Yesssss, finally I have created a video on how to successfully propagate a Monstera deliciosa!
In this video filmed over the course of a few months, I show step by step how to take a cutting of a Monstera, grow new roots, and then plant it up so that you can grow more and more of one our favorite houseplants of all time.
While this video explicitly shows propagating a Monstera deliciosa, the basic techniques involved in this video can be used for many other houseplants including Philodendron, Pothos, Rhaphidophora, and other Monstera.
I hope you enjoy the video! if so, don't forget to Like the video and consider subscribing to my channel, that is full of plants all the time #houseplants #garden #plants
3:40 Bro you killed it. You could've made two plants out of those perfect rooted nodes on both ends!!!
I was about to post the same thing!
How? I mean the leave he cut off was keeping it from being placed in a vase. Or should he have placed it in a wider bucket.
I live in Hawaii and have a monstera growing in my yard. I've wanted to propagate it for a while, but haven't found great info on how to do so until now. Thanks for the video!
Glad it was helpful!
So lucky
Same. Here in South Kona. The leaves on the monstera climbing up a Cook Pine are enormous, over 3 ft long! Have to chop it down, along with the fruit before it smothers the tree. Will try to propagate it now!
Thanks Devin you make this whole process seems so simple. I take it all in and hope that I will be a successful gardener indoors and out.
I would like to say a massive thank you for saving my baby girl Brigitta The Monstera she's alive and happy now!!! xxx
Happy to help!!
Nice sharing
🙌
Thank you!! Just bought a cutting from a nursery and potted it up . Excited to see it grow! I appreciate all your tips.
Wonderful!
Thanks Devin and Samantha!
Thanks for watching :)
Love your enthusiasm and your collection of plants aye!
Thanks so much!
Can’t wait to try this💕
Do it!
So helpful, thank you!
Thanks for watching!!
Devin, thank you for doing the process all the way through from plant-propagation-results-potting the propagated plant. Very helpful!
I am a one year old in houseplant gardening (that I love!) and was just given a propagated monstera deliciosa…so excited to be a momstera mama!
Glad it was helpful! These are a joy to watch grow
Thank you sooo much for a very detailed propagation on Monstera Deliciousa!
I hope it was helpful!
Ayeee 💃 you just gave me the courage to propagate my beauty!! Thank you for making it look so easy I cannot wait to tackle this over the weekend! Definitely subscribing
You got this!
This video is a year old but i just discovered your channel, i have been looking over so many videos on monstera propagation and your video is by far the best one. From start to finish and in clear language and camera thank you so very much. I can now with confidence work on my monstera. You have a loyal subscriber here as well. Again thanks for educating us on this 👍🏿🙏🏿🤎
Love hearing that!! Check out some of my other videos, may find something interesting :)
perfect thank you, simple and easy to follow guidance on how to prune and propagate. thanks :)
Glad it was helpful!
This was great! Thank you for so many details!💜🙏🏻
You are so welcome!
Glad I watched this. Totally did try to propagate with just a leaf cutting 😅 LOL! Will do it by the nodes instead next time. Thanks 😃🌿
Goooood I’m glad it helped!
Thank for showing this so I can do my plants monstera ❤❤
🙌🙌
Thank you for this video it has excellent information and instructions on how I can propagate my monstera 🌱 and I love how personable you are with your anecdotes 🙂
Awesome!! Love hearing that!!
Thank you ! I thoroughly enjoyed your video 👍🪴
Glad to help!
Thank you Davin , great video! I will start my work right now 😊
You got this!
Wow,,, another amazing upload.
Monstera plant looks good and healthy.
Today I've learnt about propagating them.
Excellent video.
Big like 👍
Thanks you for sharing with us
Take care stay well 🍀🍀🍀
Thanks for wAtching!!!
@@plantvibrations pleasure 🤩
Thanks so much appreciate you video bro. ❤
Thanks for watching yoooo
Wow. I love your plant room! Goals.❤
Thank you!! 😊
Davin, I have a large monstera and I wanted to propagate it for a while, but couldn't find good info on how to do so, until now. I watched many videos but the way you walk through the whole process, it made it so simple. 😊
So nice of you :)
Excellence video ! Well Done and keep up your good work. Thank you for sharing !!
