Got this guy as a cutting from my dad. The original plant was my grandmothers who grew these huge monsteras in big vats that were built next to large windows in their petty bougie house. They were like trees.

They used to scare the shit out of me as a kid, because they cast these spooky shadows on the walls in the room I slept in when I had a sleepover there.

Anyway, I put this guy outside for the summer this year and boy did it thrive. It just put out a new huge leaf in the dead of winter with those double fenestrations I am told these do when they mature and have enough light.

How it started in 2023:

How it was going in September this year when I took it back inside (plus some of my other plants):

Very envious of your lovely plants!

To balance things out I have tons of fungus gnats after the summer outing to deal with right now.
