Monstera is What I Want

A former colleague of mine is selling a monstera plant to me today. Since I cannot go out, I asked him to reserve it for me and be picked tentatively next week. He is selling it for Php 250 ($5.21). It seems not that pricey like the ones that I had seen in some plants nursery in town. This kind of plant grows very huge. Is a huge plant worth it in your garden?

We will be looking for tiny plants when we move later in a couple of weeks. We won't have very much room at all.

I can relate to you. Most of my brother's plants turned into bonsai because of limited space here. I hope things will be smooth when moving out.

Congrats for getting it on the cheaper price than what you may not have got it from the nursery. I would love to have it planted if I had a garden.

I have this plant in my garden. I have made one post here when I brought it small from my friends garden. It's big now. Not sure why but we call it as prayer plant.

I had seen some that really grow huge. I can't wait for this plant to show its hugeness.

@Shavkat They generally grow huge in wild where mostly they grow taking support of trunks of big trees. in my garden, I keep trimming them. They are a beauty to have in your garden.

Monstera looks good, I never tried growing this plant. Ornamental plants are easy to maintain

I think another myLotter wrote about that plant before. Is the name monster in English?

Definitely. But also it depends on your garden, If you have a small and cozy garden, then it might not suit you. if you have a big garden or a backyard then over there it makes sense, I think.

I do agree that we need to consider the size of the area for these plants.

@Shavkat Exactly, the bigger the area the bigger plant we can get. The smaller the area, the smaller plant we will have to get.