Thank you very much!
Awesome job ! Very well explained from start to finish for someone starting out on indoor plants
You’ve got a happy subscriber
Continues the great work
Thank you! i'm glad it was clear and easy to follow!
The inner Kerstin in me loved this video!
😂
Very nice I’ve being propagating variegated plants. From one node leaves. Takes a long time. I’ll definitely try bigger pots.
Very cool
Love your educational video
Thank you for watching!!
Yes Great Job.
Thanks!
Excellent video!
Thank you very much!
Always enjoy your videos. Curious, will Samantha ever consider making a guest appearance for us?(or perhaps I missed that in a previous video) - great job as always, keep up the great work !
Haha she has a couple times before but next time we film I’ll ensure she makes an appearance!
Wow, you have a beautyfull garden. ❤
Thanks for visiting
Wonderful ❤
Hope it helps!
Great information, Devin. Thank you! My neighbour gave me a Monstera deliciosa last year having shoveled all her walks (along with mine) during the winter months here on
Vancouver Island. It was big when she gave it to me in so much that its growth could no longer support the pot. It kept tipping over. I will heed your advise and do some propagating
to make some babies and share them with all my other neighbours. On a side note, my twin brother propagates all his plants in his aquarium. It's warm with lots of free fertilizer.
Cheers!
Darryl
Oh wow that’s awesome, makes me want to get an aquarium!
Sorry guys,as for aquariums…is the ph level a thing for plants or not really?
Thinking to add monsteras for my moray tank 🙂
Not sure about the ph so I thought it worth to ask
Many thanks
Great video and explanation!
I like the pipe cleaner idea
Glad you like it
Thank you....I was unsure what a node was...couldn't understand from other videos...but this was great.
Glad it helped!
Thank youuu!!! I feel like such a bad plant mom.
why is that?!
Devin, I am new subbie. Just found you today. Love your channel. FYI, I had a Monstera for more than 20 years. It grew immensely. Had to gift to a neighbor since I was moving. 😢
I hope you brought a node with you at least!!
@@plantvibrations i didn’t even think about it. It was such a beauty. Now all I want is to learn to propagate. Thank you for sharing. Does your wife love the plants too? It’s nice when a spouse partakes in that which we love. 🪴💚
she is learning to love them a little more each day
💚🌱
:)
Devin; Have you ever added "Ecto Tabs" (Ectomycorrhizal fungi) to the potting soil to help new transplants? I like to think they help. I use them on my Plumerias. Should work fine on woody houseplants like the Monstera.
Hmm I have never tried it before! I need to learn more about using fungi in the garden
I had kept monstera leaves in water just like you did.
After 5-6 months the roots came out.
It is totally healthy.
Love it!
😊❤
:)
شكرًا لك لقد شرحت بشكل رائع بالفعل
اعجبني! 🇸🇦❤️❤️❤️❤️
🙌🙌
Doing it today
Wish me luck! First time propagating monstera
You got it!!
I’ve been told you need to have roots and secondary roots (roots on roots). I’m glad to know this is not the case. I have a cutting ready to plant. 🙌💚
This cutting from the video is now a four foot tall plant with about 7 leaves!!
@@plantvibrations Wow that’s awesome! 💚
💚
Mine created roots without node! ✨️
Coool!
Thanks
Thank you!
hello senior Devin , question:
can you tell me about watering needs for the new monstera,
also I love your videos, I am a Colombian living in
My wife is Colombian! Have you seen my video about 7 tips for success with monstera?
Great info Davin!
I have a question - how often do you change the water of the cutting while growing roots ?
Anytime it starts to look a bit cloudy!
Deff. Plant the pole bfor the plant so u dont accidently hit the roots n use string to wrap the stems n pole loosely , so no damage to the stems, btw way great info. For newbies ,
great video, thanx
Thanks for watching!!
Does the leave you put on the vase has roof later? Can we grew that leave? Thank you
It may create roots but will never grow beyond that size
Excellent explanation, thank you. I've noticed my plant has been crying quite a bit (the leaf tips have drips of water) so it's pump is working, or is it too moist?
