A chipmunk got into my greenhouse and ate nine Bird of Paradise seedlings and four Monstera seedlings in an evening. These are what's left.

Yes, thats a no kill chipmunk trap in the background.

I remember learning that young monstera are unusual because they grow towards shade, rather than towards light. This is because in their rainforest homes they are ‘looking for’ a nice big tree to start climbing up.

Seen any evidence of this?
