When I moved from San Ramon, I brought many plants in pots, houseplants, and outside plants. When you move to a new location, it takes time to find the best lighting location for each plant, and it took extra time because I was trying to unpack and put things away in the new house. Then in September of that year, the explosion occurred. The plants that were not immediately devastated languished and died from lack of care during the repair phase, and I’ve delayed replacing the plants that I lost. One was my grandmother’s fern, and I felt terrible about that loss. Anyway, I have begun purchasing and propagating plants once again. I’ve written about some of my plants in earlier blogs, and I will write more and include you in my journey.
My good friend, Bhavana, Cosmo’s mom, shared some cuttings from her beautiful Monstera Deliciosa with me. A Monstera Deliciosa is a new plant for me.
In the saucers of all of my plants, I place enough small stones (I use river rock) to keep the plant from sitting in excess drained water but provide additional humidity around the plant.
Both of my new Monstera Deliciosa plants might have preferred a window location with partial sun, but they are toxic to pets. Either Teddy or Summer might try to eat the leaves, and I can’t have that. I will keep you posted on their progress. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
