I have been a professional gardener for the last (ahem, ahem, embarassed to say how many years). This, your channel, is the single most ARTICULATE, well-explained, and comprehensive source of information I have ever found for Monstera deliciosa plants -- but more importantly, you are a naturally entertaining dryly witty person. LOVE IT ! If you ever considered publishing a Monstera Book, I would say "go for it". Oh, and PS you have a great voice, do your own voiceover for the audiobook version.
Thank you! You're so kind.
💯
Absolutely agreed! Card ready to buy your book!
I agree, you are great doing tutorial videos!
I personally really enjoy how focused he is on Monstera Deliciousa as well! It, and all of its various fenestrated cousins, is definitely my favorite plant. Coming here for all of my questions focused on one plant really helps me understand more about gardening as whole, and that translates to my other plants as well!
Don't even have a plant but I stayed because the dude seemed chill asf.
OMG, why he didn't hear /pin your coment? When someone tells me this makes me the most happy and proud, because that's the best you can get as creator when peoples stick around with you no matter if the subject is common or not.. I do have that plant, i try to care for it, it keep dying and coming back to life, i'm embrassed of it cause i keep having it on my videos, and in some video it is alive in some is dead lol, it keep doing that, i have no idea why.
Me, too!
lol same
That's also what I like. Love growing plants!
Omg, is he in Toronto? The balcony looks exactly the same as mine! Valhalla Inn. ?
gosh, it has been years since my Monstera Deliciosa had that large of leaves! Yours is a very happy plant!😁
Mine, about forty years ago, was in a pot two feet wide and about the same height. It is still in that ceramic pot. When I moved out of my apartment it was covering the whole ceiling of three quarters of the apartment (about three hundred square feet). Yet it was in the same pot. There were two windows and a sliding glass door illuminating the space. One window and the door were a south elevation. The other window was fixed glass and high up (Mid-century modern cathedral ceiling) on the east wall. So it had plenty of light. I used to leave the door open to the balcony and the bedroom window also so that the sea breeze would provide constant fresh air. The result was spectacular. It took Fred (after thirty years I named the plant) about two years to completely cover the ceiling. the leaves were just as large and luxurious as yours. the weird part were the air roots. I cut them off at around eight feet from the floor. When I moved out, all of that growth had to be cut off and stuffed in a dumpster. My erstwhile neighbors flocked around for cuttings.
Fred is still around and now is about fifty-five years old (I was ten when the garden department manager at the Santa Ana Newbury's gave me the cuttings which started my plant out). He is soldering along, but is much deteriorated from his days of glory. I hope to recover the plant in the next few years.
Wow, thank you for sharing that. sounded like an amazing plant. 🌱
This is incredible ✌🏻😍
That sounds amazing! Would love to have seen Fred in his prime before he needed his haircut :)
photos pleease!
I love this little story about Fred
Monsteras being epiphytes, they can actually stay in smaller pots than people think. I'm thinking of the video by Summer Rayne Oaks where she tours the largest private research collection of Aroids at the Missouri Botanical Gardens and you can see a very old monstera that is over 2 stories high that is in a pot the size of the pot that this monstera was just potted out of.
Let them grow! Don't chop them unless they're too big/it's for aesthetic reasons.
He scared me when he said he was going to chop it’s head off. I’ve had my monstera over 40 years and have only repotted it TWO times, the last was a year ago. They don’t need a lot of fussing with. Mine doesn’t have a pole but I may try it as it’s so wide that when I have to bring in for the winter it takes up a lot of room in the kitchen.
This not only goes for Monstera👍
I slowly switch to said orchid bark on top and a bag of sand on the bottom, on all of my perennial's.
Potting soil is for seasonal greenery only and mostly remains in the bag.
@@zuzuspetals9281 I got my monstera as a two leaf (TINY leaves) cutting from a friend back in September 2021. It is way bigger already, and I even started getting leaves with fenestrations very early on. I haven't had to repot it and I'm not sure when I actually will have to. It just keeps throwing out bigger leaves with more fenestrations, and the only leaves that have died were those two small leaves it started with, which wasn't surprising given their dwarf size in comparison to all of its other leaves. I also don't have a pole and so far see no signs of needing one - it has instead used its own root system and pot to create a support for itself, with a VERY thick root winding around the edge of the pot that's very sturdy and seems to be holding its entire weight up that way.
