Thank you Luke!! Appreciate this vid! 😃
Mine has its aerial roots coming out in all directions. I can't tell which is the front or back!
hi, mine dried last summer from very hot weather .. since then there were no leaves, last week i had one new leaf.. i only have short stems.. do u have a tip about what should i do to help grow new leaves??? many thanks
I saw this plant the other day and I was in love ❤ so beautiful ❤
The nematodes Luke is talking about are spelled as follows: Steinernema feltiae
The look on your dog’s face was incredibly funny and so cute. Oh and thank you for a no nonsense vid!
Thank you! ☺️
Very informative! Didn't know there was a front and back 😳 Thank you looking forward to the next video 😀
Thank you! 😊
I need to check back in, as this DID seem to work. Had my doubts at first, but no gnats for a couple months now!!! Not sure if it was entirely the Neem cake, but definitely a key factor. If interested, here’s what I did: 1. I scooped out the first 1-2 inches of topsoil, which I replaced with the soil mentioned in #4 below. 2. I put the pellets through a coffee mill and made a powder out of it before making the tea. I just added that powdered sediment with the pour. 3. This stuff will create a blanket of mold overnight almost. Just scraped it off by hand until it stopped coming back 4 Miracle Grow has a special potting soil that’s engineered to discourage gnats from nesting. Two treatments seemed to have done the trick, so thanks so much Luke!!!
Thanks Tom, that’s awesome to hear. Thank you for sharing your experience and tips, super interesting to see what worked for you!
Excellent video, I just learned aot. Thank you
Thank you, appreciate the comment 😊
I have had this plant for over 15 years, it is HUGE, it measures about 40 inches across, the leaf portions are 20 inches long. It has never been repotted and now I'm afraid to mess with it after hearing that it is a finicky plant. Should I attempt it if the plant seems to be fine?
I just found your channel I’m you 300 th subscriber thank you for this video looking forward for more videos from you
That’s amazing 🎉 Thank you supporting my little channel!
Hey I had cut the aerial root of the new leaf cuz it was sticking out of the pot completely, I got my plant in June and it hasn’t grown since then, what should I do?
Hi 👋 Cutting an aerial root won't necessarily affect growth. To stimulate growth, I would suggest increasing its exposure to light. Good luck!
@@LukeStocking i have kept it opp to the south facing window so can get that evening sunlight, but haven’t seen much improvement
Hey, can I use woven rattan to hold the moss? Will it mold? THANKS!!
I haven't tried it myself, but if you use a weave that allows the aerial roots to grow into the moss, it should work well and look nice 🙂
@@LukeStocking Thanks! That's so helpful.
What do you use
In my greenhouse, I use moss poles because the humidity is high, which means the moss doesn’t dry out as quickly. Around the house, I use either wooden supports or empty 3D printed moss poles
I put the aerial roots back into the soil, whilst supporting the plant on a number of bamboo rods. It is getting rather large now, and am a bit concerned with my own success! Where's it going to go in my little house?!
Haha, I can relate to this! Plant parent problems 🙈 When my plants get too big I cut them down and propagate the rest!
@LukeStocking every time I look at propagation of monstera it frightens the life out of me. I suppose I could have a little shop of horrors all round the house...
great video, thanks!!
Thanks Josh! 😊
I bought a plumeria plant at Walgreens (drugstore) 25 years ago. It was 12 inches tall. It is now 6 feet tall and a proper tree that loves life in my living room by the sliders to the deck. It is too big to be brought in and out during the seasons(I have support ties to the curtain rods) but it has bloomed several times and the flowers are amazing. You never know what plant you will find in a drugstore or grocery store.
That's awesome, thanks for sharing! Must be quite rare to come across a 25 year old Plumeria growing indoors 😯
wait why is this guy so cool
Thank you so much Luke, I really really enjoyed watching you take us all through the dos and dont’s to know about the Rattlesnake plant. Very useful and helpful information.
Thank you for your kind words, I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
Very interesting! 🌱👍
When I tried it, it tasted like banana crossed with pineapple. The texture wasn't pleasant though, kind of like kiwi skin.
Great video, good tip. If I was using regular soil, like in the past when I had this problem, I would do exactly what you recommended, thank you. I switched to Pon a while ago for all my house plants and the problem has not resurfaced in the last two years. However, some plants prefer soil where this can happen and it would be a great way of tackling the problem. Looking forward to the next video
Thanks Simon, appreciate it 🙃
Thanks for sharing these tricks! If you wish to add more growth stimulants to your monstera plants, you better try electroculture! It helps me a lot with my various plants :)
I enjoyed your video. You told us what we need to know without a bunch of extra unneeded commentary. Thank you 😊
Thank you, I appreciate that! ☺️
@@LukeStockingwhy surely 😊
Please I don’t know if I’ve overwatered. About 4leaves have some yellow-brownish color. What can I do
Sounds like that could be due to overwatering, here’s what you can do: Poke a few holes into the soil with a stick (chopsticks work well) to let it air out a little more, just be careful not to damage the roots. You can also take the plant out of its container to help it air out. To prevent it from happening again only water when the top inch of soil is dry. Also, make sure you’re using quality soil and your pot has drainage holes. Good luck!
