Today I inherited 2 cuttings of the Monstera Adansonii or some called it the Monstera Cheese plant because of the holes on its leaves like cheese.
Now why do I say it’s fun? Coz you can decide how you want to plant it! As a climber, a vine or just plain stick up leaves!
Makes me wonder how much joy Adam was having in the garden of Eden when God placed him there to take care of the plant
Genesis 2:15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
So here’s the look that I favor which is upright standing leaves.
And to achieve this effect I’d need to do some cuttings on the current vines or stems I’ve been given.
I can do 2 cuttings which will allow me to position the leafs independently or just 1 at the yellow mark, cut and the 3 leaf continue growing from the main branch.
Which is why I say planting is really pretty fun. Or in the future if it keeps growing I can convert it into a climber!
Meanwhile priority is to get the roots growing and we’ll see how it how’s next. But it’ll take almost 3 weeks which is 21 days. So I’d need to think fast else time will be wasted.
Anyway I’m going to rest and think about it tomorrow instead. For now I’ll let this monster to rest 😉
