Huh, never knew there was a plant thread! Got a monstera related question. Does new growth ever appear on the lower parts of the plant, or do new leaves only appear on top? Does cutting it back promote new growth? One of my monteras have gotten very leggy during the dark winter months. Repotted it a while back, but it has not been thriving at all after I repotted it. Guess I just need to give it some time settle. Lost quite a few of the lower leaves though. The top leaves seem healthy, but the plant is already fairly tall and there's not a whole lot going on at the bottom of the plant anymore :/ If I cut back some of the stems, there won't be any leaves left at all...

B33rChiller posted:Looks like nobody else wants to chime in on this one just yet. In my experience, new growth mostly shows up at the end of the vine, but sometimes it will branch out from some mid point. I'm not sure how to induce / prevent that? Or, new shoots will sprout from the roots. You might want to look into some sort of support for the vines you have. They can grow very long, given the chance. And by the looks of it, you might want a bigger pot for the amount of plant you have there. Thanks! Is that your monstera in the pic? It looks amazing! Never seen them grow that long indoors before... Mine is 3 years old, but if it keeps up this pace of legginess it'll be several meters long in a couple more years haha It's not that visible in the pic, but the plant has some support. I trained the main stems to bamboo sticks after repotting it. Before repotting, it was sort of laying across my entire windowsill, blocking out all my sunlight + looking ready to topple over. There was a couple of new sprouts a few months back, but they're very thin and leggy with small sadlooking leaves... I guess I'll just keep at it, and hope it survives the repotting. It was 110% rootbound in its last pot and I was a bit rough with the poor plant in the process :/ Truck Stop Daddy fucked around with this message at 12:31 on May 16, 2018 |

I posted a question about trimming monsteras to promote new growth a little while back. Cutting it back seems to promote growth! Plant is thriving again too

Any fellow goons in the arctic? Anyone know of any good gardening resources for arctic gardening? I recently bought a house with a big garden and want to start planning what to do with it. It's semi-coastal and situated in what I guess would equal hardiness zone 5a or 5b, with midnight sun in the summer. Quite a lot of lawn there, but I really prefer flowers. I think we'll convert parts of it and plant flowers and stuff for the bees and insects. Looking for ideas! I've been wanting a ginkgo tree for some time (have a tiny tiny one indoors, can't really call it a tree), but I doubt it will survive the winters or grow much here...
