      Bought mine 3 weeks ago with 65 cm leaves. I think they sold it cheaper because the leaves where a bit damaged, but I saw that the stem where 6,5 thick and hearing it was so much work to get huge leaves I thought I give this one a go, even if I had to start all over again with no blemish leaves, by cutting the top new leaf with the thick stem.

    Love that your thai got a spotlight video ❤ people aren't talking about them as much lately but they are beautiful! Mine just got her second leaf with fenestration. Im sure you must have it in a video but how do you keep the white parts white? All of my other variegated olants are fine but my thai gets brown spots

    • @plantsbymelissa
      @plantsbymelissa  3 місяці тому +1

      Glad I could share this one 🥰 I think the big new leaf made me really appreciate how far of a journey it's been on with me 🥹 I find most browning is caused by possibly a watering inconsistency where they take up too much water at once, lower light or a root health issue. Sometimes it just happens with being a white leaf though so it might not be anything you're doing. My monsteras started to brown when they got root rot. Since that has been corrected I don't see a lot of browning anymore.

      My older video is with "fox farm soil" so I don't use that anymore or any peat moss. It's kinda the same mix when I potted my aurea up in a video but I did change it again recently lol. Now I make a soil free mix that contains bark, pumice, lava rock (for weight), h. charcoal (less than 10%), vermiculite, coconut husk chips and tree fern. It doesn't have any additional nutrients so I fertilize right away.
