorgeous.

Your monstera is gorgeous! I hope I’m not overstepping, but I noticed you may have some pests (looks like mealybugs from here) on this one! If you already knew, ignore me! But I just wanted to point it out in case you didn’t realize, that way your other beautiful plants stay safe
my pothos just asked me if we’re in an abusive relationship
i have 12 foot ceilings if you need a place for her. 🙂
she is gorgeous.
She’s a beaut Clark!

Cut a hole for her. Anything for her
