Some people not only take care of their own plants, but also those of their neighbors.
A rescue attempt was observed in Hanover.
Daisies, box trees and even bonsai: do you also have a favorite plant?
In Hanover, a woman recently came out as a big Monstera fan.
The popular houseplant with its large green and conspicuously slit leaves is also called window leaf and decorates many living areas.
But the plant native to the tropics does not thrive everywhere.
The wrong location and the wrong care let the Monstera wither away.
This case happened in Hanover.
The affected plant made it into an Instagram post from

.
All kinds of messages are published on the channel, often of a curious nature.
In the case of the monstera plant*, a concerned Rahel wrote: "Hi!
The Monstera will not feel comfortable here in the long run.
It would be a pity about this great plant!
For easier care you could put the aerial roots in a bowl of water.
Then the plant gets as much water as it needs and you only have to moisten the soil here and there.
Sorry to meddle, but I love this type of plants
.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Rahel".
The author ends by pointing out that she can adopt the "beauty" if desired.

Placing Monstera aerial roots in a bowl of water: good or bad tip?
In the comments under the post, the author is praised for her caring nature. But there are also a few critical voices who warn against the care tip mentioned. The user "Ruhrpottromantik" writes: "Please don't put the !air!roots in water. That's a misconception." As the portal
My Beautiful Garden
informs, you can use the air root water trick very well. For example, if you can't water the Monstera for a while due to a long vacation trip or similar, you can hang the aerial roots in a glass filled with water, according to the portal.
This ensures that you are adequately hydrated even when you are away.
A worried woman from Hanover used a note to alert the owner of a Monstera plant to its worrying condition.
