    A few years ago, I bought 1 small Monstera Deliciosa from a box store and put it outside in the shade - I’m in Indiana 20 minutes from Chicago. GROWTH WAS EXPLOSIVE. Turns out it was 5 sprouts in 1 pot. I separated them and the next spring I put them in a spot in my yard where they got morning sun, afternoon shade and lived off rainwater. They ALL GOT FENESTRATIONS IN THE MORNING SUN IN ONE SUMMER. Since then I’ve been water propagating top cuttings on occasion and giving the Monstera offspring away - I lost track of how many plants that one has produced. They live inside from mid-October until May, and outside from late spring until the first Chicago cold snap in mid-October. Your tips about staking and soil have helped. Thanks!

    I don’t propagate in soil or moss simply because I have ridiculously high failure rate. They all died except that one stick of rosemary I had placed against a wall… A few years ago I had some cuttings in a vase for display and noticed they didn’t die. A closer look revealed roots! I’ve done all my propagation since then in water, with only one failure. I’ve recently started experimenting with perlite and LECA because of how popular they are, really enjoying trying all these new methods.

    Had a stalk that my cat sliced off with no node. I put it in water and got plenty of roots, but after 2 years I decided it was a zombie plant with no hope. The rest of the plant has been growing slow and steady, but no fenestrations. I've ordered a light fixture to mount a grow light to the wall above it.

    For me, what I do with my plant cuttings is put them in water, in a brightly lit area, then change the water (filtered or rain) every 3 days. Also every 1- 2 days I use a battery-operated whisk thingy for frothing (the cheap ones) and whisk up or aerate the water. I find this helps. Also using a little cinnamon, on the newly cut ends (while the ends dry out a little) helps to stop fungal probs. This works for me.

    leca changes pH of the water, that's the reason I never use it... and the soil provides more natural light conditions - darkness for building the roots and new leaves are going towards the light. I'm pretty sure that the soiled monstera will be also the strongest one :) You should also try to put perlite into the darker place until the plant is rooted, it should work! Theoretically^^

I was hoping that you would have the answer as to why that is but you seem to have the same question lol...

      Interesting strategy. I'm chaotic as hell with my experiments so I don't keep good track of stuff. What I found is roots form very quickly when it's extremely moist. So putting it in water (or what you did) at the start until it starts to grow roots and then putting it in soil is probably that ultimate way to get these wet sticks going. It's like seed germination really.

    Alot of local growers here in the states propagate in soil or moss. Mainly because they don't have room in their greenhouses for water props. I have had good luck with propagating the monstera genus in moss and perlite. I tried water and fluval but moss/perlite reined supreme for my monsteras. Its funny how different plants prop in different mediums. I'm propping my first ficus cutting in straight perlite. Its really taking off. I have hoyas in water, fluval and some have propped in moss. I transition the water and fluval cuttings to leca then their final resting medium coco choir and perlite. Its a process 😂 i'm actually really surprised some propped in moss honestly even without drainage in my mini greenhouse

    once i was in a Walmart looking at this huge monstera, it was $40 so i decided to just take a cutting and propagate it for free at home 😅 this was THREE years ago, and it just grew its first ever fenestrated leaf!

      @@GillNolan yes, dear; she's a slow one! although i’m sure your monstera won't take quite as long to mature as mine did! i think mine was incredibly stunted from the way i ripped it from its stalk in the store 😅 but if i've learned anything from this channel to help my monstera thrive, it's 1) as much indirect sunlight as possible; 2) chunky soil in small pots 3) they do NOT like transplants or root disturbance of any kind!

    I would change the water because if i been doing stuff in water then water gets glumpy and i am afraid for rotting but much i been messing with seeds like avocados are good example then some times wet paper works best and then soil works the best but sometimes i got mold one or other. most seeds i been failing was citrus and peach seeds. They always did go rot or mold but now i nailing every time and idk even what i do different and where i haven't got success is any nut tree. Peanut, chestnut, hazelnut, all of them getting mold and oh yeah succulence's. Most of thei stay weeks the same and nothing happens and then they just dry out or rot.Have a lot to learn but now i have baby monsteras too from seeds. 5 from 1 has put their tip out. Monsteras did come because you 😅 the second plant is on my target too what you showed beginning in video but i need to finds seeds.

    I’ve rooted a monstera wetstick in moss until well rooted, with one leaf, and then moved it to leca. It now has six leaves, the last one with one fenestration. All my big monsteras are in leca, with beautiful fenestrations and perforations. They just really love leca in my house. But you have to remember that you have to use nutrient solution when growing in leca. Water alone has no nutrients for plants!

    @akagainesy 27 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

    I thought you said you watch Gardeners World Mr Sheffield 🤦🏼‍♂️ most "outdoor" gardeners will propagate cuttings in a pot of compost mixed with some grit or pearlite type material. The extra nutrients from the compost will always give the cutting an extra boost over pearlite alone or water. That said I do all my indoor plant propagation in just water, doubled our monstera that way but had a proper cutting with a nice big leaf though.

    I find that propagating in leca needs some good aerial roots. When I don't have that I usually start my props in water and when I have bit of new root growth I'll transfer to leca (way less root than you would need for any other transfer) and that works well. When I prop straight into leca I find I need a decent aerial root (like 2cm for a 15cm cutting, but the more the better and ideally the tip of the root is intact). It worked perfectly fine for my esqueletto which had great aerial roots, it's currently in an old jam jar loving life.
    But in general I'd always recommend to prop in the medium one is most comfortable with. Sure something might work better for others, but can you replicate that or do you not have the time/ knowledge? I'd recommend some test runs on plants where it doesn't really matter if they fail or not ^^ And keep a close eye on those tests!

One of them is a cane begonia and I shifted the plant to water from soil and it seems to do good but one of the stems completely rotted and now there’s a nasty fungus on the water surface. I’m more confident in cutting stems now after watching your video so I’ll see what I can save. Will try your perlite experiment. I just missed how often do I have to spray the perlite one ? And do you cover the lid after the leaves are growing ? Appreciate any feedback
