suffering through the heat death of the universe (new house has no air conditioning AND two floors AND i can't leave the house right this instant to get coconut water bc the dog finally stopped panicking and fell asleep (on my pillow)(help)), send me asks to ponder tomorrow while i unpack please

#how many 5 minute cold showers in one day is too many cold showers. asking for a me. i know we are in a drought #anyway i moved and it. sucked. moving sucks when you're single with no roommates did you know that #also my monstera is DYING HELLO. YOU GUYS SAID YOU WOULD TAKE CARE OF HIM WHILE I MOVED #YOU SAID YOU WOULD PUT HIM IN THE SUNNY CORNER WITH THE OTHER MONSTERA WHY IS HE IN THE MISERY CORNER #mom was like oh so we have katya the monstera (named after the trans woman she belonged to) we can name him kenneth :) no his name is elias #literally all i have left in this world are my monstera my two snake plants and my dog all of which are in various stages of disorder #if elias dies i will die. then you are left with my unkillable snake plants i named after former orioles during the pandemic. and my dog #thinking of getting another snake plant tho. i want a little one. i will name him adley. he will grow up big and strong. hopefully. #anyway send asks...morale is in the gutter. maybe tomorrow i will go apeshit in the safeway and buy a watermelon #fresno oilers.txt

okay but it is SO fucking funny to me that only watering my monstera with like, the leftover water from the water bowl that my cats clumsily drop food in all the fucking time so it’s always goddamn dirty and I’m always washing their bowl and replacing it because they apparently don’t understand how to fucking eat without dropping food in their water every time they go to their damn food bowl, has provided more growth to it than any real fertilizer I’ve ever used

like I have completely neglected this thing except for when I switch out my cats dirty water bowl every day and dump the leftover water/cat food remnants in it into the plant and it has been like absolutely popping the fuck off with growth ever since I’ve started doing this these last few months

did … did I just like … hack plants ??? does dirty cat food water fertilize plants better than the actual fertilizer I have that’s tailored for these specific plants ??? I have a wicked green thumb in general and can grow almost anything already but like … is this the key ??? is this the missing link ??? what have I unlocked here ??? I know so many people who can’t keep plants alive for shit and here I am barely fucking maintaining this fucker WITH JUST DIRTY CAT FOOD WATER and completely ignoring it otherwise and it’s growing ridiculously and putting out new leaves like it’s fucking nothing ??? and monsteras are known to be pretty finicky plants so like ??? I feel like I’ve accidentally stumbled upon and solved some illegal secret fucking growth puzzle bullshit about them by doing this just out of pure laziness and not wanting to spill the dirty water everywhere when I go to clean their bowl so I just dump it in the plant before I leave the room ???

now the urge to experiment and get another monstera to water with just fertilizer water to actually test which one genuinely works better is incredibly strong LMAO

#has hypothesis must experiment #someone buy me another monstera so I can conduct my experiments lmfao #like I spent a pretty penny on my monstera fertilizer and never got this much growth off the fucking thing as I do with dirty cat food wate #like wtf lmao I literally have 3 new leaves on her rn and I’ve ONLY dumped the dirty cat water in her soil for months now #and she’s been growing strong this whole time like #I must understand

My monstera obliqua and I like to play a game called “Leaf or Runner” where I guess whether the new node is going to be a leaf or a runner.

So far this node is looking like it might give me a leaf. But this fucker likes to get my hopes up and then laugh at me when it continues to run.

The Lacy Tree Philo and this Monstera are duking it out for my heart. They're both in the same building too, though on completely opposite sides. This is my favorite building to work, not just because of the incredible plants (the Philo has two new leaves and they're so soft!!!), but also because it has a bunch of chalk and white boards (which, ngl, I feel a bit guilty about cleaning). Sometimes people write things that remind me that humans can be good too... and I need that in my life (though a Monstersa I couldn't fit through my front door wouldn't hurt 😅).

#if you're wondering I buzzed my head cus I straight up don't tolerate the heat (never have) #I buzz my head every summer then grow it out through the cold months #it might make my queerness a fuck ton more visible #but no one on campus gives a fuck about that sooo......... #lol you can't even see my tats on my head cus it was so difficult to get the Monstera and my head in frame #plants #plantblr #houseplants #vines #Monstera #i don't know if this is large form or just a really big specimen #but jfc I about died when I saw it

maybe im projecting but i feel like Ollie would have a FUCKING HUGE monstera plant in his house thats taking over his living room

#ollie #anytime someone asks about it hes just ''good camouflage for me :]'' #in fact i feel like he would have a shit load of plants from his home continent that his mom keeps sending him #but again maybe im projecting AHA #like yeah he can forge weapons of war with his eyes closed and can maul a grown man to death but dammit that man knows his PLANTS #anyway i got a monstera over the winter bc ive wanted one for the longest time but i was sO scared of killing it #bc its higher maintenance than succulents and snake plants all that #and brother i aint got the remembrance or energy or executive function to be taknig care of high maintenance plants but luckily #my obsession has taken over and im doin pretty good keeping up with watering and i plan on getting it better soil for fertilization #it seems to be doing well and is even growing 3 new leaves AAOOOOO #one of the juvenile leaves even grew a lil hole in it and im :') #but i still gotta properly repot it and actually put poles in it to climb bc theyre kinda half ass put in there #but sPRING IS COMING i am ready #also have a monster adinsoniiiiiiihowever tf u spell it but same applies #i feel like just having 1 (or 2 kindof) that are high maintenance is goin good bc i can focus most of my energy on that like a pet PFFT #bc unfortunately i fear that if i had a shit load of high maintenance plants i would get overwhelmed and involuntarily make them all die #which SUCKS bc i want my house to be infested with so many plants sOOO BAD ugh maybe one day i wont be mentally ill lmfao 💗 #ANYWAY more pon ti comin soon

It's watering day, and we're getting a nice rain here, so I put the big kids outside for a bit. I love the way their leaves look with rain on them.

Bonus Leia's newest leaf passing the Big Leaf Test:

[ID: photo of a single big leaf with my hand for scale. Leaf is bigger than hand. End ID]

#the kids' names are Luke and Leia yes #they came in one pot and when i went to repot i realized they were twins. so #they were so so scraggly when i got them #previous owner had them barely supported with bamboo stakes and hair clips #and I'm pretty sure no grow light #in a Michigan winter #they were SO STRETCHED OUT #but I'm a stubborn fool and decided i was more interested in seeing if i could fix them up than in just having a nice monstera plant #so i got them moss poles and a grow light #and as soon as the weather permitted i put them on the enclosed porch #and oh BOY are they loving the light there #luke has put down THREE new aerial roots that i can see #Leia has two and might be about to start a third #their newest leaves are bigger than any of the ones they had when i got them #I'm crossing fingers we'll get some fenestrations soon as well #of course we are only two maybe three months away from frost season again #hopefully I'll be able to keep this momentum with grow lights after they come back inside