Has it been particularly humid? I wouldn’t be too concerned, that’s pretty normal
Hey glad I found you enjoyed vid & I did subscribe. My monstera has mealy bugs I spray with alcohol & it kills them but they come back. Help?
Oh noooo! Id take a cutting and start over! Throw the original plant away, mealy are very hard to get rid of
If the section of stem that is cut to propagate has air roots do you cut those off or put them into the water as well?
put them in water, they will create new smaller roots at the ends
Thanks!
@@plantvibrations
Thank you for this! Did you change the water at all? If so, how often? Should it be changed daily?
Maybe once every week or two!
@@plantvibrations Thank you!!! Currently trying this with h an Albo cutting 👀
Hi Devin!
My monstera has lost all leaves but the trunk seems healthy.
Should I proceed by propogating it in water?
It lost all the leaves? That’s really odd! Yes you can try to prop it in water
You shd have made two cuttings. There were two different nodes to propagate the bottom leaf as well. Other than that - great video and plants.
I only needed one plant!
He's now got a very decent root stock instead of having it.
Hi Devin
Question for you I got a couple snake plants and they were in rough shape I planted some leaves with no roots will they root? I'm praying that they make it they were over watered in the store.
Take care and God Bless
Hi adam, you can definitely prop a snake plant from a single leaf. By placing directly in the soil it should create roots within a month or two, but you can also start them by placing them in a glass of two inches of water and they’ll form roots in about a month, and then they’ll be ready for soil
@@plantvibrations Thank you and God Bless
Does the container we soak our cutting in have to be clear?
It does not
have you ever added potting soil to the water youre propagating with?
I have not
@@plantvibrations I am trying this experiment.. With a small amount of dirt in the water to see if it will give the plant any nutrients while propagating.....
How often do you water it after you get it in the soil?
Just when the top inch of soil is dry
Do you put something to prevent any infection on the monstera? I heard that you can put cinnamon, I have a monstera and it has never been prune.
I have never used cinnamon on Monstera, on other plants though
@@plantvibrations thank you wish me luck.
I have a single leaf with a single node that has created a single root. Lol. I hope it makes more than that!
Haha over time it will!
Hi! If I took a cutting with only 1 leaf and 1 node, would it produce new leaves? Since I assume the only node it has will be taken up by the new roots
once it starts developing roots the stem will elongate and produce more nodes and leaves
I bought 2 leaves from a flower store because they reminded my childhood when my mom used to grow them. But ı learned from this video that I should have nodes to create roots. What am ı gonna do? Thank you…
Oh no! Nothing will come of the two leaves other than looking nice in a vase for a long time
@@plantvibrations thank you😓
Hi! If I’m propagating some monstera cuttings in water…I was planning on transplanting them back into the mother plant where I cut them from. Do I need to take the mother plant out of its pot in order to add the newly rooted propagations with it? (I’m trying to make the mother plant fuller) Or do you have any suggestions on how I should plant the probations back into the mother plant pot?
Hey Ashley, you can definitely transplant them back into the mother plant! Use some chop sticks to make a deepish narrow hole into the soil that you can easily plant the cutting into and give it some water and that's about it! No need to remove mama
@@plantvibrations thank you so much for your help! One more question, what if I didn’t allow my cuttings to callous before putting them in water? They’re doing fine and growing roots in water, but I just don’t want anything to rot when I put them back with momma. Should I take them out of the water and cut the stem and wait for them to callous, then put them back into the water? Or just leave them be
@@ashleyroseglanville6241 as long as you let it grow sufficient roots in water prior to transplanting, no need to allow it to callous over. that would ruin the cutting
@@plantvibrations thank you! This is why I asked you 😂
Does the air roots have to be in the water to or does it not matter? And if so do they have to be completely submerged or is like half the air root okay in water?
the air roots do not have to be in the water, but if they are partly in the water half way that is all good
hi - how often do you change the water during the 2 month propagation ?
Once every couple weeks
What if the cutting has a long air root? Can you trim that off also?
You can trim it off but it’ll prop well with it still attached
Pozdrawiam z Polski 🤍❤️
🙏
Thank you so much for this. Now i know what to do with my many plants 🪴 ☺️
Happy to help!!
