My history teacher had a giant monstera just like that! She named him "Fred". One day some vandals literally burned our school to the ground, and Fred was nothing but a charred stump. In tears, my teacher threw Fred in the trash along with everything else that was destroyed in the fire. The school janitor saw the Stump of Fred in the trash and rescued it. Repotted it, watered it, and some time later, it grew new shoots! In tears of joy now, my teacher accepted Fred back, and my last year at that school I got to watch Fred unfurl new leaf after new leaf as it quickly revived into a thriving new plant! It was an inspirational story for me my whole life, recognizing that even when things look their worst sometimes there is new life still possible.

I love your personality and sense of humor (at least what you share with us). It’s refreshing and honestly your videos feel like a cozy hug ✨

Girl you need a good sackbarrow. I couldn't move my large pots without mine. You've done a really good job with that plank; what a good idea.😊

Your videos are so chaotic. I love it! You trying to get that plant outside was so realistic for us all. I love that you’re real and not going for some social media perfection.

Girl, I was not expecting you to lift the whole plant and pot and plank!! And then dip through the door! Fantastic

Krystal, I've been house planting since high school 40+ years ago , and I still feel the same as you appear to when a plant put on a new leaf, flower, or root. I love watching you and your beefs😂😂

You need some planty friends to call on when doing something like this, lol! Beautiful job!

i only started my houseplant obsession last fall and now i have 42 different kinds of plants! i wouldn’t be able to keep half of them alive if i didn’t watch your videos. thanks to you i have 3 (!!!) orchids who are doing SO well, i used to never even be able to make one last until the blooms fell off!! when i get a new one i always search “plants with krystal [insert plant here]” because i enjoy your videos the most and you’re very concise

Enjoying your company as I work this morning ☺️

Just found you and I'm hooked! Became a plant mom shortly after my mom passed(March 27th) and needed something new to shift my focus. I love your videos and will be looking to you for guidance on this new journey in my life🥰🐸

Dang girl! 💪🏻 That monstera was a beast!

I love your videos! I was recently at a plant nursery and I noticed their “carts” were Radio Flyers. Customers we’re rolling around with large beefs in red wagons. Something with wheels may help you transport your plants. Not that you were asking, but just in case you ever wanted ideas.💚 💚 💚

You're my favorite plant person!

You might try a dolly (hand truck) when moving heavy plants. I have to move mine alone, too, and it is a huge help.

I’ve been a plant parent for almost 2 years now and really starting to get the hang of things and starting to grow my collection. Still scared to spend a lot of money on a plant, but my schmedium monstera is thriving and one day I want it to be so big I have to move furniture too for it 😅

The plant was a few doors down, didn’t fit in the car, but you had a wheelbarrow. The plank fit snug, but it ultimately fit! I’d say it was def meant to be from the beginning🙌🏾💯💚

Lol struggle bus! I had my cedar plank from hatch to windshield 😂 maybe I’ll ask Home Depot to cut it for me next time, but carpenter hubby wood be pissed if I paid for the service! 😂

You are so lovely. You did an amazing job of that by yourself!!! Good thing you are ‘strong like bull’. 😁

I’ve been loving watching your videos since becoming avidly invested in my plants. My husband and I were talking about my next plant having to be a monstera, then I saw your video where you went to pick yours up. The same day I went to a store for other yard related items and found my own! (It’s way smaller than yours but my biggest plant so far) I can’t tell you how happy I am to see you starting to make more videos with it. I watched as many as I could from other creators but you make me laugh the most. Can’t wait to see what else is in store!