Thank you for this excellent video. As an American I was trying to place your accent. Are you possibly Welsh or perhaps Australian ?
Thank you! I’m English and I live in Bedfordshire, which is around 85 kilometres from London 😄
Best no soil in the house, use Leca or Pon . 🙏💕🎊💃🎆
Beautiful plant! (and adorable doggy)
Thank you! 🥰
Is there a specific time of the year to apply to indoor plants? Spring? Summer? Etc....Thanks
Nematodes can be applied to indoor plants at any time of the year 👍
HI Luke This is such a helpful video. I have had my Calathea/Rattle snake plant for about 5 years and in the autumn it took a turn for the worse. I have never really worked out how to look after it properly and the fact it made it to 5 years old and thrived till now was a miracle. I think it was very root bound and then got badly infested by fungus gnats when I last potted it up. The multi purpose compost I used was probably a bit old. I am going to try again using your potting mix suggestions and move it to a slightly less draughty place and fingers crossed it will bounce back in the spring. It does already look happier since I treated the fungus gnats and gave it a prune.
Thanks Dawn, I appreciate that! It sounds like you’ve had quite the journey with your Rattlesnake plant, fair play on getting to the 5 year mark! That sounds like a solid plan, I think it will bounce back nicely. Good luck, I have my fingers crossed for you. Feel free to reach out if you run into any problems!
Thank you very much for responding to my inquiry. I truly appreciate it.
Would I be able to save this plant if it show signs of damage?
Yes it’s possible, provided you identify and fix the problem. Good luck! 🪴
I bought one from sainsbury's and it was in a jar of water labelled as a hydro plant, should i keep it this way or put it in soil???
👋 You can continue growing it in water, just make sure you change the water once a week and use a water-soluble fertiliser. This method minimises overwatering risks and pests but requires nutrients since the plant won't get them from soil. Alternatively, you could transfer and acclimatise it to soil. Hope this helps!
0:50 The poodle is cute. I have one of my own.
Love that! Good spot, a lot of people mistake him for a Cavapoo.
Love from Bavaria/Germany! I bought a monstera yesterday! My miniature poodle is a male apricot and very cheeky! @@LukeStocking ❤
@@rosedewittbukater4203 Danke! That’s incredible, I can’t believe my video has reached all the way to Bavaria, Germany. Very cute - he sounds similar to Dash, our Toy Poodle. Great to hear from you, and good luck with your monstera! 🪴
Your plant is in marvelous condition.....but it's the expression from the dog that almost made me choke. 😂😂
Thank you! 🥰 He’s a brilliant actor 🤣
@LukeStocking 🤣🤣 good to know.
Thanks, Luke! Enjoyed learning about this. These gnats are the bane of my existence during indoor seed starting.... Ive tried everything from the sticky traps to mechanical genocide by either baking my soil and pouring boiling water on the soil, but, that also destroys good bacteria.
Thanks for your comment, I hope the video helped! I feel your pain, they are a right nightmare. I think biological control is the way to go, I have my fingers crossed for you!
Going to try this. I’ve been righting a loosing battle for months now 🤪
Good luck, I have my fingers crossed for you! 🤞
Did it work?
I don’t even know monsteras have fruit! A mazing video as always.
Thank you, I appreciate it ☺️
This is the only Calathea I've tried that hasn't turned brown & dried up, so I wonder if the change in its identity to a different genus accounts for my success with it.
I thought the same, it does seem much easier to avoid crispy tips on the Rattlesnake plant. Having said that, some of my other Calatheas have also been renamed to Goeppertia, and are still drama queens!
This puts my theory in doubt!@@LukeStocking
Just found your channel, very formative,!
Thank you, I appreciate this! 🥰
Super video! We really enjoy watching these!
I love all this flowers❤❤❤
I love the look on the dog’s face when you last the plant down! 😂
Dash definitely thinks I’ve gone mad 🤣
I was just getting ready to type the same comment😆 that was so funny
It will do fine in Leca
Yep, it’s a great alternative to soil 👍
Just what i have been looking for! Thanks for the info
Thanks Glenn, glad I could help!
Lets goo bro il subscribe
Thanks mate! 🙂
