Service description
A monthly live video session where enrolled students bring their real plant problems — photos, videos, and all — and receive personalised guidance from a Monstera Guru instructor. Sessions are recorded and added to the student library within 48 hours. Subscription includes access to all past session recordings.
- 01
What the subscription includes
Each month you get a 90-minute live video session where instructors work through real questions from real students across Canada. You also gain immediate access to a library of over 60 recorded past sessions, so you can search for answers to problems you have right now, not just the ones that come up next month.
Subscribers can submit questions in advance through the student portal, have plant-problem photos reviewed by instructors, and tap into an exclusive subscriber community channel. Priority access to new course releases is included as well, so your learning keeps growing alongside your collection.
- 02
Who this is for
This subscription suits anyone who has moved past the basics and wants a reliable, personal place to bring the questions that do not have easy answers — why are the lower leaves yellowing in January, how do you water a dense collection without losing track, what is that white crust on the terracotta. You do not need a large collection or years of experience.
It is equally valuable for beginners who want a knowledgeable voice to check in with regularly and for experienced growers managing dozens of plants through a Canadian winter. If you learn best by asking and listening rather than reading alone, this is built for you.
- 03
How a session works, step by step
Before each session, you log into the student portal and submit your question in writing — include a photo or short video of the plant if that helps. Instructors review submissions ahead of time so they can give considered, specific answers rather than rushed ones. You never have to appear on camera or speak aloud if you prefer not to.
During the live session, the instructor works through questions one by one, often drawing on examples from other students' plants to show patterns and connections. The whole session is recorded and posted to the student library within 48 hours, so nothing is lost if you cannot attend on the day.
- 04
Choosing the right plan
The monthly subscription lets you try the community at a low commitment and is a natural starting point. If you find yourself looking forward to each session — and most subscribers do — the annual subscription spreads the cost across the year and works out to a meaningful saving over twelve individual months.
The annual bundle that includes all core courses is worth considering if you also want structured, self-paced learning alongside the live sessions. All three options give you the same live access, the same recording library, and the same community channel from day one.
- 05
A season of questions, tended carefully
Monstera Guru Academy grew from a grandmother sharing what she knew with the people she loved. That same unhurried attention shapes every live session: instructors do not rush through questions to fill time, and no plant problem is too small or too embarrassing to bring. Students who joined in the early sessions are still here, and the library of recordings they helped build is part of what new subscribers inherit.
When you subscribe, you are not buying access to a chatbot or a generic forum. You are joining a layered, growing community where your specific windowsill — its light, its humidity, its particular collection — is taken seriously.
- 06
Practical things to know before you join
Sessions run once a month and last 90 minutes. If your schedule shifts, the recording will be waiting in the library within two days. You can submit questions for any session whether or not you plan to attend live, so travel or a busy week never means missing out on an answer.
New subscribers get access to the full archive of past recordings immediately upon joining — there is no waiting period. The exclusive community channel is also available from day one, giving you a place to share observations, ask quick follow-up questions, and connect with other plant lovers between sessions.
