Facts!!!
Hi from Japan! Ive watched so many videos about monstera deliciosa and adansonii -- yours is the well-explained, detailed video so thank you so much!
Hi there! Thank for your kind words! I really appreciate it! Please come back soon and often, please subscribe!
Can you grow monstera outdoors there?
Glad I found you. You have confirmed what I’m finding out about my Congo and Monstera. Thanks again.
Hello! Thank you for watching and commenting🌿❤️🪴 keep me posted and let me know of there’s anything else you would like to see on my channel.
I love that you are proof that not complicating things can produce beastie Monsteras.
I'm new to your channel but I got excited when I saw your huge monstera in thumbnail
Ok so I did a thing this week and bought a monstera 😂 always wanted one and have been on a hunt for one for a year and no place had them till this season 😍.
Much love from Canada ✌❤
Awesome! Thank you for sharing and watching🪴❤️ keep me posted about your monstera! It’s so much fun to watch the new 🍃 leaves unfurl
Team 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Wow, look at those gorgeous plants 😀🌿
Nice chair looks so good
Awe thank you so much for watching and commenting 💚🪴💚🪴
I found one today at my local true value for 14 dollars, couldn't believe it.
I didn't see the link for the neem extract in your description.
Also would like a video on what scale, spider mitds, & mealy bugs look like, or how to know if your plant has them.
Thanks!
Your monsteras are amazing!
Ok Jacks is on order!!! Today is watering day!!! Again more giant plants. Hoping the Jacks does it for me. I have good lighting.
Hi again, Chris! You'll love it...Jack's is a great product! My plants are getting so big that I have to frequently cut and propagate. My daughter and I were talking about how I might have to buy a greenhouse to put all of our propagations...it is getting VERY jungle-like in my home, haha!
@@plantluxxe Getting that way here too. Have to do some juggling around to place those wide leaf Adansonii. I will use the same little table for the plant stand and found an antique apple basket to set the liner pot in to then set the nursery pot into. And combining the three plants. On my shop the garage I also found a short stubby Cream can to use some where as another plant stand. Hummmm But where. Hahahaha OH and just got notice the Jacks has shipped. Arrival supposed to be July 2 just in time to do my next watering. I LOVE the jungle vibe going on in my old hip[[ie/boho house space. Hahahaha I never grew up. Once a hippie always a hippie. YES I am that old.
Thank you! How many monsteras do you own? That would be an interesting show. How many of each type of plant and how many within the same family. Plant geeks like us enjoy that kind of thing.
Hi Sacha! This is an awesome idea! I love it and will do a video on that... thank you 💕🙏🪴💚
hi! im new to your channel and loved this video, super helpful! I was wondering if in the future you could show how you wash your plants in the shower or how to position/use grow lights? im worried about overwatering my monsteras by washing in them in the shower. lol thank you :)
Yes, I will do a video about that! Thank you for watching my videos!
Loved ur class, instruction so clear. Love all info in your down below…. Headed out for a monstera delicious.
Thank you for your kind words... and thank you for watching my videos!!!💚😍💚
Great video and very informative!👍🏽👍🏽🤗
Thank you so much for watching! 💚🌿😊
@@plantluxxe- Your welcome!😊🌱
I missed this video for some unknown reason. Your Monsteras are beautiful and yes the Thai Constellation is out of my reach, I will eventually have one. Great video and thanks for sharing.
Hi again, Chrystal! Thank you! You are so sweet! Thanks for watching! Come back and see me again soon!
Beautiful Monstera deliciosa! Great info. So where did you get the constellation it's gorgeous? Thanks for sharing. Have a great day!😍💜🍃
DM me! And, thanks for watching!! I LOVE Monstera!!!

Now tell us the secret to growing beautiful healthy hair 😍 Your hair is absolutely gorgeous.
Hi Rawan! Thank you for your sweet and kind words! I use herbal essence shampoo and conditioner and that’s it. 😂 I take lots of vitamins and COQ10. Thank you for watching and commenting🪴💕 I appreciate your support!
I love watching your videos again and again. Good trick to use rooting hormone and Jack's to induce aerial roots. Just ordered rooting hormone. Could you throw some more light on the quantity and frequency to use it along with the Jack's.
Thank you for your kind words!! And, thanks for watching! I use 1/4 tsp. Per gallon of water.... every time I water. I give my recipe four for the spray in one of my first pothos videos toward the end....per quart a tiny bit of jacks and 1/8 tsp of rotting hormone.
Yes I do too. Learning so much from Christa. Nice little break time videos. So relaxing for me to watch.