@@zuzuspetals9281 would you repot to the same size pot just to refresh the soil? I would think the soil would eventually run out of nutrients
I went and watched that video. It’s probably an important distinction that their monstera was attatched to a wall. The person leading the tour mentioned that “once it attaches to the wall, the pot doesn’t matter”, so maybe the aroil roots become more of a supplier.
The fact that he is winded when he says, "see? super easy" lol I couldn't on my own like that.
You can trim the roots and keep the plant in a smallish pot while the plant itself is big and growing. In bonsai roots are trimmed all the time. A lot worth learning in bonsai techniques.
Thxforheinfo!
THANK YOU!!! I have no idea where this idea came from that touching the roots is 'bad' or will harm the plant in some way.
It's ludicrous and you actually *need* to interact with the roots every now and then in order to root prune. Roots are tough, so thank you again for the reminder to folks that they can and should look into bonsai techniques ('cause they go AT those roots!) for healthier plants.
@@ALNizhoni Well, I guess some plants may be very sensitive in their roots, but most can tolerate root pruning. The best result is achieved through pruning right at the beginning of a growing season when the plant is just starting to grow again. I wish you all the best with your plants.
@@ALNizhoniI used to think the same way until an older friend told me "Remember: The plants are alive and they want to stay that way. They'll bounce back.
Trimming the roots in bonsai art is meant to stunt the growth, so that you get a small tree that looks like a mature one. If you trim the roots on your large Monstera, then the new growth won't be as big as previously.
I'm just upset this video isn't 3 years old. I wanted to go down a rabbit hole of your monstera report videos. Also I'm happy to see another plant pop living on the city landscape with a balcony. Btw I added fake grass to my balcony and absolutely love it.
Not only are you plant knowledgeable but you are a very good presenter. Nice work! I'm subscribing.
When I repot a much smaller plant, already so much goes through my head. Can't imagine having to repot this size of a plant! You made it look easy. Great tips! Thank you 😁
You made this look so easy. I've repotted many a plant sitting down on the ground. Easier then straining my back. Glad to read all the comments,
they all like your style.
I am so glad you posted this. I have been avoiding doing this for months. It’s time. I’m gonna do it. Maybe next week.
good luck with your repot. You got this.
Me too!
What a beautiful plant! Your care shows.
Thank you very much!
I really hurt my pothos by repotting it wet, after pruning a ton of it. I feel so bad. It is still hanging on but the leaves are tiny now. I wish I had found your channel before I did it. I just got a pretty big monstera as a gift and I am bookmarking this to follow along when she is ready for a new home!
Damn, Pothos are hardy as hell. I’ve had hundred of different kinds of plants and I have to say in my experience, Pothos are among the hardiest. You must have done a number on it 😂 It should bounce back eventually, though!
You could try feeding it fertilizer if you haven’t already
Your Monstera is just gorgeous and you take such wonderful care of her. ❤ it shows. she loves you❤
Thanks!
I had to laugh when you said about bigger and bigger pots. I live in a small house, and imagined my entire sitting room filled with a massive truck sized pot. Really helpful video,thanks 🙂
I also imagined this 😂
I like to propagate my big plants and sell pieces for extra cash every year and it keeps my plant manageable for the winter months inside.
“Feed me Seymour!”, right? 😂😂😂😂😂
@@mb5612 feed me NOW! 😅
@@ghengis430 😂🤣😂
Your plant appears super happy in your Home .
