Monstera adansonii, commonly known as the "Swiss Cheese Plant" due to its unique perforated leaves, is a popular and relatively easy-to-care-for houseplant. Here’s how to keep your Monstera adansonii happy and healthy:
Light
- Bright, Indirect Light: It thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can cause leaf burn, while too little light can slow growth and reduce leaf perforation. A spot near a window with filtered light is ideal.
Temperature
- Warm Temperatures: Maintain temperatures between 65°F and 85°F (18°C to 29°C).
Humidity
- High Humidity: Monstera adansonii prefers higher humidity levels. Aim for 60% or more. You can increase humidity by using a humidifier, placing the pot on a pebble tray with water, or grouping it with other plants.
Watering
- Moderate Watering: Water the plant when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Water thoroughly until it drains out of the bottom of the pot, then let the soil dry out slightly before watering again. Be cautious not to overwater, as it can lead to root rot.
Soil
- Well-Draining Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix. A mix designed for tropical plants, or a combination of peat, perlite, and orchid bark, works well. Good drainage is crucial to avoid waterlogged soil.
Fertilizing
- Balanced Fertilizer: Feed your Monstera adansonii every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Reduce feeding in the colder months.
Pruning and Maintenance
- Pruning: Prune as needed to control size and encourage bushier growth. Remove any yellow or damaged leaves to keep the plant healthy and improve air circulation.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep the plant looking its best.
Repotting
- Repotting Frequency: Repot your Monstera every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its pot. Choose a pot that is 1-2 inches larger in diameter than the current one and refresh the potting mix to provide new nutrients and space for growth.
Support
- Support Structure: As a climbing plant, Monstera adansonii may benefit from a moss pole or trellis to support its growth. This allows the plant to climb and develop larger leaves with more dramatic perforations.
Pests and Problems
- Watch for Pests: Be on the lookout for common pests like spider mites, mealybugs, and scale. Regularly inspect the plant and treat any infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
- Disease Prevention: Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal issues and ensure good air circulation around the plant to reduce the risk of mold and mildew.
With these care tips, your Monstera adansonii should thrive, adding a touch of tropical flair to your indoor space.

An action-packed dark romantasy
Format: Kindle
I loved this book! Queen of Roses is an Arthurian-inspired dark romantasy that is the first book in the Blood of Fae series. The story follows Morgan, the princess of Camelot who is rumored to be part fae. Fueled by prejudiced hatred and a mistrust of fae blood, Morgan’s abusive father strips her of her birthright and hands it to her half-brother, Arthur. Instead of becoming queen, Morgan is commanded to join the temple of the goddesses when she comes of age.
However, Arthur turns into a psychopathic, power-hungry, fae-hating king as he ages. He develops malevolent plans and commands Morgan to find an ancient weapon with legendary power. Although Morgan is wary of Arthur’s intentions, she embraces the opportunity to go on a journey and potentially change her fate.
The story picks up from there and we follow Morgan on her quest to find the ancient relic. It’s full of high stakes adventure, mystery, tension, banter, forced proximity, hidden magic, self discovery, and betrayal. This first installment of the series intricately develops the world building and character development. There’s little romance in this book, but it is evident that it is a slow burn that will continue to develop throughout the remainder of the series.
Overall, I loved the world building, the epic fantasy, Morgan’s journey of self discovery, and all of the twists and turns that set the stage for the future installments. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Arthurian Fae Quest…say less.
Format: Kindle
A fae centered Arthurian tale unlike any I’ve read so far. The author did a great job at descriptive world building, with scenes easily playing out in my minds eye. There was plenty of action, suspense, and even a touch of horror. An enemies to lovers, slow burn romance, a quest, with plot twist and turns aplenty. There was a love triangle, which I’m not usually a fan of but, it played out well in this story line. The FMC, Morgan Pendragon, was so blatantly naïve, yet I typically expect as much in a ‘book one’ of a series, especially one that features a fairly sheltered princess. I was happy to read that in spite of this, she still showed a strong sense of morals, fire, and spine. Now our MMC? Kairos Draven, aka Void’s Edge. Oh, how I’m a sucker for a smoking’ hot grumpy warrior alpha with a witty mouth, and a strong sense of “touch her and die” attitude, so you know who held all my cards. That ending? Just made me swoon all the harder. Now add a battlecat that rivals the size of a horse…and well Ms. Briar Boleyn you have well and truly stolen my heart. I’m excited to see where the story goes from here, and follow along to see more of the characters growth. I went into this story fairly blind, and I think I enjoyed it all the more because of it.
Once the story got going, it had me in an absolute chokehold and it was difficult to put down.

Thank you Netgalley and Briar Boleyn for the ARC!
A camelot/king Arthur retelling with fae. I was hooked by the idea of this book immediately and was eager to jump into this world.
• slow burn
• enemies to lovers
• who did this to you
Morgan Pendragon watched her mother die by her father's hand when she was just eight years old, hiding under the bed. Morgan is believed to have the tainted blood of the fae in her veins and is cast aside so that her fathers illegitimate son, Arthur, can become the king. She's seen his cruel treatment of the fae firsthand, so when he sends her on a journey to find a fae weapon she seizes the opportunity to do more with her life. Along the way, she finds more than she could have imagined.
I don't know a whole lot about King Arthur and Camelot but I had a lot of fun with this story! The plot has some similar tropes to popular romantasy books (From blood and ash) but there's enough originality here that it doesn't feel like I'm reading a copy. I liked how the fae were different in appearance than what is typical in most fantasy books I've read. In this book they have blue hair, violet skin and a wide range of other characteristics. I thought that the world building was easy to follow and I could easily immerse myself into this world. After reading the blurb I kept wondering when she was going to go on the journey to find Excalibur and it doesn't happen until around the 45% mark.
The story is a bit slow at times but starts to pick up once they begin their journey to find Excalibur. The John Wick style Inn was a fun concept that I enjoyed reading about.
There are a lot of similarities to this and FBAA and I would have liked to have it be a little more different, but I'm hoping book two will have the story turn into something of its own. Overall I enjoyed reading this story and I'm looking forward to reading book two especially after that ending.

Great start
Format: Kindle
I loved this book! It's funny but still deals with tough themes, like chronic illness, a serial killer on the loose, and a dash of self-harm. The guys are interesting and distinct, we don't know too much about them yet. It does end on a really terrible cliffhanger but on the bright side the next book is out and I believe the series is complete. I have enjoyed both of these authors separately and this is a great team up!

Fudge!
Format: Kindle
Titles aren’t my strong suit. Sorry not sorry.
That ending has me completely frustrated book two isn’t out yet. Just throwing that out there.
First thing first, this is a high school book where the lead is under 18. Yea yea she’s about month from being an adult, but I can’t say I would’ve even opened the file if I’d realized. It’s not a smut fest or anything, but there is sexual tension as each party figures out their emotions.
That being said, it’s a good book. There are some troubling parts, like how the supes come into their powers at 13, but most of those are dealt with in a way that makes sense. Kian is the exception. His whole arc pisses me off, especially since no one stepped in. Reflecting back on real world situations, ten or so years ago, I can see it happening, but it still makes me sick. Which, I’m sure was the whole damn point.
For the most part, Courting Darkness is a fun read. I found myself laughing along with most of the set up. By the time it started getting serious, I’d grown to like the characters enough it held an impact.
I’ll be adding book two to my list for when it comes out.
