So I thought I'd report back a month after I tried this... Without using the growth hormone I cut off some shoots and stuck them in water - within 2 weeks the aerial roots grew pretty long and strong - and after 3 weeks I potted them. They are all healthy and growing new leaves, so it was a success 🙌. Thanks again for the brilliant instructions!
Excellent. About a year ago, i saw this plant for the first time and fell in love, I enjoy how each leave looks different. Anyways, I was searching for ways to treat my plant better, it is having lots of yellow brownish stop and run into your video. I will try to propagate it as well. Should anybody know the ideal treatment to get them healthy, please let me know.Thanks
Hello. Good luck with your propagation of this plant. With yellow/brown tips....could be under watering. If you have them in a bright spot and the soil is dry....you might be under watering.
Great video! Just wish mine would start to vine so I can propagate and make it look full! I got mine in June last year as a baby with about 3 leaves and only one having any fenestration now it's grown so much but not trailing at all. Do you have any advice to get them or will it just take time as it's maturing?
I try and take my cuttings when the plant is actively growing. The pruned section will grow roots at any time of year, but the mother plant may not recover and grow as fast.
I had propagated the related Pothos by cutting the vine into segments with one node having one leaf and some root. I cut above and below but close to the node. All cuttings rooted and sent new shoots from the node. Does it work equally for this Monstera?
I have only done the stem cuttings, but I would say yes....this would work with single leaf cuttings as long as there are aerial roots. I might have to experiment with this method for a future video. I recently made stem and single leaf cuttings on a cebu blue pothos and all rooted nicely.
@@gwensmith6 there are a few reasons they turn yellow....under watering, over watering or the soil is retaining moisture for too long, being extremely root bound and pests.
No, it is not required. I is supposed to promote quicker and healthier roots. I should do a comparison video to see which one grows faster and has larger roots.
Not required for water or soil but definitely suggested if planting directly in soil it helps to prevent disease bacteria and rot when you place it in water you should be changing or water every one to two days more if needed dipping in a rooting hormone when water propagating in my opinion is wasteful. And depending on the ingredients of your rooting hormone it can cause problems where you would have to change the water more often because it's now dirty with the rooting hormone and can cause bacterial growth.
I wanted to ask when you prune the plant, what happens to the mother plant? I have a variegated one and im so afriad of pruning it in case the mother plant doesnt grow leaves anymore
It will definitely grow new leaves from the closest node to where you made the cut. Sometimes it'll branch out in multiple areas. Pruning is good for your plants. And don't be afraid.... You will not kill it
Ah this explains things! The first video I watched was just for generic monstera… mine have been going for 6 weeks now and roots have BARELY started showing, just from the nodes. Thought I was doing something wrong 🙄
you can buy the whole dam plant on ebay. now if you excuse me i'm debating whether i should uproot the neighbours medium size japanese maple to grow in my house. obviously it's not the direct neighbour it'll be pretty obvious his tree gets stolen and it's in my house. i don't know i just want something a bit more bushy, japanese maple is more upright and then it spreads out. I did see a nice nandina domestica in the park so it's easy to steal, i can steal that during the day. I love stealing plants!
@@EverythingPlants nice plants by the way. i would love to break into your house and steal a whole tone of them, i'd steal everything. that's how nice they are i'd steal the lot. are you Canadian? you'd have to get your skates on and head down to the ice hockey ring and we'll fight it out down there. you have to watch the NHL guys to see how to fight on skates otherwise your defenceless on roller blades. those Canadians know how to fight on skates.
I'm in Canada and purchased it at Canadian Tire. I think this is something you could find at any big box store or garden center. I would even search Amazon too
I am not a botanist or anything close to that, but you should be able to. I've had a Monstera deliciosa short stem with no leaves root. This should be no different and they grow fast in the right conditions! Good luck and let me know how it works out for you.
Hi, I have tried repotting my monstera adanosii cuttings on 2 occasions now but the roots always die off once it is on the soil. What am I doing wrong? 😕
Assuming you are propagating in water then into soil....are you keeping the soil well watered so the roots don't dry out? I always keep the soil well watered for about the first two weeks then slowly cut back on watering to a regular watering schedule so those water roots don't dry out and transition to soil.
I'm not sure why I can't get any of my water propagations to survive when planted in soil! I had about 10 cuttings. All rooted in water, planted in soil and all dead within 1 week!
Here is a video I did recently. I hope this helps with your water to soil issues. Please keep me posted and let me know where you might have gone wrong. th-cam.com/video/AjDfq5m893E/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for your quick reply!! I truly appreciate it. I watched the other video. I'm suspicious that I've been having a soil issue. It seems to stay too wet with bonsai jack and perlite mix. It's perplexing me for sure!
I have a very very very urgent question please help me I really really need it So I bought a monstera adansonii for my mom for Christmas last year she loved it it grew to have a very special place in both of our hearts but around 2 months ago me my sister and my mom were going our separate ways but just after we left a few weeks later my mom unexpectedly passed away not long ago I was able to retrieve the monstera but the only way I could get her home was by taking her through the airport with me but she did not have a very good rifled at all so when I got home I had to prune all her leaves that didn't work because she ended up getting stem rot so I had to cut the whole thing at the node part so then I tried water propagating but that didn't work either the stem got all mushy all over again and I tried a second time with peat moss but same thing happened now I am down to only 2 nodes left it is my last chance to save her but everything I tried has failed I have never had such difficulties propagating any plant but a while ago I tried to propagate my sisters monstera and the same thing happened please do you know what could possibly help me it’s the one thing I have left of my mom that held such a dear place to us
Sorry to hear about your mother. I have had really good success lately with propagating in perlite. I would definitely try this method for your adansonii.
@@EverythingPlants do you just stick the stem in there and that’s it? I have a home made soil mixture with perlite charcoal Leica orchid bark and soil I stuck it in there to see if that will work since you said perlite is really good maybe I should just try leca? Since that’s all I have on hand right now? Also thank you very much for the tip!!❤️
What is a regular monstera I've never heard of that would that be a monstera dubia a monstera borsigiana a monstera deliciosa a monster Peru a monstera pinnatipartita or any other of the many monstera. It's like somebody sending me to the Garden Center to get a tomato plant and ask what species do you want and they say oh just regular. I don't know what to get. I work at Starbucks years ago and a older customer asked me for "just a regular drink" I had such a hard time trying to figure out what this old man wanted because he just wanted the regular and we don't have anything on the menu called the regular drink drives me crazy tell people what you're talking about regular to you is not regular to someone else

