#monsteramonday - getting some fresh air.

2) I noticed the tip of a developing leaf was unable to break through its sheath. I think it would have eventually ripped through but probably not without resulting in significant deformation so I helped it along. Has this ever happened to you?

An hour or two of direct sun on this staghorn fern is acceptable but then the plant would reach critical dryness faster, meaning that I would have to water sooner (and yes, I have to take the whole plant down, run it in the shower, wait for it to stop dripping, and then carefully lift it back onto the hook).
-
Light modifier: a white sheer curtain to diffuse direct sun. It’s a great way to lessen the heat stress on your plants that prefer “bright indirect light” (no need to do this for cacti).

2) In a nursery growing tropical foliage plants, shade cloth is used for the same purpose.

Staghorn fern watering strategy: given adequate lighting, I just feel the sphagnum moss. When it reaches the point of feeling dry but still soft, then I can water sometime within the week. If I wait longer, the moss becomes hard: that’s the WATER IMMEDIATELY signal.

First visit to my monstera as a married couple #monsteramonday

FAQ: plant is lit by a west facing door (seen in photo) that gets a few hours of direct sun and a large north facing window (off screen to the right). At this light level, I can safely pour in about a liter and a half of water each week when I see this plant at church. Monsteras grow as vines so what you are seeing here is 7 vines tied together against a sturdy metal trellis (they’re not rooted against the trellis). I’ve had this monstera for 4 years - for the full story, find the monstera post on my blog at www.houseplantjournal.com

#monsteramonday - I haven’t seen my monstera since July 1 (when this photo was taken). I’m sure it’s doing well under the care of those I’ve trained but it will be nice to visit and see its progress next week