Thank You, Your plants are the BEST I've seen on TH-cam, so I want to do what ever you do! Regarding the humidifiers, how many do you need? Do you have one in each room? Or for a large, open concept area, how many humidifiers per sq foot? I need to purchase some, and would love to know what you do. Thank You!
Thank you so much🙏♥️ and also thank you for watching and commenting 💕🪴
I have 5 humidifiers…. I will post the one I use on plantluxxe.com because it’s my favorite and I think it’s the best 😂🪴💕
Great info
Thank you so much for watching and commenting 🪴💚
Great info. I’m really glad I found this page.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much! Thanks for watching my videos!
I love your plants and advice!! I just your wish your camera person wasn't so fidgety. :)
Hi
Your plants are so beautiful. Where can I buy them?
Generally speaking, how long does it take for the leaves to split?
Hello! This depends on maturity of plant. A year at minimum for a baby plant. I am guessing, since mine had splits already upon arrival. Thanks for watching my videos😊💚💚
about a year or two, the more light you give it, the faster it will split and the more splits there will be
Wow 😳 beautiful 😻 the plant 🪴 nice to
Thank you so much for watching and commenting 💕🪴 there cat has bright green eyes! He loves plants 🪴 😂
Hi!
Love all the information! But can I fertilize my Monstera once a week? And the spray combo is a great ideas! Thank you
Yes...I use Jack's and it has directions for a fertilize everytime you water. Look for that on your fertilizer label! Thank you for watching my videos!!
plantluxxe thank you❤️
Wow. So much info! Thank you so much! I did not see the neem oil extract you were talking about in the description. Did you take it off?
Oh shoot ... check my plant care video. I know it's posted there. Sorry about that💚🌿🌱❤ thank you for watching my videos
Neem oil is an easy find. You can get them from a health store like gnc
Oh I forgot to say beautiful so beautiful God bless
You are so kind, thank you!! And may God Bless you as well!
Thanks for the tips in taking care of this plant. Now I know how to take care of my small monstera deliciosa beacause my big monstera died because of too much watering.
Hi Joan,
I am sorry to hear that your big monstera died from overwatering. I am glad you found my video helpful for future monstera care. Thank you for watching my videos... check out my other videos too! Let me know how you're new monstera is doing in the future!💚💚😍💚
@@plantluxxe I will for sure. Thanks😊
What is that paint color on your accent wall? Thanks for the tips.
Hi Twiggles! Which wall? The blue or the red one? Or are you talking about the light beige wall? Let me know and I can send you the paint can info! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Your plants are beautiful
I've heard Monstera can grow without soil, in aquariums. What are your thoughts on this?
Yes they can grow these in water… however I’m not fish savvy and couldn’t tell you what fish species you could put in there with that plant 🪴? That might be something to look into! Best wishes and let me know what you decided and how it’s going… spines like a very cool project🪴🌿 thank you for watching and commenting 💚🌿
How far up do you place the soil when potting the up the Monstera? How do you avoid root rot when you plant up to a much larger pot
Hello! Thank you for watching my videos! Root rot has never been an issue for me. I put about 4 inches to 6 in bottom, depending on size of the pot that I am up-potting to. I let it dry out on top of soil about 2 to 3 inches before watering. I use a well draining soil mixture, potting mix. Hope this helps! Come back and see me again soon!
Hi Christa ur plants are beautiful 🎉 do u ever sell any of them i would be first inl line❤
Hi ! Thank you so much. Yes I do sell them. Check out plantluxxe.com ❤️🪴
Hi there! So glad I found your channel 🌿🌱 what if the plant is getting brown spots/patches?
Hi Ronnie,
Brown spots on a Monstera could mean a couple of things. What is your lighting situation? Fertilizer regiment? Pest past? Treatment regiment of pests or to prevent pests? And, do you have pets? And is there a heating vent or AC vent nearby? Last Q: have you taken it outdoors?
plantluxxe thank you for the response! I just got it a week ago and it looked nice and green. It’s not in direct sunlight, no ac or fan hitting it. The soil was moist so I didn’t water it until two days ago. How would I know if it’s infected with something? Just saw that a new leaf growing turned soft/mushy almost at the root 💔 it was one of the ones with the brown spots. I have two pugs and I have not taken it outside.
Nice vid but i'm confused about if they can stay indoors with just window light. I have a couple different variations outsides some are 8 feet tall. obviously i have many options for and indoor cutting, but when I do they just dont seem healthy,. do you give the every couple day outside rotaTIONS to get more sun?
Hello! Thank you for commenting and watching… Monstera are easy to have and grow indoors! Just keep them in Bright indirect light and have a regular watering and fertilization regiment!
What do you do with cold damaged leaves?
