Hi! I took a clipping from my monstera adansonii and propogated in water until it had three 4 inch long roots then transferred to soil… How long should it take to see new growth up from the soil?

In reply to Trudy. Hi Trudy, put the whole plant in the shower and give it a good wash, wiping off all the leaves. This should help.

My monstera is healthy but plagued with spider mites(I think). They are black, do no damage. I have tried sticky sticks, vinegar and soap in a bowl. They recede
And then a week later are back.
I even changed the soil and added diametacious earth.
Any suggestions?

In reply to Rena. It depends on which one you have. The vining ones will grow up as tall as you let them! I have mine hanging, that looks really nice. You can wind some of the wines around each other for more fullness or prune them to keep the plant manageable.

My monstera is on a climbing stick. I have one that you can keep adding sections to. My question is should I just let it fall and stop adding sections to the climbing stick? Mine is very young, about a year old but is already almost 2 feet tall. Can Monstera grow in hanging pots as well?
Thank you,