Yes, thank you 🌱
I'm new to plant life, but I am completely consumed by it!! I try to find out as much as I can about any plants I like or have, and I randomly found your video explaining why and where you should place your moss pole... That video changed my whole life!! I had a couple of moss poles randomly placed wherever in whatever, lol, I even thought to myself " I don't see how this goofy looking pole is going to benefit my plant at all!".. the way you explained it was perfect! I didn't realize that the plant has a back and a front ( although how the arial roots grow and the leaf face out it makes perfect sense now!! ). Just wanted to let you know I appreciate you and thank you for sharing the knowledge you have ❤
You are a wonderful gardener. That Monstrara is in great shape. Thanks for showing us how to handle a large plant on our own. Sometimes if the root are too big take a big knife and cut around the edges. Or cut the pot off the plant.
Thank you for highlighting my comment. I hope you had a good Thanksgiving. 🍀💔🦃🌞🍀💔🦃🌞🍀💔🦃🌞🍀💔🦃🌞🍀💔🦃🌞🍀💔🦃🌞🍀💔🦃🌞🍀💔🦃🌞🍀💔🦃🌞🍀💔🦃🌞🍀💔🦃🌞🍀💔🦃🌞🍀💔🦃🌞🍀💔🦃🌞🍀💔🦃🌞🍀💔🦃🌞🍀💔🦃🌞🍀
I got a monstera cutting bout 2 yrs ago. It took a long time to take off, but it finally has. Grown bout a foot and half in a yr. Starting to split nicely and many new leaves coming in. Cant wait for it to get real full, tall. Thank you for all your advice. Noted....
I've never heard of double sided velco plant tape, this will be a game changer for my gardening
Fascinating!
I repotted mine before seeing your awesome video. Wish me luck. It was 6'x6' and I separated into several new plants. I am sharing the plant with a few people and I am giving the momma a new lease on life. Thanks for your knowledge!!!
I just got my first monstera and I believe I’m counting 5-6 different stalks in the pot. Of course I grabbed the biggest plant I could find at the nursery. I’m now realizing that it might be a bit of a job to repot it. The stalks appear to be growing in all directions with no support. It has been suggested to me to gently separate the plants using chopsticks to separate the roots😅 I am very anxious! I intend to make a handful of different smaller pots of monstera out of it. Luckily, mine is not as tall as yours. Maybe 2-3’ tall and 3’ wide. Wish me luck!
Sounds like a big job!
Good luck.
I love that you talk to us crouched behind said monstera 🤣
Way to go you did it all by yourself It does look super easy I wonder how long it took for your monster to grow that big It's a beautiful plant
Thanks, somewhere between 2 - 2.5 years.
Wow I can't wait until Monday get that big you're definitely doing something right love your videos
Wow you are giving the plant SO much love
That soil mix, mm! 👌🏼 and it shows because that monstera is just so, so gorgeous!
New sub here, my monstera's leaves are facing different ways after it grew outwards, i repotted with a stick now, maybe the bumps it created when going over the pot will straighten with the stick 🙏. I'd love to see a video on fixing an unkept monstera or a rescued one
I really need help with that also??
Wow, your monstera seems to really like you. Probably because you're so adorably cute and have a great sense of humour.
Thanks for sharing and the info. Keep smiling & have fun, the both of you...
Thumbs up & subbed
Your monstera is such a dream 😍 I wanted to use a tree branch as a pole for my monstera too but I heard that with watering there could be some rotting of the wood, do you think it's a thing to worry about or not? Thank you in advance 🥰
Birch is fairly rot resistant. Using a well draining mix ensures your pole isn't 100% soaking in water all the time. You could use a non-toxic weather sealant (I dont).
You could use a cedar pole. They don't rot and they also repel pests.
So glad I've found you in time. I love my Monstera but didn't know what to do to re-pot.
I have two monsteras that need repotted and staked. They are both old plants but not really large as they've gotten neglected, sunburnt, forgotten, moved too frequently, etc. over the years. Ive taken them on and still struggle. One is growing sideways out of the pot and needs staked asap. The other I had staked, then I repotted and stuck it back down into the dirt as I didnt know at the time they were climbing plants. Its now starting to climb again and has finally grown some nice new leaves. I can't believe how lush and healthy your plants are!! I think mine have a harder time in the dry Utah air.
This was a decent video!! I keep my plants manageable. Repoting is something I dread but it's needed!! Btw, love the creativity on that makeshift monster pole video awhile ago.
