Hey guys! Thank you for the love on my monstera Collection! I meant to tell you I linked most of the monstera videos I have on my channel down in the description box if you were interested in a certain plant, some go back a long time ago lol. Thank you for watching and being here! 🫶

Melissa, Are any of your Monstera Deliciosas on moss poles or are they now on wooden stakes or other support (that is not a moss pole)?

Your Monstera collection is stupendous. My impression is that it is more like an exhibit rather than just a collection, suitable for the Smithsonian. I’m not kidding. First we had King Tut’s tomb, now we have Melissa’s Plant Room. Ok, so that’s a pun intended. Wonderful plants and thanks for showing us.

Use silica to keep the white from browning.tell the monstera Peru you love it and you are proud of it and it is strong green resilient and quick growing. My bambino grew 6” in 1 week in low light when I started talking to it. 😊

Stunning stunning collection! 😍 The adansonii albo is such a scary plant. Saw many in my local group with tonnes of full moons. And most started from half moons as the base. Siltepecana looks like dubia but longer petioles haha! Just added in my to-get list. Thank you. And I for sure will get my hands on one Burle Marx Flame. One tiny leaf here can cost about $350+ 🥲

Thank you so much! Oh that’s interesting! It definitely has been a pain to grow and so scary! I get disappointed every time a white leaf dies I’m like not again 🥲 I love the siltepecana!

I had a beautiful Monstera Peru (not variegated) that was growing in Leca in a self watering pot and loved it. I bought it that way and it was my first experience with Leca. I agree that they prefer moderately lower lighting conditions and mine had much darker green leaves than yours as a result. I only parted with it because I moved countries. I love your collection Melissa!

As I've said before, all your plants are beautiful. But your Aurea is something special. I had no interest in one until I saw yours. But the Burle Marx flame is top tier wishlist plant. If I wasn't so scared to pay so much for a cutting, I would have one already.
@plantsbymelissa Жыл бұрын
Thank you so much! The aurea is definitely so beautiful and the flame is just gorgeous!!! I wasn't that interested in it until recently and now I feel like I need one but definitely going to wait on the price to come down. I paid so much for some of my plants during the pandemic and although I LOVE them they are much cheaper now lol. I should have waited a year for some of them.

For me, the aurea looks good, and I really like yours, but the aurea isn't even in the same league as the Albo. That bright white and dark green is just unparalleled. I've never thought that the Thai or the Aurea were anywhere close to as beautiful as the Albo. But I do really like those plants as well. Your Thai looks better than most, as it has the large sectorial white sections, that are prevalent with the Albo's. When Thai's have that large sectorial variegation, they do come close to some of the more average Albo's, but I've never seen a great Thai, that looked as good as a great Albo.

Breathtaking collection! However i have few notes… can we stop calling plants from big buck stores “rescues”? And also your comment - Its beautiful because its variegated rubbed me a wrong way… And Monstera Standleyana is variegated everytime, Its not an Albo 🤦🏻♂️ People need to stop with this… nothing against you, you are lovely :) Its just that all of my plant pet peeves happened in this video 🤷🏻♂️
@plantsbymelissa Жыл бұрын
You’re giving me a backhanded compliment 😅To answer your questions… I’ll call a plant from a big box store a rescue if I want to and in a lot of cases they are :) a monstera standleyana has different variegated varieties and mine is an albo. What do you call the aurea? 🤦♀️ I just so happen to love variegated plants and that’s perfectly okay 👌🏼
