Two years ago I bought this cute little plant. Awwww, isn't it neat? So much fun, in that little pot. Sorry I can't get the photo to turn, but you get the drift...

Today, I decided that I would do the needed repot. Thank goodness for the wheeled base!!

Thanks Will! And you were correct, it needed a bigger pot- thank you! I couldn't find that post because it was part of someone else's string. I think I'm going to keep it at this height from now on, and see how that goes.

Great growing!!! Thumbs up Thumbs up Thumbs up What a beautiful Split-Leaf Philodendron (Monstera deliciosa)

You should add both of those photos to the database, the photo of the small, juvenile plant, you can place in the category: Seedling or Young Plant and the photo of the mature specimen can go in the category: Entire Plant. You will earn an acorn for each photo!

Thanks, Lin! Thumbs up So nice of you

Good idea- I will add them to the database. This isn't a very well lit area where the monstera is located. There's afternoon sun but it's not all that great. I leave the light on all the time to the right of it, and that seems to make it happy. It's one of those- if it ain't broke, don't fix it things. Lol

When it comes to living plants, that's always been my motto "If it ain't broke ...." Smiling
