Comments (6)I have a clivia - orange - that I purchased at the Boston Flower Show about 35 years ago. It continues to bloom but the stalk is indeed too short. I give it the winter resting period and I only water about once a month the rest of the year. As I recall, it is a light feeder so feed accordingly. I do so in the spring a bit, a little in the summer and not at all in the fall or winter. Wish I could get a taller stalk. Thanks. "Just hope this is not the type of clivia with short stalk" I didn't know there was such a thing -- hope not....See MoreMonstera leaves turning yellow and other concerns
Comments (0)Hi, I have a monstera plant that I purchased in December, not sure how old it is but I've noticed as many as 4-7 leaves have turned yellow. I'm also having issues stabilizing the plant. I've since removed 4 of them but I see 3 more current & forming on the bigger leaves. I am concerned because I'm not sure if lighting is the issue or if it's how I water my plant. I typically place the plant near the window when I go to work then I move it near my closet at night to avoid damage from my central heating info. I've read to water it once a month in the winter but again my water may not be enough(?). I'm not sure. My pot does have a drainage hole or 2 and I spritz the leaves normally. I also changed the pot and noticed that the aerial roots just above the soil formed like a shell around the pot. Sort of like a hat above the roots below the soil. I did my best to loosen the roots below the soil but now it seems this has caused the plant to lean now because it is too heavy. I tried to get the roots flow down in the pot but I guess they've gotten use to that shell under the aerial roots and have grown to that shape very near the top of the pot. This made it hard to add soil below the aerial roots and now that the roots are loosed the top heavy plant raises pulling the "hat" and soil up out of the pot. What should I do once I purchase my moss pole or PVC pipe?...See MoreHow to get a monstera deliciosa to grow up a pole?
Comments (6)Ah, okay, that does look like a Monstera leaf. The first photo didn't show any of those. I would gradually increase the level of sunlight that it's getting, especially since its leaves are variegated. This will help the plant to grow much stronger, with much larger leaves. When I bring mine back indoors for the winter, it still grows new leaves, but those leaves are much smaller in comparison. Only when I move it back outdoors does it grow much larger leaves. Yours was probably grown in low light levels, which would cause it to grow the way it did....See MoreLove, Life, and Beauty