Would that be vermiculite or perlite mix for a monstera?
Either is fine
@@plantvibrations cheers! I didn’t realise there was much of a difference til recently and started to get a bit worried about what I’d done already
How long would you keep propagating Monsterea in water or does it matter?
Just until you have some decent roots growing, could take a few months
Are you going to do an update video? That would be cool!
I should! I gave the cutting to the yoga studio I go to and the plant is about 3’ tall!
@@plantvibrations please!!!!
Just became a fan of a giant unruly Monstera. I watched your video on staking, but my question: you mentioned "clearing or cleaning" up around the base. What do you mean? My plant has many smaller stems and leaves coming from the base.
I mean just cutting away all the extra small leaves coming out of the base. But if you like the unruly look then just let them be!
Can I add the A roots in water?

If you have three nodes, you could’ve used the lowest node with the leaf you cut off. And you’d have two to propagate.
You are right!
Do you have to replace the water in the vase?
It’s best to do so every two weeks or so
Hey I have been propagating my monstera for over a month and the leaves are very Droopy. What can be causes a monstera in water to be droopy?
Hmmm that’s really odd, how many leaves are on your prop?
@@plantvibrations Two leaves. They have grown alot of roots but the actual leaves are droopy and very flimsy.
How often do u water it?
The cutting? You can change the water once a month
I would have cut the third leaf with a node and put it in to the same vase for the second monstera. Having at least one leaf on the cuttings fastens the rooting process like 10 times comparing to growing a cuttings without leafs.
Good tip!
Please do a moss pole how-to once this lil lady's big enough!
Yo yo! Yeah good call! I definitely will
I have a huge Monstera. I don’t know what to do with. It’s wild.
I have a video coming out soon that may help
If you have an aquarium air stone and add that to the vase, you'll get *way* more rooting. I added a single-leaf node to a vase with an air stone about 6 weeks ago mostly just as an experiment, and the roots are wild - totally filled the vase, probably like 10x what this node got! I'm kind of hesitant to take it out and see if it keeps growing, even though the roots have gone crazy there hasn't been any new leaf growth yet.
I’m not familiar with air stones, I’ll have to look them up!
Did you change water ?is the air stone same as larva stone
pipe / tight cleaners?
They’re very handy!
Will it continue to live in the water
Yeah but it won't put on any new growth
Is there an update on this one???
No update video but I gave it to my yoga studio and it is about 3’ tall now!
@@plantvibrations Do you put something to prevent any infection on the monstera? I heard that you can put cinnamon, I have a monstera and it has never been prune.
I was afraid to cut I'm comfortable now
:)
Buuuttt waaaiiittt. When you put the cutting in water was it tap water? Distilled? Spring? Did you put fertilizer in the water for extra nutrients? Did you completely change the water when it got dirty, or just added more water? I heard that you shouldn’t clean out the water because it gets rid of the root hormones. I’m wondering because i have a monstera cutting right now and am using the water method, but it got some white fuzz thingy on the root and where i made the cut it was turning black but I let it callous over (3 days) ☹️. So i had to cut the rot off and i’ve let it recalous but I haven’t submerged the cut end again just the arial roots that were growing roots. I need help I dont want it to die 😭😭😭😭
I use well water from my home but I think tap will be fine. Do you have anywhere warm you can place it to help it root more quickly?
I recently transferred my monstera from soil to water, i keep getting root rot in water, WHYYY?
May I ask what prompted you to transfer from soil to water? That’s typically reverse of what we would do
Can you share some updates in a few months?
Yes absolutely I will!! Thanks for watching
Don't you have drainage holes in your pot for the mother plant?
Yes I do
I want that closed in porch.. I need more windows
Me too!
Nice video but a little faster please.
Noted
I don't think it's slow growing
It depends on the climate you live in
and the soil
Is that correct ?
Because I heard from gardeners that it is slow growing!.,?
It is generally pretty fast growing
Hi other videos say the pot should not be too big, nog bigger than the roots. Otherwise there will be rot.
It’s a question of watering frequency and ambient temperature that would lead to rot
Thank you Dennis 0:57
