And I’m so excited to have her
But
But
When I say she's a monstrosity
I mean it
If you're new here, welcome
I talk about plants
And this is a Thai Constellation Monstera
I got this at Walmart for $55
$55
Also, friendly reminder
Always put your plant in a nursery pot in a decorative pot
Yeah
So
Thai Constellation care
Thai cons are pretty easy
When I first started, I killed like two or three of them and I was like, these are so hard
No
I just didn't know what the hell I was doing with plants
And I know you don't know what you're doing with plants, so let's get into it
Let's go over care
First little cheat sheet rule, whatever
Variegation = more light
If a plant is variegated, it automatically needs more light
Right?
If it has a lot of variegation meaning a lot of white, it means less photosynthesis rates can occur
That was a mouthful
You understand
Monstera's crave sunlight
They need their sun
Bright indirect sunlight
They can also handle some direct sunlight
That depends on where you are, where you live, I don't know
Just for the safety of this video, I'm gonna say bright indirect sunlight
Number two is watering
So
The thing with Thai Constellation is they are a little bit more prone to root rot than monsteras
And I know you're gonna forget that bitch
So remember
They are prone to root rot
Don't fret, that's not scary
Quick little fixes, you know, just don't let it sit in water
Make sure it drains really well
Has that chunky soil
If you don't have a chunky soil
I've got many videos on a chunky soil
Monstera's are hungry plants
As you can tell, their leaves are huge, which means they're gonna need a little bit more nutrients
Make sure she's fed
You should know what a node is
Node
Now
I'm gonna let this plant acclimate a little bit before I repot and stake her
But she's not very well supported as you can see
When you support
You've got the big stem
That's what you want up against the support, not these
My goal for her is to get more variegation and to get
Continuously big leaves like it has
But not have to cut them
Again, I got her from Walmart, so I'm sure they just went all crazy and didn't do the right care
Anyways
Love you
I'll keep you updated on her
Bye
