• Pictured above is my baby monstera. I purchased her as a 6in back in August of 2020, and I'll admit, she was in a bit of a rough state (scored a discount): very droopy, damaged, and not much foliage. Lately, she's been a bit finicky; however, she has been a breeze caring for. Watering when top 1-2in of soil is dry on a weekly schedule, and I keep her in a bright corner that receives indirect light. So far, I've sadly lost a leaf (also may be losing another if you spotted the yellow tip), but I've gained quite a bit of new leaves that let me know she's hanging in there. Another tip, add a moss pole or trellis (I'm waiting for Spring) as these plants love to climb, and it will encourage the production of larger leaves with splits!

• This guy right here has grown so much, and I'm proud! I purchased him as a 6in back in June of 2020 and mistakenly almost fried it alive by keeping him on my balcony in direct sun with very little water. I brought it in after a month or two and kept it in medium indirect light, and he's been thriving since! Now he's getting tall and even produced two new leaves (stalks? tongues?). I would consider this very low maintenance, needing water on a biweekly schedule or when you notice the soil is relatively dry. It can also tolerate low light and some* direct sun.
