    My Atom is not growing. For every new leaf it grows, one dies. They turn yellow. I just checked the roots: they are healthy & the plant is not pot bound. Giving it more light has not helped.

    If you so hate the sound of the gravel hitting the bottom of the jars...Why are you letting the rocks go from such a high distance? Tilt the jar so it's horizontal with the table, add the gravel, and return the jar to its upright position. Crisis averted. Or place a handful of rocks in a tea towel, lower the towel into the jar, and slide its content out. Or make a paper cone so you can funnel the gravel right in place. I mean...👀

    I repotted my monstera and i made the mistake that i damaged some roots and did not let them dry bevor putting back to soil. Then - of course- roots got rotten. I checked on it and decidet to cut the rotten parts. I took it back into soil but its still very sad an hanging and leaving its downest leav. Maybe it has not enough roots now? Should i wait for root grow in the pot or should i take it out an put it in water so that it can regrow them roots fast? Help. I am so sorry for my Monstera. 😅

I'll just waste my time watching other people's videos instead of being told I'll be ignored if I show genuine interest in your videos when a simple solution that you already know how to do is copy and paste a link to your update in the description.

    What the heck is Holup??? Also - You do not need to seal plants less than 1" in diameter, they grow roots fast enough that even if they do start to rot, you can just snip that part off and they will be fine. Sealing if used for more mature - larger stems. :(

    Hi! thank you for the video. I have a similar problem with my monstera adonsonii. A lot of leaves (it's a very huge one) are like very "incosistent" and "faded" like they are weak, but don't seem to lack of water. I've noticed that the part not exposed directly to the sun (there are located and south, but there's no much light in winter - I'm in Italy - and that's not the first time I leave the plant there, actually it is always there in winter) is stronger and healthy and the part exposed directly to the sun seems to be weak. I really don't know what it's going on there, I could eventually overwatered it but it' a really huge and messy pot so I'm still waiting to check directly inside the terrain to check the moist... do you ever noticed something like this?

    • @JuliaPaganiGrows

      Take it out of the pot and check the roots. If they’re white and stiff they’re ok, if they are brown, stringy and coming off they’ve rotted. Clean it up by cutting the dead roots and if you don’t have any roots left, put it in water and wait (or cut it up to propagate).

    I got a baby Monstera Aurea from a local nursery mixed in with non-variegated monsteras last winter. This summer I went to repot it in better soil and split it from the non-variegated plants, but within a week it had root rot🥺 Ever since June, I’ve been trying to save its final two leaves. Someone told me sphagnum moss only so I did that and it’s leaves have been curled up like a taco ever since. 3 days ago I decided I wanted to water propagate it but didn’t want to risk further rotting… so I sealed it with tea light wax! For the first time since June, the leaves are back to being flat and happy!! I’m hoping it was dry enough for me to seal, but it’s my final attempt to save it😅 Thank you for this video as I didn’t know if I had to remove the seal! ETA: I also threw activated charcoal pieces in the water to keep trying to avoid rot!
