    Subbed. This is one of the best vids I've seen on Monstera Albo's. I just found out that I might have bought the WRONG version for my albo, as I was after a deliciosa and bought a borgsigiana. I'm not sure which is best, but didn't realize the differences until after I received it. From what I understand the borg is more of a vining climbing plant, and the delic is more of a clump grower. Anyway, I'd love a vid on the differences and pro's and cons of each if you happen to be looking for new content to make. And this is a bit off topic, but if you are looking for new content, another plant that seems almost impossible to find content on is the Alocasia Jacklyn. I'd really love an indepth vid about that plant, very similar to this vid. Anyway, great vid and thanks for the info.

    • @prettyingreen
      @prettyingreen  2 года назад +1

      Hey thank you for the sub! I really appreciate it 😄 You’re spot on with the differences between small form and large form albo monsteras. Smaller tends to vine vertically, while the larger will vine but put out more aerial roots (instead of just the single per node). And of course the inner fenestrations and winged geniculum(sp?) I have a video called Borsigiana drama which outlines the scientifically accepted names and differences between these plants 😄

      @@prettyingreen I mentioned in another vid, but I am brand new to Monstera Albo's, and mine has one leaf that is getting more and more brown on the white section. Is there anything I can do to prevent this, or control it once it has started browning? Also, I am in the process of converting many of my plants to leca, but I am using a slightly different technique. I put all perlite in the bottom third of the glass container, and then leca on up to the top, keeping the water level just below the roots initially, until they start growing down. Thanks for providing great vids.

    I'm new to LECA and i usually use a moisture meter for my soil. What's the best way of figuring out when the leca/perlite mix is dry enough on the bottom to water again? Would a moisture meter still work for that? I have the albo under (but far away enough that it won't burn) a pretty intense grow light so I'm not sure where I land on that 1x - 2x week watering schedule.

    • @prettyingreen
      @prettyingreen  2 года назад +1

      You’d likely be at 1x per week. I wait for the bottom of the pot(at the drain hole) to not show signs of wetness or much moisture. It’s challenging to use a moisture meter with LECA/perlite. This week I wasn’t exactly sure of my interval, so at the 4 day mark, I poured out the media, and checked how wet the roots were: and it was exactly ready for a watering!
      I hope this helps!

    Thanks for this video! I recently bought a healthy monstera Albo plant with medium variegation. When I took it home the 3 newer leaves had no browning on the tips, now all leaves except the newest have small amounts of crispy browning on the green parts of the leaves (white looks healthy). I have heard contradictory things that the browning is caused by over and under watering. I have had the plant for 2 weeks and I have watered it twice when the top inch was completely dry. It's under a plant light and around 50% RH. The soil medium is 1:1:1 ratio of chunky perlite, coco coir chips and potting soil. I want to fix whatever I am doing quickly so any advice would be helpful. Overall the plant seems healthy it has sprouted a new leaf after having just sprouted one 2-3 weeks ago and it was repotted just before I purchased it by the shop owner.

    • @prettyingreen

      The crispy browning can be caused by a variety of things:
      1. Lack of light
      2. Too little humidity
      3. Too little watering
      It is usually a combination of these things, but even one being off can cause it. On my largest albo I downgraded the light and it immediately got browned edges

The soil seemed very dry today because I was advised that the browning was due to over watering. I just gave it a good soak and the water drained right through. Fingers crossed the browning will stop. I still see some 1mm translucent yellow edges around the crispy brown edges in a couple of spots. That was already an improvement from when I had 4-5 growing brown spots. So I think only 2 are growing now. Thanks for your help!
