Can anyone advise on potting on the babies? Do i wait till the original leaf disintegrates?! Been propping leaves, pic of mum attached she is out of control!

Oh yes I wasn't going to do anything yet, I'm basically ignoring them! I am liking this bonsai experiment idea.Steady now, they're still very, very tiny.
I'd wait until they were about 2 inches tall and then stick them in 1.5" mini pots of a succulent mix - they seem to absolutely adore being forgotten about until they're so top heavy they topple over before repotting.
Maybe experiment with one as a single stem tree/poundshop Bonsai, one with the leading shoot lopped off once it starts sending out a couple of side branches and one just allowed to do whatever the hell it likes?
Temperature or pests are the only things I can think of check the underside of the leaves. I have to bring my monstera albo into the warmest room as it gets so dramatic in winter.Does anyone have any advice for a droopy, flopping monstera that seems to be wilting at the leaf edges? I have moss poles to support him and a grow light to replace the sun. I don't overwater either I'm keen to save him as he is quite large now and I grew him from small. My mini monstera seems to be going the same way.
Please tell me, how did you grow this beautiful beast?! I would love one like that!!First leaf baby of the year. I don't know where he's going to go if he gets much bigger View attachment 2673260View attachment 2673261
Honestly, I have no idea. He was £3.99 in Lidl 4 years ago. He lives in our kitchen next to a row of bifolds and has a velux above him so all the light probably helps. A little bit of neglect and Just repotted when I thought it needed. I've said it isn't getting another pot but it doesn't seem to care, just getting bigger and bigger. I cut off ariel roots and water when I remember. I've had to cut off yellowing leaves but it seemed to enjoy that and got bigger. Some leaves went crusty at the edges so I trimmed the brown bits off . I've tried propagating him but it didn't survive. Oh and he's tied to a tiny moss pole, I must get a bigger one this year!Please tell me, how did you grow this beautiful beast?! I would love one like that!!
Oh man that’s a gorgeous plant. I had one of those and despite being in a bright room it died.Drippy now reported plus in doing so I used his old pot for another plant to upgrade them, thus I've actually rehoused 4 now. What a mess I made though
He lives on the upstairs landing underneath a velux window and its not particularly warm there (we don't have CH here).Oh man that’s a gorgeous plant. I had one of those and despite being in a bright room it died.

He is! Not bad for a cheapo Lidl offerring is he?Drippy is gorgeous
Personally I water them all on the same day each week. Easy to keep track then. Or maybe mark on the calendar? We have a week planner on the fridge and I write ‘cacti’ when it’s a cactus watering week and ‘plants’ when it’s a general watering day for all the others.Sorry if this has been mentioned before, I’ve had a look back through a few pages but couldn’t see anything….
Has anyone tried an app, or used any sort of other recorded method for watering their plants? I’ve recently moved into a new house and acquired quite a few house plants which all seem to need watering/caring for at different times, I keep losing track of what has been watered when, and think I’m a bit of an over-waterer
