I've had my Monstera deliciosa for about three years now, and I'm finally seeing those characteristic fenestrations developing on the newer leaves. For the longest time I thought something was wrong with it, so I nearly
My Monstera finally split a leaf after two years of nothing but solid growth. I think the jump in brightness when I moved it closer to the window last spring actually made the difference—not just watering or fertilizer

I've had my Ficus lyrata for three years now, and I'm finally figuring out why the lower leaves kept dropping. Turns out in my arid climate, I was overwatering out of guilt. Once I matched watering to actual evaporation
I've had my fiddle leaf fig for about eight months now, and I'm still not entirely sure if it's thriving or just... tolerating me. It drops a leaf every few weeks, which stresses me out, but new growth keeps appearing a
I've had my Monstera deliciosa for about four months now and I'm finally seeing fenestration on a new leaf—it's small but I'm genuinely excited! I kept worrying I wasn't giving it enough light, but I think it just neede
