- You can't grow the perfect plant forever. Eventually you have to cut your monstera, take top cuttings, root them, and start over. Here's how.

I used hedge clippers because I thought it would look cool. 🥲

lol....the hedge clippers at least showed how really tough the monstera stem is. I do have to admit that the other shot of the top of the plant was kinda cool to see it drop like that. Thanks for the video. I found out about you from Sheffield made plants (another favorite of mine) and I love your videos. I think one reason I like both channels is that you don't take plant keeping too seriously. It's fun, informative, and definitely shows that being a successful plant person means just winging it sometimes. Lol
I cried when I saw those and the bruises on the stems afterwards 😭
@@Sher-Burt the time between "I should have used a knife" and "well, I can't stop now" was 0.3 seconds.
@@KillThisPlant 🤣 sounds like life in general
I just used your code to buy the double aspects. I'm hoping I get my money's worth. I REALLY want my monsteras to grow huge. I have almost NO natural light and have been using Amazon halo lights. They've done okay, but if you want the results, you need the light. Thanks!!

It was pretty smooth i must say
Those Soltech lights are the TRUTH. I have the Aspect light and a 3 light track style one and it is absurd how much difference they make if you want nice plants indoors and you want it to look like a home still lol
Root your cuttings in just perlite moistened with distilled water. They will not rot as they will get a lot of air. And perlite makes roots grow really fast!
Your channel has become my "Bible" for taking good care of my Monstera.
This episode was amazing. I appreciate that you share details as well as describe what didn't work (problems possibly caused by the oil on the blades of your cutter?)
Your editing is perfect, and you don't indulge in chit-chat like too many How To channels.
The explanation of "front" and "back" of the cutting is important information that you thoughtfully included.
(I need to watch that part repeatedly so I understand it better)
I can't thank you enough for your content and excellent presentation. 💕🌱💕
You're a Monstera Whisperer!
Thank you also for the recommended plant light. 🌞💕
Thank you. This is such a nice comment. 🌱
@@KillThisPlant,
You are so welcome.
You deserve it because your videos address Monstera deliciosa, a species that is very unique.
It's difficult to find reliable knowledge and instruction about it.
I researched, searching for "how to cultivate M. deliciosa" and fortunately found your channel.
yesss
He does provide awesome content 🙌🏽
"It's fine now, it's fine." 😂😂 My mantra, sir, every single time I cut a plant -- any plant. 😂😂 Love your videos. Very educational, not a bunch of gibber gabber.
Glad you like them!
As a newbie to house plants. I’ve been watching and rewatching your videos. Am I the only newbie here that almost fainted when he made the first cut? I was definitely clutching my pearls during the rest of the video!
Also good job on the sponsor!
I’m so grateful that in searching for Monstera care on TH-cam I landed on your channel. You are so calm and knowledgeable. I now feel fully prepared to re-pot and propagate my two Monsteras. Thank you. 💕
You handled that monster monstera like a pro. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
I love ur attitude. So calm and relaxing watching ur vids
I've been growing monsteras for about three years now and I honestly sometimes still feel like a newbie. I recently had to repot my monsteras TWICE because I tried out a new soil that was just not draining well enough. When I saw you using literally the EXACT soil recipe I used to repot the second time, I felt like I had finally done something right lol. Thank you for these tips!!
YES! I love waking up to new plant videos and today I got TWO from two of my favorite creators. I just finished Sheffield Made Plants and now here. In fact, I learned about this channel from Sheffield Made Plants in the first place.
Tell Richard I said, hey 👋🏾
My two faves also!!
I just found your videos after realizing I need to restart my leggy monstera, and wow! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to show mistakes and successes, your videos are saving my plants!!
That plant is awesome. Your video is too, I leaned a lot, about taking cuttings properly, using clean tools, rooting, potting up rooted cuttings in proper soil mix, and staking. Thanks for sharing.
Perfect timing as I just told my husband that I needed to propagate mine as it's getting really big. Thank you
Glad I could help!
