Split Leaf Philodendron

AKA: Swiss cheese plant, Monstera,

Monstera deliciosa

UPDATE 2022: Monstera is loving its new home in the sunroom. See progress pics below!

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.

    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.

    About Me

    Hi! I'm Lorie and I wrangle plants in a muddy, feral shade garden in the Pacific Northwest. I built this site to serve as a gardening journal and quasi-accurate record of planting successes and failures. My goal is to help "future me" be a better gardener. I hope what I've learned along the way can be useful to you too. Thanks for visiting!
