Day 26 · a second-floor flat in Koramangala
“Keep the soil moist,” said the nursery counter. So Arjun watered his ₹1,450 Monstera every single morning.
The pot had no drainage hole. The roots sat in water for three weeks, and the leaves turned yellow one by one.
26waterings in 26 days. A Monstera in Bengaluru’s September needs about four.
Shop by the light in your room, not by what looks good on a shelf.

Right where a Monstera likes it. Hold the phone at the leaves for five seconds.

Tell it what the leaves are doing. It tells you what went wrong.