Wow! That’s a HUGE and beautiful plant 🪴 💚
What an awesome personality! The knowledge and the very specific video shots are so appreciated along with the sense of humor! So happy to be a new subscriber!
wow. that was a lot of time invested in a video for you to go from cutting to roots on that top cut. bravo
Super helpful! Im obsessed with my monstera plants! So easy to care for. Thanks! 💕
omg, thank you so much! i had no idea you can cut in the pot between roots in the soil!
Thank you so much for this educational video!
i needed this so much! Thank you for reading my mind.
This video answered my question I asked on your other video. My MD is growing aerial roots, they are just growing into the soil.
I have a large monstera and an even larger elephant ear growing up against my south facing windows. Yes, against, the picture windows are supporting them. At some point, they'll need dividing and replanting, and your videos are a great educational resource. Now I just need to get up the courage to do it!
It's so scary to cut big plants lol! Good luck :)
Simply gorgeous!!
Your Monstera is gorgeous! 😍 I'm hopeful that your cuttings proliferate just as beautifully.
Last month I finally tackled the same task. I now have THREE lovely plants to gaze at. 😉 It was ONLY your teaching & example that gave me the confidence to even attempt that job. Thanks!!
Thanks, good luck with yours too!
What a timely video! I have to do mine this weekend and your tips will help. Thx.
Love to see this type of content keep up with it man I subscribe love what you doing love to see young people into plants and different types of things nothing but positive vibes from this way 💚
I appreciate that! Thanks.
Love the trick about cutting your rooted nodes apart while they’re still in the pot! I hadn’t thought about that. I have a 4 leaf plant remaining after taking my cuttings and it’s re-growing one leaf from the top node. Plan was to let that grow out, cut it off and then separate the other 3 but after watching this I think I’ll just cut all of them apart right now and watch them all regrow together!
Pete has some great tips on his channel.
@@KillThisPlant,
Who is Pete, and what's his channel called? 🦋🌱🦋
@@OceanSwimmer Pete vs Plants
Instantly subbed, this is really awesome info and delivery
Dude, total respect on the growth! You do need lopper shears or anvil pruners. Be careful not to inhale the dust from the perlite.
Beautiful!!!
Another fantastic video- thank you!
U teaching methods are so awesome!!! I learn so much from you!! Stuff that I’d otherwise would have to ask around a lot or reaserch fairly much
Wow . Thanks for sharing on propagating Monstera
Omggg I been looking for you forever. I subscribed this time ! I learned my lesson 😂😂😂
Thanks for subbing!
Impressive! Thanks for sharing :)
Que grandes tus monteras amigo un abrazo
I just found you! 3 vids in and I have learned SO MUCH! And I consider myself to be well read when caring for plants. But i like to say, "you're not growing if you're not learning."
The snip prop tip at time 1:46 from your pal Pete verses Plants is wow!! What a great tip on ways to propagate. It makes total sense.
I have a 2 yr monstera that's 'rebirthed' bc i let her leaves get burnt, badly burnt. 🥺 Rookie mistake honestly. She's recovered nicely. Lost all the burnt leaves, only has 2 original leaves left. Every leaf is new. She's exploded Even put out some new leaves on the stems near the dirt. Anyhow, with your vids help. I've decided to let her be.
So glad to find ya. Thanks for helping me, and my plants grow.
Thanks for the nice comment! I hope your plants keep doing well
💪💯💭🙌🏻 fantastic class , professor! Nailed it😅
Oh my goodness, I was in pain watching you chop up that beautiful plant! But… yes, I know… she’ll grow into a big and beautiful plant again. Looking forward to follow up clips. Thanks!
It's almost back to it's full size again 🤦🏾♂️
Thank you so much. I just had an epiphany while watching this video. I now have the confidence to repot my wild monstera.
Good luck! 🌱
Thanks so much for this video. Live in India…. Relocating to Kolkata from Bangalore, 2000 kms. Need to take my monstera which has been growing in the ground! It is HUGE!
Whoa!!!! That’s a giant monster lol!!!! I hope my baby gets that big one day 🌳🌳🌳
Thank you
Super geniale Ideen hat de rKerl, ich danke dir für deine tollen Tipp und das tolle informative und lehrreiche video über Monsteras :)) Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland ;))
wow, that is a monster. You don't see leaves that big on potted Monsteras. Well done!
