I loked after that name, and I learned that is a monstera. It had got about 4-5 leaves, and it was about 20cm tall. Wasn't any cut or hole on the leaves. The time passed and it grown well. Not too bushy, but I learned how to make more bushy. From the begining it produce a lot leaves during the year. Now it has got about 12 leaves. It hasn't got any cut or hole yet. I heard from other people it may takes 1-2 years to get them. Half year ago I bought a book about house plants and I found that two similar houseplants which are maybe one of my plant. But I am not sure which is mine. About Monstera the book sayes its a bigger, but slower grower, one year produce just 1 or 2 leaves. And its more horizontal grower. About the philodendron pertusum sayes its a climbing philodendron and much more faster than the other, but smaller. So I think mine is rather philodnendron pertusum than Monstera. Its not problem, i happy with it, just I wonder which is mine. And I would ask MadsHilde -because it seems has got same pland as mine- how long does it takes get cuts and holes on the leaves? I try to upload pictures about my lovely plant. (Sorry for my english I just speak a little bit) The first picture was take after buying, and the following twos show the leaf closer and roots -for identical the plant- and the last photo is about 4 month old photo. What do you think? What I have got? |