Hello! I do not get cold damage leaves because I keep my plants indoors.🌿💚🌱😊 thank u for watching my videos
This video out very helpful I just bought my 1st one. What is the large dark green leaf plant behind you
Hello! That is a Rojo Congo Philodendron behind me. I gave a few videos on them here on my channel as well. Thank you for watching my videos!
What is the large beautiful dark plant beside you ?
I bet that one was the Rojo Congo! It was breath taking. RIP due to rust spots. 😭😭 I plan to get another one this summer and give that a go. There so prone to rust spots though and they infect other philodendrons. I tried everything to treat that poor guy. Better luck next time💚🥲
Great info beautiful!
Thank you, Mart! Thanks for watching💚🍃🌿🌱🙏
Me again....also, do you use the neem oil/dish detergent spray ONLY when you have pest, and just straight neem oil for shining/cleaning leaves, or ALWAYS the neem/detergent mix? Thanks Again!
Hi Pandora! I use neem oil extract mixed with soap and water. I do this about once a month or so as a preventative for my plants….. and also thank you for watching and commenting 💕🪴
The root growth hormone spray is genius. Just ordered some--thank you.
Hello! The root growth hormone spray you make yourself, Haha. . . No one sells that! I made it myself using 3 ingredients from different fertilizer companies. I might need to make another video on that. . . Be on the lookout! Thanks for watching!
@@plantluxxe did you made video on that??
@@TheGreenbutsad hello! you just re- inspired me to get it done by reminding me! Thank you for reminding me!♥️🪴❤️ my ingredients are Jacks, root growth hormone, and filtered water. You can probably use tap, but some cultivars don’t like it. Don’t spray adansonii or delicate varieties. Dilute the fertilizer about half. Video coming soon!! ♥️🪴❤️ thank you for reaching out!
@@plantluxxe 😍 Thank you.
This is a great video! Is that a variegated one by your left knee?
Yes! I have posted a recent video on that Thai constellation …I had to repot it because it got so HUGE
Hi can you tell me what do you use to make the leaf shine it look beautiful
Hello Genesis! I use neem oil to treat the leaves and wipe them down. It works like a charm. Thanks for watching!🌿😊💚
plantluxxe thanks
Jack’s has a number of different NPK ratios to choose from. Which one do you use?
Hi Chris! I use 20/20/20. I sell my fertilizer at plantluxxe.com thank you so much for watching and commenting ❤️🪴
Please share how you water all those giant monsteras? Mine are getting too heavy to lift out and fully water it. But then top watering leads to the water just running through and collecting in the pot
Hello! I water from the top and can’t take them out of the pot. My pots have a built in reservoir in the bottom (got them at Home Depot and Lowes) , they are also on a dish with wheels haha so the extra spills out the bottom of the pot. I will create a video and show how I do it. Thank you for watching and commenting♥️🪴❤️
Tedrık Ederım seni. Çok. Mükemmel. Çiçeklerin. Ve. Çok. Tatlı. Çiçek. Saygılar sevgiler seni. Teşekkür ederim. Seni 💛💛🍀🍀🍀🍀🎄🦋🎄👋
What size pot do you have your big momma’s in?
Hello! The big mamas are in 18 inch pots. Thanks for watching and commenting🪴❤️
Hi I believe I’m new to your channel. My channel is new. Thanks for this.💚
I will check it out! Thank you for your support and for watching!
Hi christa 🤗 this video is very helpful,i have no deliciosa, i have a adansonii 🌿have this plants the same care ore watering and light ...🤔have a nice weekend 💚☺
Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching🌱🌿💚 adansonii are a bit different with regard to care...I might have to do a guide for that as well. Keep a lookout! Thanks again!😊
Thank you so much for watching! Adansonii care is a little different. I will have to make a video on that too. 💚🌿😊
Hi! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOSSS
I just got myself a pot of mature monstera deliciosa with 4 huge leaf.. I just wondering, should I cut it to several separated "stem"? Will cutting it into several different cuttings make it grow faster? Or will it better to let it alone with one long stem? I want it to grow faster and bigger.
Please pleasee help me decide... all 4 node already have good soil root... but definitely not root bound
Hello HII MII, your comment was held for review for some reason and I didn’t see it… I’m so sorry that ytube held it. I’m not sure why this one was? Anyway, how Is your monstera doing? Did it grow large?
I’m doing a Q n A video where I will talk about this topic because I think it’s a great one! Video coming by Thursday! Thank you for commenting!
Hi my new plants the new leaf doesn't grow please 🙏 help me
🌿 ❤️ thank you for watching and sharing! Can you provide more detail so I can help you?
