🌿 Things people do to Monsteras that drive me CRAZY 😂

Cutting off every aerial root.
Tying every single petiole to the moss pole.
Misting the leaves 47 times a day.
Repotting into a huge pot right away
Using a cache pot with no drainage hole
And the list goes on…

Some of these might actually surprise you, and some of them are just straight-up plant crimes. 🚨🌱

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever seen someone do to a Monstera? Drop it in the comments because I KNOW there are more.👀

🌿 Monstera albo vs. Monstera albo borsigiana… what’s the difference?

Here’s the short version: “Albo” refers to the variegation, not the plant itself.🤍

Monstera deliciosa is the species, while borsigiana has historically been used to describe a smaller-growing form of M. deliciosa. So when you hear “Monstera albo borsigiana,” they’re referring to a variegated, smaller-form Monstera deliciosa.

But there’s a catch 👀, the whole deliciosa vs. borsigiana classification is debated, and you can’t always reliably determine which one you have just by looking at the plant.

So if someone tells you, “That’s an albo, so it HAS to be a borsigiana”… not necessarily! 😂

Did you know this? And what plant topic should I cover next? 🌱

🌿 LARGE FORM vs. “REGULAR” FORM… but what does that actually mean? 👀

“Large form” is a term you’ll hear constantly in the aroid collecting world, especially with Monsteras. But does a large leaf automatically mean a plant is large form? Nope!

Large form generally refers to a plant’s overall mature growth morphology, things like leaf size, stem and petiole structure, growth habit, and how substantial the plant becomes as it matures. 🌱

And here’s the tricky part: with a young plant, it can be really difficult (and sometimes impossible) to confidently determine its mature form just by looking at a few juvenile leaves. Growing conditions can also have a HUGE impact on leaf size.

You’ll also hear “large form” used with other aroids, including Anthuriums and Philodendrons, so it isn’t a term exclusive to Monsteras.

So before you pay a premium for a tiny plant labeled “large form,” it’s worth understanding what that label actually tells you! 👀

Would you trust a seller’s “large form” label on a juvenile plant, or would you want to see mature growth/provenance first? 🌿👇

And if there’s a plant question or topic you’d like me to cover in a future video, drop it in the comments! I’m always looking for ideas for more educational plant content. 🌱

📦🌱 Still nervous about ordering a live plant online? I completely understand, let me help with that!

As an online plant buyer myself, I know how nerve-wracking it can be to order a plant and then trust that it’s going to make its way to you safely. That’s why I put 100% effort, love, and care into packaging every single order. ❤️

I recently shipped a couple of plants all the way to Florida, and this wonderful customer left me a 5-star review sharing how happy she was with her plants and how they arrived! 🥹🌿

I’ve now shipped well over 400 plants all across the United States, and thankfully, I’ve had very few casualties along the way. While I can never guarantee that every plant will arrive perfectly, once a package leaves my hands, there are things outside of my control, however, I can guarantee that I will do everything I possibly can to give your plants the safest journey I can. 📦💚

And I want you to feel comfortable ordering from me! That’s why my website has several resources to help you before and after your purchase, including:

🌱 Frequently Asked Questions
🌱 A little bit about my business
🌱 Plant care information
🌱 Blog posts covering different plant-care topics

Whether you’re a longtime plant collector or ordering your very first plant online, I want you to feel confident knowing that your plants are being packed with the same care that I would want for my own plants. 🌿

Thank you to everyone who has trusted me to send a little piece of my collection to your home. It truly means so much! 🥹💚

If you’ve been nervous about ordering a plant online, I hope this helps ease some of those worries! 🌱📦

🚨 PLANT CRIMES: PART 1 🚨

I love my plants… but some of them are absolutely committing crimes against me. 😂

🌱 Yellowing leaves — suspicious behavior.
🍂 Brown leaves — straight to jail.
🪴 Falling off the shelf and launching dirt EVERYWHERE — aggravated assault.
🍃 Broken leaves — property damage.
🥴 Torn/distorted leaves — what exactly happened here?
🤨 A leaf with ZERO variegation on a variegated plant — fraud
💀 Completely rotted and dead — MURDER

And somehow I still look at every single one and say, “I love you.” 😂

What plant crime would you add to the list?👇

🌵 So… what exactly is “stress coloration” in succulents?

That gorgeous red, pink, purple, orange, or even deep burgundy coloring you see on some succulents can be a response to intense light exposure. ☀️

When a succulent receives strong light, it can produce protective pigments such as anthocyanins and carotenoids that help protect its cells from the effects of excess light and UV radiation. These pigments can act as a sort of natural sunscreen, which is what creates those beautiful color changes. 🌈

And despite the word “stress,” this isn’t necessarily a bad thing! In the right conditions, light stress is a normal protective response that allows the plant to better cope with high light levels.

That said, there’s an important distinction between stress coloration and sunburn. Gradually increasing a succulent’s light can encourage beautiful coloration, while suddenly exposing a plant to intense sunlight can cause actual damage like bleached, brown, crispy, or translucent patches that are signs that the plant has gone too far.

So when your succulent develops those gorgeous colors in brighter light, it may not be unhappy at all, it may simply be protecting itself and showing off while it does it. 😍🌵

✨ Stress ≠ suffering!
