Those holes are formed naturally and the process is called fenestration. A Monstera deliciosa with more fenestration are more gorgeous and sometimes more expensive.

Other Monstera Plants and plants similar plants

If you think Monstera deliciosa is really expensive, you can opt for its sister plant which is quite popular too.

This is a Monstera adansonii or swiss cheese plant. It’s not as big as Monstera deliciosa and also not as expensive. It also has holes on its leaves, although not as much. The price of Monstera adansonii ranges from 300 and up, depending on how big the plant is. I got mine from Halamanan sa Pasig for 350 pesos only (pot not included).

Other plants that are similar but are not part of the Monstera group is Epipremnum pinnatum or commonly known as Tibatib. Rhaphidophora tetrasperma also closely resembles a Monstera deliciosa. Philodendron bipinnatifidum or seollum is also a nice indoor plant but not as expensive.

Monstera deliciosa care and Monstera adansonii care

Monstera are tropical plants. This type of plants usually grow inside the forest, climbing a big tree. They do not like water that much as their stems are already full of water. They also do not like direct sunlight as the leaves will burn. Watering is once a week to 10 days, depending if the top soil is already dry, 2 inches deep. The best way to water this is to put water on the sides of the pot and not on the part where the plant is planted. As much as possible avoid watering the stems are. You can spray the leaves 2x a week with a solution to keep it shiny and free from infection. The solution I use is 1 L of water to 3-5 drops of dishwashing liquid, to 3-5 drops of oregano essential oil or thieves essential oil or 1 spoon of neem oil.

How to Use Downy Hypoallergenic for Automatic and Semi Automatic Washing Machine

How to Use Downy Hypoallergenic for Automatic Washing Machine? and how about Semi Automatic Washing Machine?

I never thought I will ever have this kind of problem in life.. not until my mom prompted me to buy a semi automatic washing machine. The idea behind buying a semi automatic washing machine is to teach the kids how to do the laundry without being intimidated by our big automatic washing machine.

Related topic: Downy Hypoallergenic Review

We have been using an 11 kg washing machine and my mother thinks it is a bit big for the kids. They say mothers know best, kaya sundin si mother.

So first, let me give you a quick talk about semi automatic washing machine vs automatic washing machine and their main difference.

With semi, you don’t do the washing but you need to operate it step by step. So it’s like someone is doing it for you but you’re guiding them. That’s why it’s called semi automatic.

Automatic washing machine on the hand, when it’s done, all you need to do is dry it or in some washing machine that has a built in dryer, you just have to fold it.

Sweet no? So when and how do you put Downy Hypoallergenic? And why use Downy Hypoallergenic for automatic washing machine?

Siguro iniisip nyo pang baby lang naman ang Downy Hypoallergenic, and it is easier to wash baby clothes on smaller washing machine o kaya hand wash, why use it sa automatic washing machine? Because you can also use Downy Hypoallergenic on your beddings, on your clothes, and towels. Downy Hypoallergenic is dermatologically tested with 0% dyes and 0% din ang added preservatives. Safe to use sa kahit anong damit. And we wash our towels sa automatic washing machine.

How to use it with automatic washing machine? Most automatic washing machine has a fabric conditioner dispenser. You put the Downy Hypoallergenic at the dispenser before starting a cycle. The washing machine is programmed to release the fabric conditioner during rinse time.

For semi automatic washing machine, we put Downy Hypoallergenic during the last rinse cycle. For better effect, spin dry the clothes first while putting water into the tub, pour the required amount of Downy Hypoallergenic (please read the back package for instruction). Start the washing machine and put the clothes back for the last rinse.

Based on our experience Downy Hypoallergenic works well in both washing machine. You just have to read and follow the instruction from the back.

Downy Hypoallergenic is now available in leading supermarkets but with our current situation now, we’re our buying ours from Downy Official Online store in Lazada: Downy Hypoallergenic Official Store

Downy Hypoallergenic comes in 5 sizes (23 ml, 36 ml, 690 ml, 1380 ml, and 800 ml). I recommend you buying the 800ml bottle then just buy the 1380 ml refill the next time you need it. The bottle cap is very useful when measuring how much Downy Hypoallergenic you need to put in your laundry.

Downy Hypoallergenic Review

What will make you love a certain product? Or what will make you trust a certain brand? Based on my experience, I really have to try it first before I can say na it is really something worth my money and worth sharing to my followers. So when I heard that Downy Philippines launched Downy Hypoallergenic, dapat talaga ma try ko muna before I make a review of it.

I have always thought that fabcon is harsh for Marius skin. So as much as possible, we try not to put fabcon on his clothes. I feel like the strong smell of fabcon can irritate his skin and his nose.

So what made me try using Downy Hypoallergenic? Eh kase naman this is the first time that I’ve seen a FabCon that is dermatologically tested with 0% dyes and 0% din ang added preservatives. So it makes me wonder, oka kaya talaga? And the smell, I hope it is not too much for us.

Initial reaction when I first saw Downy Hypoallergenic.. ang angelic niya tingan. The white packaging with hints of pink and blue somehow tells that yes it is safe to use for the baby.

The color of the product itself is white giving me assurance that it really has 0% dyes.

How was the smell? It’s actually light. My main concern na baka the smell will irritate my baby’s noise is tackled. The smell is powdery but very light. Parang baby lang na bagong ligo. It actually reminds me of being fresh.

I was surprised how soft it made Marius clothes with a fresh feel to it. Baby na baby ang dating ng amoy for me. And because Downy Hypoallergenic is dermatologically tested with 0% dyes and added preservatives, alam ko na safe to use sa mga damit ni Marius.

What surprised me the most is how it felt when I used it with our towels and beddings. The smell that I have been looking for my bed is this. This is the kind of smell that I want to sleep with.

Final Verdict on Downy Hypoallergenic: ADD TO CART NA. Downy Hypoallergenic is now included on our laundry grocery list.   And I know that with our current situation, buying groceries can be a bit challenging, kaya we opt to buy some of our groceries online.
