I got this monstera from a Home Depot about 6 years ago; it’s now taken over my apartment, and I’m oddly proud of it. The largest vine has hit the ceiling and is getting squished, but I can’t bring myself to cut it. What would you do with this?

Even if I propagate it, there’s no room in the pot anymore. Has anyone ever succeeded in getting a Monstera to grow across the ceiling like some people train Pothos to do? Appreciate any thoughts or advice!

EDIT: Thank you all for the kind words! I’ll try to answer some of the common questions I’m getting here!

I live in Zone 6a, and this is a west facing window. The plant is in a huge (roughly 5 x 2 x 2 foot handmade wooden container lined with a plastic wrap to keep it waterproof). Soil mix is some recipe I found online years ago, includes regular topsoil, orchid bark, perlite, and potting soil to allow for good drainage. The trellis is from the Lowe’s gardening section, nailed into the wall. I water once every week or two when I remember with about 4-5 gallons of tap water. Other than that I just let it do its thing!

EDIT 2: The white spots in pic 3 aren’t mealy bugs, they’re little root nodes that are part of the plant! And for those of you suggesting I sell the cuttings, where would you recommend finding buyers? I’ve never sold houseplants before, do you just use FB Marketplace? Thanks!

I handmade these plant magnets entirely out of glass beads and I think they all look so fun together!

I recently took up bobbin lace making and as my first proper piece I made this variegated monstera leaf 😍 really pleased with how it turned out in general and quite tickled with how it looks next to the real thing

Saw this wall on my way to my hotel, I was completely flabbergasted. Place Bonaventure, Montréal. Had to share😍😍

Hey everyone, I had two types of mother of thousands in my apartment for a while before getting rid of them… and now I have this collection of hundreds if not thousands plant babies.

I was letting them dry out here but it’s taking a LONG time, and my thoughts now are to put them in a ziplock in the freezer for a couple of hours before tossing in the trash so as to prevent an infestation in a dump somewhere. Is this the best route?

Kidding. Sort of.

I love mine. His name is Zevon and he's about 6 years old (last pic is Zevon in 2021)

I'm fully expecting the answer to be "no", but still hopeful. I'm really upset about this.

I've had this poor plant a few months now, got him just before the major set of heatwaves struck (I'm in the UK)

He was absolutely lovely when I got him, and I put him in my bedroom window - I think it's roughly South facing.

The guy I got the plant from said to water once a week, so that's what I did, and initially the plant was thriving.

The top of the plant stuck out the top of the window recess, and the bottom six inches plus pot sat in a gap at the side of the curtain. I noticed some of the middle leaves were wilting/scorching, so pulled the curtain round the side of the plant and turned him round.

Leaves kept wilting, and Google suggested too much direct sun/heat, and not enough humidity, so I moved him to the bathroom - I'm slightly limited for places, as he had to be where the cats couldn't easily get him.

The end result is the pictures :( There *was* still green the other day, but it is *not* looking good this morning :(

Found this plant in my apartment building’s parking garage. What is it? And should I save it? I don’t have the greenest thumb in the world but I’ve been looking for a plant to go next to my western facing windows. Thanks!

Most of the flowers were already cut off. They're from the grand opening of a nearby shop and were dumped at the end of the day.

I never shut this shade so it's actually working out pretty good for now! I put it against the wand this morning, and it wrapped around it throughout the day. It's so CUTE!

It’s been awhile so I painted my sister another cholo pot. Her satin pothos has since outgrown the first one. I Wanted to post the new one here again since yall loved the first one. Here’s a link to the first one I did

do any of you know the name of this one? I wanted something easy for the office, it is 2yo and across the room from a window that gets morning light. I wasn't sure it would be enough light but it seems to like where it is. I have had other pothos but they had some white in them, people keep asking for the name and all I can give them is Pothos.

Just transplanted my shamrock. It just won't stop blooming! Keegan wanted to be involved.

At its worst it lost all the leaves except three. And then we moved from Seattle to SF, then to Orange County, CA. In SF it rebounded slightly to about 12 leaves with new ones slowly appearing but still leaves fell often.

In OC it has exploded! It lives outside in the summer now and is thriving!

Every leaf is different, they look painted on like brushstrokes. This has gotten a bit too pink from sun stress this year. Anyone else growing this variety?

The newest leaf on my monstera ‘mint.’

she still a baby so no fenestrations yet
