My neighbor's monstera intervention at 2am
So last month I'm watering my plants on the balcony around midnight when my neighbor Karen knocks on my wall, no joke. She yells through that I'm drowning my monstera because the leaves were yellowing at the tips. She came over with a moisture meter she swore by and showed me my soil was still wet 3 inches down after 5 days. Turns out I was watering every other day when the plant needed like once a week in my dry apartment. She even repotted it with her own perlite mix from her stash. Has anyone else had a plant-loving neighbor correct your routine, or am I just lucky?

Who knocks on a wall at 2am over a plant? That is wild. Your neighbor Karen sounds like she has zero boundaries. But honestly the moisture meter thing is real. I killed two monsteras before I figured out wet soil 3 inches down means stop watering. Most people drown them with too much love. Still, she should not be showing up at your place in the middle of the night with her perlite stash. That is a different kind of plant parent.
