Monstera Perú is a very resilient plant, I have one and I think it's a perfect plant for beginners. Thanks for sharing your experience. Nice video but my advice is , make them more dynamic. Good luck !!!
I let some of mine craw and they send shoots with no leafs. I think some kind of pole is going to help. I'm not sure if it has to be moss pole. I have mine on bamboo sticks. For now it seems to be sufficient.
Your Peru is gorgeous!! I remember few years ago when it was coming out on the market and me and my friend were scavenging Walmart and Lowes and Home Depot for it lol.
I have bunch of them. They need some direct light in the morning or evening to grow. Otherwise they are not going to do much. They are pretty tough. I believe they may be trained to live in full sun but I don't want to sacrifice any of them yet because they are going to be ugly for a while.
I just purchased the Monstera peru yesterday. It's such a beautiful plant. Yours is beautiful. I really like the cactus, another to add to my want list. Im a new plant mama and am curious what's the difference in this type of pole and moss poll? Why use one or the other?
Oh great question. The moss pole allows for areal roots to grow into the pole itself and be fed through the moist moss. Plants on them will typically grow larger leaves and vines because the pole turns into an extension of the root system. This coco coir pole doesn’t allow for that type of growth and rather is used more as a support system for the plant to climb up. Both are great, it’s just a matter of what you want the outcome to be. I hope this helps and I do have a video on moss poles on this channel. Enjoy your new plant! Congratulations on getting an awesome one!!