What do the pest look like
Hello! There are several types of pests. Which pest are you asking about? Mealy bugs- white cottony looking, whereas thrips are black. Spider mites are nearly invisible but most oftentimes leave webbing in the petiole of the leaf and/or in the fenestrations …Would you like me to create a video about the most common pests on monstera? Or on all plants? Let me know 🪴💚
Hi. Thank you for your videos. I really enjoy them.
I bought a beautiful monstera and the after about 6 months I re potted it... Since then all the new growth gets smaller and smaller. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you
Hi! Guess what? The next video I am working on talks about this! It'll be posted sometime tomorrow! Thank you for watching my videos!!
@@plantluxxe that is amazing. I can't wait to see it. Thank you ☺️❤️
I heard small growth is due to not enough light.
@@eps4560 yeah but is right in front of an east facing window and gets sun all morning. I have since staked it up and the newest leaves are getting bigger ☺️ thank you for your comment 😍
I was wondering if I don't stake my monstera will it grow up the rock wall in my house?
Hi Ellen! What kind of monstera is it? You might have to train it up your wall.... that's what I would do! Cool idea! Thanks for watching ... come back soon and often💚😍😊🌿🌱
That monstera water propagation.... Did you check the back of the leaves? The discolouration patches looked similar to when my monstera had thrips 💦
Hi Ayaka!
Oooh.. thanks for that tip! I will check! And thank you for watching!!🌱💚🌿😍
I propagated a few Monstera cuttings. 4 to be exact. Two are growing lots of new roots. One has been in water over a month with barely any new root growth. Maybe a 1/16th of an in of one new root. But the leaves still look fine. (Is this normal?) i also have another that i put in soil to fast. Which i placed back into water. Is it ok to do this? Thanks for any help or advice.
Hi Johnny! I have done that before and everything came out okay ...I have also tried sphagnum moss. Each one is good, but I have the most success in water or sphag ... soil works for me too....I did many propagations that way. I have so many now that I’m running out of room 😂 . Thanks for watching!
@@plantluxxe i appreciate you answering me. Thank you!
I recently purchased five very young monstera deliciosa plants..not thinking about how big they are going to get 😂😂😂 my house is going to be overflowing
YAY! Congrats on your new plant babies! Yes! They end up taking over the house. You'll have a jungle before you know it. HAHAHA! Thank you for watching my videos!
What kind of fertilizer you use on your plants
Jack's! Please watch my other videos. I extensively talk about Jack's fertilizer!
Your monsteras are beautiful! Thanks for all the tips! Where did to get your variegated one?
DM me! And, thanks for watching!
😍😍😍
Hello sorry I missed you appreciation post I caught up thank you oh my God bless
I am so happy you are here watching my videos! Thank you!
My monstera deliciosa plant has New leaves growing out but they are browning at the tips before they even unfurling... Help? I watered it once since I got it about three weeks ago it's in a 10 inch pot
Hello! It sounds like an over watering or an underwatering situation. If it were me, I would propagate it. I would also repot it with new soil. And, I would recommend a water meter as well. Be sure you have it in enough sunlight--these plants are notorious for browning at the tips when they aren't getting enough light.
@@plantluxxe Thanks, I did checked the roots, they look good. Its not pot bound and I definitely got a water meter. Thanks
I was planning on propagating as well, but the air roots are so long. Can I cut them?
Hi! Do not cut them....the plants needs them for all kinds of reasons! bury them in the soil if you don't like the looks of them. They are really helpful to have when you are propagating! Thanks again for watching!
plantluxxe thanks for the info. Im glad you got back to me. Dont hear much about that on other videos. Mahalo from hawaii
Do you have to wash neem oil off after use?
Hi! No you don’t need to wash off neem oil after use! It protects the leaves by preventing pests and it won’t clog the pores of your leaves. Just be sure to follow package instructions for potency and you can dilute it a little more, if your worried about your most delicate 🍃 leaves... thank you for watching!🥰🪴
Can you link the neem oil extract that you use?
I will post it on my website tomorrow, July 8. Plantluxxe.com
Hey Lauren, I forgot to post it on my website, very sorry about that. Can you send me an email and I can send you the info? Plantluxxe@gmail.com
@@plantluxxe just did :) thank you so much!! I bought jacks through your link and I can already tell a difference! Thank you again

One Country----one plant. If you would like to contact me I have some ideas on this video. We could take tea and chat. Let me know Snods!
So no grow light for them??
Hi Marissa! I should have mentioned in the video that yes there are grow lights in the room... it completely slipped my mind to tell that you viewers... but I do have the ones I use linked in the description. Thank you for watching😍🌱💚🍀🌿
Wow, u have a lot in your house. My Grandma had them in the garden and they were all over and huge.