Cant wait to see how this comes out in the future, curious about the age of it.
LOL at first I thought Lee was jk with the clippers shaking like "oh no" bc he is a jokester sometimes haha
I agree with other i watch both channels KTP and Sheffiled, they are both so knowledgeable, informative and funny!
I have learned SO much between both channels Thank You so much for doing what u do 🙂
I don't have a monstera, yet. I do have a huge split leaf philodrendron. They look so similar, only no fenistrations. Good video! Now I know front from back, and I can use a plank or stick.
Let me know when/if you get one and how it goes 😎
Ok well now you're just showing off with that absolutely gorgeous Monstera!! WoW!! I would replace my TV with your Monstera and just stare at it grow lol Great work! Inspiring me to get one.
you are GOOD!
Thank you for this video. I have had my monstera for almost 3 years and it's over 7 ft. I am thinking about cutting and propagating, but was terrified I'd kill the whole plant. After watching your video, now I'm not so scared. Well maybe just a little 😉
JUST PICKED UP A ROADSIDER, LOOKED JUST LIKE YOUR THUMBNAIL!!
So nice planting good job 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Hot tip for when you trim a leaf, throw it in a glass bottle on a floating shelf and for about a month you can call it decor
We do love decor
We got a small mid cutting of a monstera a few months ago with my partner, and it's finally starting to grow bigger leaves than it had before ! Still no fenestration tough, but it's positioned near a window so i keep my fingers crossed !
That's great. I'm sure they'll come soon.
Maravilhosa. Aqui no Brasil eu tenho várias delas e fiz mudinhas também ❤
I really enjoyed watching this video. Not touch going on. But EVERYTHING going on. Ot was perfect. Amd for that, I hit that button.❤ Love the Vib. Look forward to more of your work. Much love from 🌴FL🌴
Thanks! Appreciate you.
that Monstera is huge! wow
The walking, talking and breathing hard with the monstera pot sent me, because that's exactly how it is repotting huge plants. Lol! Great video!
Haha! Haven't seen you around. Hope you're doing well.
Amazing plant, hope to get there one day 👍 how old would you guess this plant is? Thanks for sharing your tips with us, learned a lot about this amazing plant from you. Soltech is a beautiful light, I just checked out there website. I am in Germany and with shipping/taxes all that it costs around 280€ (~310$) so I guess I have to keep on searching… 😅
Great sharing amigo, thanks 7:03 👀👀
I love your videos!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the tips. Cool shirt. :P
Your videos are awesome, thank you for all the information! I have a small-ish happy monstera with lots of leaves, but she's incorrectly potted supermarket gurl. I have watched your videos and am preparing to restart her!
Good luck!
@@KillThisPlant
I also bought a "supermarket" Monstera;
My choice, because I was afraid it was too big for me to handle, was to go to a trusted, knowledgeable Nursery and bring my own unsealed cedar plank cut to the right height.
I was very lucky:
TWO of the Nursery employees are Monstera fanatics!
They worked together and lovingly repotted my plant properly....and she is growing like never before!
It was 1/3 the cost I anticipated, so a win-win.
There are options for those like me who didn't have the space or knowledge to do this myself.
NOW, with this video, I know what to do when my Monstera is too big to handle & needs separation/ propagation.
💕🌱💕
Edited to say:
My Monstera was not cut or repropagated: she was placed in a slightly (maybe 2" wider, and 3" deeper) plastic pot, backfilled with a custom mix of potting soil, pearlite, orchid mix, bark, and maybe a handful of worm castings)
I use a liquid fertilizer mixed with distilled water about twice a month, and distilled water when she is dry.
I love my Monsters and use distilled water on cloth to dust the leaves.
Yes, I talk to her, too. 🌱
There is something tantalising about creating new plants while they're still in each others pots. Feels like mad science 👀
Trop wow❤
Thanks
I have a rare opportunity to clip from a few monster sized Monsteras - hopefully your vids will provide good direction for rescuing some of these massive plants
Hi sorry maybe I've missed this part. What did you do with the mother plant?
