New Monstera And Moving Things Around

A couple of days ago I got a new plant. This is my Monstera Deliciosa aka Swish Cheese Plant. I got it at Trader Joe's. This is one of the weird plants I have wanted but never wanted to pay a bunch for. They had it for 15 bucks so I kinda had to get it. The next morning it was dripping and I found a site that explained what was going on. It is a process called guttation which I had never heard of. Click here to check that site out and learn something. Now while I am sitting here buying new plants I am also trying to get rid of others and move things around.


My place is not huge and I have close to 100 of them. I decided to take down two of my three Ikea shelves and get as many plants as I could on one shelf. The one in the kitchen no longer had plants so that was not a problem. The other one had a lot of cuttings I was propagating or just multiples. The creeping charlie got put into one pot instead of five. I used others to shade the plants that didn't like/need a lot of light.



I like the way it all came together. My dragon fruit is still insane. I gave my kitchen ficus to my best friend since it can not do well in my apartment. It was not dying but it was not happy or growing. I have some cuttings to give to another friend soon. I mailed some to another. I'm not getting rid of all my plants in case anyone is wondering. Just cutting back on them and taking care of the ones I got. At this moment I have my snake plant and a pathos draining after putting them in proper pots. The tomato plants are doing good. The one hanging upside down is a weirdo and the two in pots are good though one is growing faster the the other. I put them in larger pots last night.
