Gardener's Log
04/2019: Bought a 6-inch pot from Sky Nursery - 2 for one in the same pot! Split into 2 pots and placed into the sunroom. Also moved my previous monstera from inside into the sunroom, planted in a large container.
This plant needs more light than it was getting inside the family room. It had not many splits and pretty small leaves, although I was apparently underwatering it too (which I discovered as I repotted my first specimen).
As of this post, I repotted the first and added 2 more to the sunroom. Overall it seems like a pretty hardy plant. It survived an encounter with the cat that sent the pot and plant tumbling over, breaking off half its leaves.
