This one’s for the true, hardcore monstera lovers only! Monstera obliqua (Peru form) is one of the soft after collect plants out there! Obliqua leaves are also paper thin and delicate, whereas adansonii leaves are slightly sturdier and have a bit of texture.

Loved by collectors for its stunning leaves that grow to incredible size with intricate fenestrations. The leaves start out small and lance shaped but grow larger and begin to fenestrate as they climb.

Fenestrations refers to the holes in the leaves that will develop as the plant grows into maturity. This is an adaption developed as when in their natural rainforest habitat, fenestrations allow the plant to maximise light exposure to lower leaves. Fenestrations also facilitate water reaching the plants roots. Some theories also suggest that the holes can help the plants withstand strong winds by allowing these essential elements wind to pass through the leaves with no tearing. This increased airflow is believed to help keep the plants cool in extremely humid rainforests. 

☀️This plant requires bright indirect light, avoid any harsh light or positioning this plant too close to a window as scorching or leaf burn can occur.

💧Monsteras like their soil to be kept evenly moist and it’s best not to let them completely dry out in between waterings as the leaves can start to droop. 

〰️These plants do require higher levels of humidity, leaf edges may dry and begin to brown if the ambient humidity is too low. You will generally start to see signs of this at the tips of the leaves. This isn't detrimental to the plant's health, but can look unsightly. You can increase humidity in your home by misting, grouping plants close together or sitting pot plants on a saucer filled with pebbles and water.

🌡️Like most popular houseplants, Monsteras prefer temperatures in the 18°C-30°C which is similar to their tropical native habitat. 

🪜Monsteras naturally want to climb so giving this plant some sort of climbing support will ensure it grows exceptionally well. A moss pole or simple stake will work a treat. Some people do prefer to grow these plant in a hanging basket and let the stems hang down. You will get mature leaves faster when letting the plant climb.

🍴It’s best to feed regularly during the warmer months and reduce frequency in winter. Alternatively, use a controlled release fertiliser at the beginning of spring and autumn.

✂️Remove dying or browning leaves and stems as required. Otherwise, there is no need to prune. These plants can be very easily grown by dividing mature clumps or from cuttings. Just snip below a node, place in water and wait a few weeks and it’s that easy. Fast to root, easy to transplant to soil. It also very easy to separate clumps by untangle the root ball and simply potting each clump separately. This plant is made for propagating given its growth rate!

🪴Monsteras prefer a well-draining potting mix. Using a mix of orchid bark, sphagnum moss, and perlite works well. They are also very commonly grown hydroponically with great success.

(You will receive a bare rooted plant, similar to the ones seen in the images. Each living plant is unique and may vary slightly in size, colour or shape.)

Gets the Creative Juices Flowing
Format: Paperback
I picked up this book after hearing Kim Addonizio give a reading at my college when I was an undergraduate. Creative Writing and poetry were my areas of emphasis and although we used a different textbook in my poetry class, I came to love this one. It won't give you the formal training in meter and poetic forms that another textbook might, but I love the examples and the prompts for inspiration. It's my favorite book to turn to when I feel the creative well is running dry. It's warm and funny and you feel a real presence from the authors as if you have teachers with you. I haven't met Dorianne Laux, but I have chatted with Kim Addonizio twice after readings and she was lovely. (Her readings are fantastic, by the way, and I highly recommend them!) If you are familiar with Kim Addonizio'ss poems then you shouldn't be surprised to find a section on erotic poetry in this book. Erotic poems have a long tradition in poetry and they are not "porn" as one reviewer suggested. Sexuality and sensuality are part of life and the artistic expression of such is a special skill set. I think it's fantastic that this book doesn't sensor that. I love the examples chosen for this book--many beautiful, contemporary poems that utilize vivid and unexpected imagery. I find them inspiring. They make me want to write and they make me want to be a better writer. I do believe that if you are a beginner or if you are considering this book as a textbook for a class you should consider it as a supplement to a book that goes into a little more depth in certain areas, such as Writing Poems (see if you can get an older edition, if you are lucky, as I see this book has become quite expensive). But this is a fantastic little book and I love having both a hard copy to underline and put notes in and a Kindle copy to keep with me on my phone so I can have a little inspiration with me for easy access. No matter where you are in your journey as a poet, I believe this is a wonderful book to have in your library.

Received brand new book in perfect condition for less than ten dollars
Format: Paperback
Received brand new book in perfect condition for less than ten dollars. I needed this exact book for a creative writing course and I enjoy the exercises within the different sections. They are very thought provoking and creativity stimulating and would be excellent inspiration for any poetic or even descriptive writer. Also, I find the writing style of the author amazingly easy to read. It is simple and straightforward, easy to follow and not boring as some other texts are. The tone is inspirational honestly, always providing tips and writing encouragement. This is a nice positive twist and delightful different perspective for aspiring writers and though it sounds to be directed at amateurs, I think any author who may experience writer's block at times could find this useful and full of insight to try out fresh perspectives to pen about topics that may be applied to a broad range of subjects. Quality informative and yet uplifting text regarding poetic writing!

Practical, Useful, Down to Earth, Inspiring!
Format: Paperback
I love this book. After reading the first chapter early one morning I went outside to feed and water my cats and came in and wrote a poem about flowing water, tangled morning glories and memories of my mother. It's one of the most inspiring, practical and encouraging books about writing poetry that I've ever read, and trust me, I've read them all. It has technical information and poems to illustrate each chapter, which is very helpful. The suggestions at the end of each chapter are down to earth and do-able, unlike some books that are just too high-minded for the average person. If you love to write poems and just need some inspiration and a little advice and encouragement, then definitely buy this book. It's worth its weight in gold!

Took me by surprise 😮
Format: Paperback
The revised part of my review: I do agree with a reviewer; Thomas "Should Have Been Better" Especially his paragraph here: [Unless (like the authors) you think that Sharon Olds' "passing blood and feces and water" and her "stool black with iron pills" (page 234) are high points in the world of modern poetry, you may resist their suggestion to "read all five of her books, for pleasure first, of course, but secondly to examine how she goes about her difficult task" (page 47).] As I have read more, I am reevaluating my own opinions of this book. I still feel it has been helpful, although much of it I would have preferred to have never read! Poor choice of examples to a student indeed! This, is my original review: I thought it was going to be a bunch of lame assignments, well there definitely are some assignments so to speak. I haven't even made it through half of the 1st chapter and I've written 6 or 7 new reflections (which some call poetry)! It digs deep, at least it did for me...pretty personal when you open yourself up to it. Good challenge and good lessons to glean from and grow as a writer. I still plan on keeping this around, probably with a few pages removed.