Your channel is the best that I've found. You keep it basic and easy to follow. I can't believe how BIG these plants get. Holy cow.
Thank you very much!
Watched a couple of your monsterra videos and am delighted to not only learn but be entertained 😊 Getting ready to repot mine for the first time and feeling waaaay more prepared to do so. Thaaanks! 🪴
That's great. Thanks for watching.
Love the wrestling move😂. I lol many times. Great job repotting! Do you sell rooted cuttings? I’d love to buy a variety. I love your plants.
I don't sell cuttings! Maybe one day.
I was not even aware that Monsteras have their front and backsides...I feel myself so ignorant 😂 Thanks for the nice video!!
Loving your Monstera Deliciosa it's about time for me to get a new one and start over because mine is her last leg sadly but you're doing such an awesome job with yours. #monsteragoals💚🌿
Bravo!! That is a big repot and I hope my tiny 4 inch potted monstera will become just as beautiful.
I don't even own a monster! (I swear, don't look in the closet)
That looks like a really nice plant though, so big! so green! such neat leaves! I bet it makes whatever room its in feel really cozy and alive.
Wish I had one that size!
I'll keep watching and trying to have patience. On the meantime I hope I won't kill mine ..lol
Good growing! hope it goes well.
My monstera is more than 25 years old & has been reported 4 times. I have no support pole. It is lush & full all the way around. It spends summers outdoor & comes inside for winter.
I have such problem with growning this plant and I soooo Love them
What do you have hooked on some of the leaves and aerial roots?
Looks like sachets for predatory bugs
correct!
That was fun - thanks! Monstera is the perfect name for that plant.
It's happy you treat it well.
I've got a big monstera, it's just one vine in the pot but the leaves are amazing. The last leaf was a little small so if this new one is also smaller I'm gonna have to repot it. I'm gonna have to move it to a different room and move the lights and furniture around to accommodate it. It's gonna be a lot if work but I refuse to chop it, soon the stem will be so thick I won't even be able to wrap my hand around it!
Don't have a Monstera, but now I want one.
Wow, does nobody have friends anymore that are willing to help? I am sorry for the world and i feel blessed that my friends appreciate my plant insanity even if they dont feel it. And that they are willing to help with anything if i ask. Maybe those other people arent friends...
This guy is awesome! I need your help,seriously. Fantastic job with nurturing these beautiful beasts. Brilliant
This has officially made me decide I’ll be chopping my monstera and giving most of it away, just to keep mine small. Lol
Look up planttechs vid on propagating monstera and you'll have an idea of where to chop
I absolutely love the style and vibe of this video
What a beautiful Monstera plant. The leaves are so healthy and large.
Oh la la! Forget about CrossFit, repot your monster monstera!! J’adore!! What a beauty!
Thanks for your advice I need to repot my Monstera in the spring is putting roots out the bottom but being that it’s November, I’ll wait till the spring
It's ok to do winter repotting, but waiting until spring is also fine.
when he said "6 inches deeper" I felt that
The way I, with shame, looked away from my iPad when you said “as long as you’re not overwatering” 😂😂😂
I get so excited when I see a new KTP vid in my feed! This was great, I'm a looong way off from this, but someday I'll be putting this advice into practice 😤
You'll get there!
I’m so thankful I found you page. You truly have quality learning information.
You’re the coolest plant nerd ever 😂❤ you’re making nerds extra coo mane! Salute too this nerd 🤓 I need nerd friends like this!
Lol reminds me of my vine I had 13 years, he stayed in the same pot well over 5 years then few others, it was effectively a masse of self supporting aerial roots, lol kinda like those swamp trees
I put mine into what I hope is it's last pot... I'm training mine to be tall rather than wide so hopefully the footprint should stay about 2-3 feet on the ground
This… plant… is GORGEOUS. I want to know it’s story. Like a video where it’s an interview about you and the plant. I’m serious. How long have you had it? How are none of its leaves imperfect? How are they all so fenestrsred?
Thanks for the tips, hopefully mine will grow as big as yours has
Use a fabric pot. Keeps the roots from getting bound and stops it from growing too big.
