I came here because I've had my monstera for a little over 2 months that I transferred to leca and hadn't seen any new growth. It had one unfurled leaf when I got it, which is now fully open, but nothing since. This makes me feel a lot better that I haven't seen anything yet! I can see that the roots are completely healthy and growing, so I guess I just have to be patient.
Erica, thank you sooooo much for the detailed information about the Monstera. Your Monsteras are absolutely beautiful and healthy looking. I came upon a large Monstera with 14 stems/leaves at Trader Joes. I took it home and set it apart from my other plants just in case it had bugs. In the meantime, I binged on TH-cam videos so I could learn what the plant likes and doesn't. My ultimate goal is the grow it in water. I put the plant in bright light, and let it dry out completely, about 2 weeks, before watering because like you, I didn't know what I was doing. So far iall is well. The mother plant has put out a new leaf the other day and the other leaves are large and green. I will continue to follow your channel to get more information and see your other plant collection. Thank you so much again, this video has been very helpful. All the plant best!!!!
You are right about Monstera temperature! Obviously, it doesn't like cold, however, mine does well in the same spot near a western window summer and winter in Ohio. My house is heated however sometimes during the winter it can be a touch cooler next to the window however it has done fine for 2 years so far! I am growing mine in a soil and orchid mixture. I would like to try your medium on the next propagation!
"If your monstera isn't happy it won't grow" so damn true. Non of my monsteras grew in soil. I then figured they're happier in leca and pon (in my case). Since then they grow like crazy!! I have a huge plant collection, mostly in soil and they're doing fine. BUT i simply can not manage to keep monstera alive in soil. I can't be the only one?? It's said they're such easy plants but i really dont think so.
Thankyou I have a plant that is struggling and I also a was afraid to cut the roots but after seeing your video I. Believe that is what it needs .. I have a little more confidence to do that now ❤️❤️❤️
I’m new to your channel for your plant videos, I have learned so much. I was wondering what kind of water do you use? Distilled, filtered or just from the faucet? I’m ready to switch to leca.
Hi! I use tap water. It’s a little chlorinated though, so I let it sit for 24 hours before pouring it into my plants. I’m thinking now to collect rain water which is the best for plants but I get a little lazy 😅 but if you’re up to the challenge, rain water makes the plants grow the fastest 😊
New subbie. Thx I currently finally got one and I let it sit with me for months. It was not taken care of well at the store but its still very young. I only have one venistated leaf. I want to make more but its to young. Big but young.
Mine is growing lots of top vine like small leaves I don’t want it to do that. I want big split leaves. Should I trim the vine looking ones on top? I put a pole in center at first because it was all falling over. Help me please? 😩 I love these plants there beautiful. I never thought of potting it in anything but potting soil! Thank you for your video
Hello thank you so much I’ve been looking for input/advice on monstera and ur channel is great. I have a question do u think monstera seeds will generate in pulmice because that’s wat I want to do start with seeds without soil only leca ? Any advice is helpful thank you
Hi, thank you for the information, I would like to ask you for your advice, I have a very healthy Monstera, 1 yr old. I would like to transfer my plant from soil to either Lecca or Pon. If I do, will I harm the plant and do you suggest it's ok to do that.
Very informative and interesting. But could I request you to pause here and there while you are speaking? You seem to speak without punctuation marks. Thanks
@@EricabyDesign omg very cheap now the price of thai monstera is so expensive ,just a cutting without roots is like $200 to $$350 i got mine two weeks ago for $250 here in Australia!
hi Erica! your video was very helpful to me! a week ago I got a monstera. I was wondering if you have tried using rice water as a revitalizer ..? I have doubts if this would hurt the monstera because I don't know much about this plant.
Rice water is good if you have your plant in soil. If you’re using LECA or soil less medium don’t do it because the rice water will develop mold after a few days and start to stink and spread over the plant. Yep... it’s obvious I tried it and learned my lesson 😅

Thank you for the comprehensive and elaborate explanation. Much appreciated.
I use the clay pebbles and water from the filters on my fish tanks. Great for growth and nutrient rich

I'm rooting mine in water then moving them into leca, do you have drainage holes in your pot or is it ok for the roots to sit in water with the leca?
your soil should be a chunky aroid mix, like max 20% only soil, the rest can be orchid bark, pumice, charcoal, leca balls, vermiculite..
First of all, I would like to thank you. It is by far.. the most informative video i've seen about the monstera.
Thankyou I have a plant that is struggling and I also a was afraid to cut the roots but after seeing your video I. Believe that is what it needs .. I have a little more confidence to do that now ❤️❤️❤️
I also have a propagation video, if you're afraid to dig up the roots, then you can also try propagating the monstera! 😊
I put it in my greenhouse for the winter it’s soooo happy❤️
I found this video extremely helpful. Thanks
Hi! This Im my first time watching your videos 😊 Would you make a video showing to change a plant from soil to Leica?
Thank you ms. Erica for care tips.
Excellent !!! Structured presentation.
👌👌👌
I learned a lot from this video. Thanks.
Beautifully presented video! Thanks for the information
Great video! I am enlightened.
Hello, when using leca pebbles as medium, do u still need to put drainage on your pots?

Thank you for watching! 😊 the big ones are usually propagated from mature cuttings. Just take care of it and it will start to thrive! 😊
@@EricabyDesign thanks.
Where did you buy the black metal pot stand
cool, clean setup.

Can I use alkaline water
Very informative and interesting. But could I request you to pause here and there while you are speaking? You seem to speak without punctuation marks. Thanks
Thanks for the suggestion! I try not to waste time so I edit out my pauses. 😁
hello! how much water should I put with the leica balls? do you have an update video?
I've got thrips on my monstera leafs. What do I do?
Whear to get from?
Do you give respond, when I have a question about the lecca, monstera hydroponic..?
When do you use nutrients in your lecca.
Hi Erica! Thanks for the video, super helpful. Can you share how much your Thai monstera was, I’m so curious what the cost after 70% off would be!
I got it for like $15 USD if I remember correctly! 😊
@@EricabyDesign what plant shop did you go to? i want one T_T

Hi I have a new cuttings put in a glass pot like yours then put in my clay pebbles. How much water should I put?
Did i do it right?
WHAT THE LITTLE ROUND THINGS THAT YOU USE INSTEAD OF SOIL?
LECA
hi Erica! your video was very helpful to me!

After you cut the root rot a second time, did you put it back in leca again?
Good question, wondering the same thing...
Where can buy lyca?
