Continuing the saga of "Phylis Monster" (the Monstera deliciosa formerly known as Philodendron)...
Phylis was standing quietly in the dining room early this morning and when I passed by, she whispered, "I'm cold. Would you move me away from the front door, please?"
She's very polite and always says, "Please".
In the past month, she has grown about a foot taller and maybe two feet wider! It's not that she's just gaining weight, she is one of these mothers that is continuously pregnant... She has more little ones every week!
So, I moved her away from the front door and she smiled and went back to sleep... she sleeps a lot during the day!
Judy has done wonders with this little lady! She started with a root bound, scraggly looking, unnamed, wild thing that was about to kick the bucket (flower pot) and made it into a grand dame with a lacy green gown that waltzes around the floor when we're not looking...