That plant is beautiful. I love large plants.
I have 2 really big too repot this weekend.this was soooo helpful thank you
Thank you for this super honest repot video!
Your plants are so beautiful!! Thank you for all your tips and suggestions…
Monstera (蓬莱蕉，龟背竹) loves big space, your monstera is very healthy and lovely.
Love your video brother, with your knowledge you know, you should make your own soil for the 1/4 of the cost. Beautiful plant. They're looking super healthy and honestly super spoiled. Keep them this way, and they will blossom
Absolutely GORGEOUS plant. This was wonderful, thank you so much for sharing.❤
Ohh very huge monsters delicious . I have mine also . I've repotted already maybe twice ..I love monsters deliciousa because it's a kind of philodendron that it's not making a vine . Watching your video always about plants because I'm a plant lover also. Support here new friend from the Philippines
Thanks for reminding me that I need to do this
Love what are you doing! Greetings from Switzerland
Hello!
This is my first visit to the site, for which I subscribed. I was moving monstera to a better site. I took all out of the ground in site 1.
Then, my cat scratched me, and I was in hospital of treatment.I came back today, and the poor things ( south central Florida) were in various shades of brown, with not much leaves in green. I am going to cut them back, stake them in the ground, and pray. (Tomorrow)into site 2.
All suggestions welcome.
Lol. Good job. I really enjoyed the video. I have a monstera that will need to be re-potted in the spring.
That Monstera is HUGE!! 😍
That's a very healthy happy guy 👌
I've just discovered your channel and you're so funny and informative! Thank you and keep up the great work :D
Your channel is wonderful! Very helpful information, well done video. Thank you for making this and sharing it here ~ we love ocean forest potting soil too!
This was very helpful! My pups will be off to a great start with the help of your content. ❤
What a beauty of a monstera!
Reminded me off my monstera I got from someone's yard, it had 39inch/1metre long leaves. I potted it up into a 19inch/500mm pot but after it started to grow a leaf the sudden realisation hit me that it will just get more giant I ain't got any more room on my second floor. Plus one thing about big pottings is that you never really water the medium properly to cover all areas even worse with chunky substrate.
I just got a monstera it’s my first plant. Binge watching these videos
She’s so pretty! 🥰
Thank you for the lovely video.Maybe if you used a cultivator hand tool and just pulled off soil at the bottom and sides you could refresh the soil there and put the plant back into same size container and delay going to the largest container which will be heavier!
Omg she(plant) is a true beauty. 🥰😍
I love Monsters! ❤My favorites!
My bro really just said “like you ganna crush a watermelon” like doing it like that is normal 😂
Beautiful plant man! I’m a monstera plant mother this year and it is a baby baby plant 🪴
its normal for ME! 😅
Good luck with your plant.
why is it every time your videos pop up I feel like im being called out LOL
I only make videos to call you out.🤣 What should I do next?
As my grandfather used to say, it’s your guilty conscience.
@@lisascenic side eyes my plants* someones a SNITCH
That process wiped you out. LOL
"Here's a wrestlers move " and "Position like you're gonna crush a watermelon" LMFAO
😁
I’m still trying to figure out the back…I think I have more than two plants in my pot.🙏🏾❤️👏🏾
I love when mine gets big; then I'm able to propagate, grow roots, and sell propagated pieces.
Ah, this is wonderful. Thank you. I’ll have to try the wrestling technique as it’s time to repot mine. I bet staked mine and it’s quite unruly, kinda like a Medusa hair situation. Mind a shout out for the pit you are using and stake tethering options? Thanks, love this.
You could cut up to a third of the roots off and put it in the same size plant pot. The roots will re grow and it does not damage the plant
I absolutely love this channel. Thank you as always!
I so badly wanted to help. What a magnificent plant. I'd leave it in the new one for 2 years.
You're right, it might end up being two years but we'll see!
U r a great plant dad!
Wow! Really learned a lot!! Thank you for your knowledge, beautiful Monstera!! 👍🏼 👏
Oh wow
Well done you ! Beautiful plant but what a job! 😊
