Sunlight

When the sun is too strong, you’ll often see bleached out foliage, and in extreme cases, holes burned straight through leaves. You may even notice the plant leaning away from the window in search of shade.

Before plopping your plants on a bright windowsill, you’ll need to evaluate the mount and intensity of light it prefers. Consider what direction the window faces. Southern and western exposures offer more direct light than eastern and northern facing windows. The type of window you have can also make a difference “Some of the old windows of historic homes don’t have as much UV filtration.

Defining Wellness

Self-care Mantra – Being willing to choose yourself, even when it’s unpopular. Her advice for staying sane in 2022– Incorporate achievable habits into your day, like scheduling time offline, going for a walk or audio journaling on your phone voice notes app. You can say anything you want, share things that you might be afraid to admit to someone else, and even do it while you’re driving or on the train. Either go back and listen to it later or delete it, but after giving yourself that freedom of expression, you’ll feel so much relief. – Yasmine Cheynne

How to tame a Monstera

Move it to a darker space

If yours is growing wild, chances are it is getting several hours of morning sun. (Monstera needs five to six if you’re trying to get your monstera to flourish.)

To slow its growth, then, try moving it to a shadier spot. While reducing the amount of light that shines on the monstera won’t kill it, it will alter the way that it branches out and prevent it from getting as big and lush.

Train it to grow up a moss pole

Training the monstera to grow upward is one way to prevent it from expanding outward and spilling into your living space.

Try placing it near a window and training it to climb a moss pole toward the natural light. 

Prune your monstera

Another way to control growth is by clipping back foliage. Trim leaves at the point about two inches below the node (where the leaf meets the stem) to shape your monstera and promote healthy growth.

One option is to turn those clippings into more monsteras. To go this route. Make sure the clipping has at least two to four leaves intact, so it’s essentially already a baby plant. Place it in water until it develops new roots, then transfer it to soil.

Stretch Yourself

You may be the go-to person on the job now, wowing higher ups and clients with your expertise. It may feel odd standing center stage instead of behind the scenes, but savor the moment.
