no such thing as a variegated golden chain tree says the internet. and yet

#variegation is a mutation. some plants are simply extremely easy to clone with the mutation intact; trees are usually not easy at all #it can happen to literally any plant though #laburnum #(don't know if anagyroides or alpinum and idc either tbh)#plantblr #my plants #adventures in gardening #also yes this is the second year it looks like this so it's no one year fluke

looking at the monstera my cousin got my grandma some time ago...why is it struggling so bad?????

if you can't repot it with fresh dirt, you should at the very least gently poke holes in the dirt with some kind of scewer (a chopstick for example). if the dirt is old, it might have hardened into a clump in the center/around the roots, and the water can't get to where it's most needed. the dirt will also turn hydrophobic. if your grandma tends to forget to water it and no one can be around regularly, buy or make a self waterer (a water bottle with tiny holes poked in the lid shoved into the dirt looks ugly but works like a charm)

it honestly doesn't look too bad, just thirsty

The hyper variegation looks cool, but the plant will not last if it doesn’t green up soon.

you should remove some/most of the completely white leaves. it looks rad as hell though! too bad it can't survive being just white... i almost always have the opposite problem with my variegated plants, so i'm a little jealous!

#you probably know perfectly well how to handle the plant and my advice is unwanted lol

Bartzella has been putting on a show the past week or so! These flowers are HUGE. I’m glad I planted one of these. It’s a fantastic garden performer. I almost passed on it because people say it smells like either cat pee or feet. To me, the scent is… well, I’m neutral to it, but it’s kind of musky. I can see how some people could get unpleasant notes from it.