Thank you. I placed some cuttings 5 days ago and was worried it's a failure. I will wait more.
frumpyhair dontcare you're not far off, it took mines 2 weeks to start showing growth 🌿
💚💚💚💚
Yay thank you so much! I was nervous to try this because i don’t have the powder, but ill try it now!
Very helpful video, and really well explained instructions, thank you. I'll try this today on my plant🤞
Thanks and I'm glad you found it useful.
Phew! glad I watched this before snipping mine for a friend. Didn't know about the nodes/ air roots. Cheers
Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
I have just bought a Swiss Cheese Plant today & it is a bit leggy.. Excited to try the water method (without rooting hormone) . Great tute.
Good luck Vicki!
Thank you for sharing
You are welcome. Hope you stick around for more videos.
Any updates on how your propagations have gone? Would love to see an update!
Here is the update video from a while back. I have since placed these cuttings back into the pot.

Hello.
Good luck with your propagation of this plant. With yellow/brown tips....could be under watering. If you have them in a bright spot and the soil is dry....you might be under watering.
How often should you change the water?
What if the aerial roots are grown(like 2-3 in)?

Ask it nicely
Can you propagate by planting directly into soil?
Hi, this sounds great, just wondering what happens to the pice left in the pot? Does it grow or just stay cut?
It will start a new stem at the leaf node closest to the cut. Good luck!
I cut mine but it went straight back to dirt and I’ve had nothing but success ❤
"A very very decorative glass container" yes sir 😇
Oh wow....this is an old video now hahaha
thanks for the nice video. Does it matter what time of year when i propagate? (dormacy?)

Me too
I don’t know if maybe I didn’t give it enough time, but the existing aerial shriveled up on me and the leaves started going yellow and falling off
Thank you! I am a new plant mom & would’ve done this all wrong 🤦🏼♀️
Hello Faith....I am so glad my video has helped. I hope to see you more on this channel!

If I have one singular and really long vine, can I create multiple propagations from that?
Yes! From each individual node that can start into its own new vine.
I could feel your pain when having to trim off the leaves😭 just have to keep telling yourself it’s for the best.
Yes! And this is an old video now
Do I have to wait till the stem callus before using the rooting hormone?
I have never waited and mine have been okay. Are you rooting them in water?
Yo that glass you propagated with im almost sure of it that i have the exact same one :0
Nice!!!
My monstera adasonii had a root within 2 weeks no hormones added but i did have a pothos cutting in there w it
I typically don't use rooting hormone and they all do fine.
will the branch you took cutting from continue to grow?
Yes, a new branch will form from the closest leaf node.
I have the same glass wine decanter lol
You mean plant container....NICE.
Where did you purchase the steam root product from?
I'm in Canada and purchased it at Canadian Tire. I think this is something you could find at any big box store or garden center. I would even search Amazon too
Is it necessary to add some kind of fertilizer in the water and if so, can you reccommend any kind of it that works? Thanks
No. I never have....just change the water every couple days and you should be good.
@@EverythingPlants ah cool. Thanks!
@@EverythingPlants is it necessary to water them this often?
You can plant the leaf you just cut in dirt and it will start a new vine , NO need to cut the vine
Honestly, that's never worked for me 🤷
I got a stem cutting with no leaves will I be able to get a plant from it??
I am not a botanist or anything close to that, but you should be able to. I've had a Monstera deliciosa short stem with no leaves root. This should be no different and they grow fast in the right conditions! Good luck and let me know how it works out for you.
Thanks, I will
how to make your plant green and glossy? thank youu🙏🏼. Because mine look less greeny and not that glossy
Honestly I don't do much of anything to it to make the leaves glossy.
My boyfriend taught me about rubbing milk on the leaves, and it really works! Just pour some milk on a paper towel, and rub down the leaves.
@@TheKristenGibson ahh thank youu😉
You can dilute lemon juice with water and wipe the leaves with a microfiber cloth. I've tried milk on mine and the leaves still had that cloudy look..

Awesome!!! That is so exciting to hear.
All of my cuttings that I put in fresh clean water and dip in rooting hormone start turning black. What do I do?
Is it just the ends turning black or the whole cutting?
Do we need to change the water regularly
I do....but it is entirely up to you. I know if I was a plant I'd like fresh water at least weekly haha
Can we grow roots from the snipped leaves?
The leaf may grow roots, but it won't grow into an entirely new plant without a portion of the stem.
@@EverythingPlants that’s too bad to discard a healthy leaf 😔 I will use it as a compost then.