Hey can we get an update on the top cuttings? Thanks!
I’m showing my Monsteras this video so they can grow big and beautiful like this one 🤤🤤🤤
🤣 hope it works!
I had no luck putting aerials into water either. I'm going to try soil props from now on!
Yeah, I've found that once aerial roots are dry, they don't fend well in water. Moss can sometimes revive them, but typically you're just waiting for more roots to grow in.
I have been wondering how to do this!
Have you tried getting it to flower and fruit?
that hoodie is FIRE🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ty ty
i made the experience that once a new sprouding leafe is krippled like this it will continue to grow out uggly for a long long while
or maybe the plant i got isnt just the best quality or something else was wrong i also think i might have it in a place to dark the issure is i dont really have any place with more light XD
so becouse my monstera stems all kinda grew wierdly i decidet to jut em and propagate only the top cutting
some roots are already developping and this time besides the seramis tropical perloit stuff il also add sand to my green plant mix hope this makes it better especially in winter when i have difficultys getting the soild dry again
in the old pot i also had mushrooms growing
Omgosh the size of those leaves is 🤯
WOW Beautiful plant!!
Thanks!
Awesome❤
I love your shirt!
How many years does it take to grow this big wow
For propagation I always use new razor blades and work my way up by rotating it around the stem. For a monstera this big it's gonna be a slow process, I did it to one slightly thinner than this one. You might want to wear good gloves to avoid slicing your fingers but the cuts are always very neat and clean
Tree pruners would have made nice clean cuts easily! 😊
Dude, where do you get your t-shirts?
You might have shared this in another video, where did you get the clear thing that you use to install the light? Did that come with the grow light?
It's on the Soltech website. Under accessories.
That’s a sweet shirt!
I attempted to change my monstera to water, the roots turned yellow- and I lost 4 stems - do I cut off all the yellow below the roots?
Can you do a care video on that peperomia in the background?!
I wouldn't dare even try this. You'll have to come round and show me!
OH MY GOSH, ITS GORGEOUS! WHAT FERTALIZER DO YOU USE, TO GET SUCH HUGE LEAVES? PLS TY😊
I just use miracle gro slow release, but it's more about light exposure.
I just don't have space for a Monstera. I wish you would do a year long study of how to take the newly planted pothos like you did a couple of years ago and show how to train it to grow. How many plant starts in the pot, train it up or down (I rather it up)? I have one and it just splays out. I'd like it to be more controlled and attractive.
When you propagate a big monstera, will it keep growing bigger and bigger leaves or will it restart with the baby leaves
Great video, new subscriber. I have an enormous monstera deliciosa that I love! I want to replant into an aquarium as an aquascape or at the very least, propagate some of it. Is this going to put it in shock? If water is constantly aireated will that prevent root rot? Any thoughts or advice?
If you have enough light, a healthy plant, clean tools, and a reasonable roots to foliage ratio it'll be fine. You don't really need a water bubbler.
ok I rescued a monstera from a big box store and it was planted with 3 or 4 plants all facing in on itself. all the arial roots facing out 360. I want to dump it out and separate it and I'm scared. I spent a year basically making a healthier plant that puts out variegated leaves only to murder it by separating it.. yes so it ultimately could grow better. any tips?
It's a monster!
That’s Crazy Big
Thank you so much for this. I just started to parent them recently. I’m looking for big thin plastic pots, just like in this video, but struggled with online sources. All of the pots I found were too thick, which I could not easily cut them in the future if I repot them. Would you be kind enough to share where I can order them? Greatly appreciated!❤
Find a local hydroponics store.
@@KillThisPlant thanks
I'm thinking about doing this with my monstera as well, so very helpful video. Can you explain why it helps to only have two leaves on your top cuttings?
You need a certain amount of roots to support foliage on a cutting. The roots are trying to bring water and nutrients to all of the leaves and stem. The more foliage you have will make it challenging for the plant to root (if the root mass is already small)
Damn. His hair grows fast.
When using a pair of clippers, use not the tip but the base of the blades… leverage.
That Monstera is huge! How long have you been growing this plant?
Not sure. It was from a mid cutting so maybe 2.5 years?
