I like your content, but this idiotic expensive soltec lamp add is just plane dumb.
I like the Soltec Vita bulb, but I really want the downward facing light stand to go along with it. It's a perfect pair Where can I get that exact stand?
@@roncruise4 I got mine at Canadian Tire 😌
I recently graduated from my Horticulture course. All your advice is so legit and on point. You're easily one of my fav indoor plant TH-camrs. Thanks for making all these awesome videos! 🌿
@@cantrips.and.cauldrons thanks that's so kind. Congratulations on finishing your course 🎉
My grandmother passed in May and I was given a plant arrangement from the viewing. It has a Mostera, a peace lily, 2 dracena, ivy, and some jade philodendron. I just watered it for the first time this week! It took THREE MONTHS FOR IT TO DRY OUT! It was so saturated from the flower shop, I just put it in a corner and ignored it until the ivy died lol I'm amazed everything is still alive and happy! I've been preparing myself to disassemble it and the monstera is surprisingly big, I will follow all the tips I've learned from you about potting up my new monster, hopefully he gets big and beautiful like your vine one day ❤ thanks for all the great information!!
Just to clarify, everything has been growing the whole time. The peace lily hadn't gone limp until this week, which is actually what grabbed my attention because I'd grown so used to ignoring it, and the monster has pushed out two new fenestrated leaves since arriving. I don't understand it. Lol 12 hours after watering everything was perky again so the roots are seemingly fine. Shouldn't it all have rotted sitting in moist soil for 3 months???
@@DelightfulDissident sorry for your loss.
I'm happy the roots were in good condition still. It really depends on the soil make up and the roots access to oxygen.

I'm not too mad this was just an ad for lamps. Honest demonstration of a common issue 👍
I screwed up. I had one that was dying, and I saved some pieces of it and threw them in a pot, not paying any attention to what direction the stems were in. It’s alive and growing, but just a bunch of baby leaves. I would never have bought it if I had know it needed so much light, which I do not have. I guess I need more grow lights, I have one good one but there just is not enough space under it for all my plants.
I do hydroponics in lecca.. right now have a Monstera Albo in treefern substrate in my grow tent, pushed out two halfmoon leaves and doing quit well! Lighting in my tent is the right amount and plants are thriving
Lmaoo this intro is so intense😂
so glad you was able to help me and i was able to help me make a very insightful video!
@@kingdr3d thanks! Glad your plant is doing well 😌
You're the GOAT, man. A couple months ago I killed my beautiful adansonii because I didn't know any better and put it in a way too large pot (hadn't found your channel yet, RIP). Cut up its dried up remains and put them into some jars filled with damp sphagnum moss; kept the jars under a cheap grow light. Wanted to experiment if I could revive it.
Now I got a bunch of adansonii babies to start off fresh, and I'm confident that this time they're gonna thrive, thanks to your staightforward and no-bs advice.
Good luck with the cuttings!
I love you and I'm obsessed with this crisp clean comprehensive content.
The inverse square law means that if you double the distance from a light source, the light intensity decreases to a quarter of its original strength. For a collimated light, like a focused grow light, the decrease is much less -- if you double the distance, the intensity might only drop slightly, so you can place your plants further away without losing as much light.
And now I need lights.
After looking at the room several times, my suggestion would be to double up the birds in 1 big pot when the monstera gets really big. Not only will it eventually look like Jurassic park in both corners but the birds grow really well together and will free some space up … for more plants lol. 🙂
I live in Canada facing same Northwest position and they are gigantic and loving it.
I moved my monstera to right next to an east facing window and it is flourishing now. I live in the tropics so I always thought that being next to a window would be too much for it. Apparently not 🤷🏼♀️
trying to find a good vid for tips for my new baby plant i just got so excited, and you're the most tolerable personality :D
Well, I was voted most likely to be tolerable in high school 😄
Am considering grow lights for thr first time as i just bought my first Thai Constellation (and also a separate set up for yesr-rpund herbs and microgreens in my kitchen) Thanks as always!
“Let there be light.” 📖
My monstera(and about 10 other plants) is doing great currently living on my windowed but uninsulated porch, but come winter(zone 5) I think I’m going to have to cover my house in grow lights to account for my lack of good inside windows.
With a light meter you really see how much of a difference a tiny distance closer to the window makes.
In the summer, I have 6 hours of evening sun on my Monstera, still the grow light is on too.
What a lovely plants 🪴
Like it
My friend thank you for good sharing
Have a good relationship
72 bucks for a light bulb is waaaaay out of my price range. Lol, I'm too po (poor) for that. 😅
Nice vidéo, I remember a time there was a book with the light requirements in foot-candle and lux as you mentioned in this video. Does anyone know if that resource is still around ?
Thanks for reminding me, I'll add it to the video description.

@@KillThisPlant very nice , thank you :)
My monstera is in a self watering pot with Lechuza pon under its own grow light and it’s doing great.
My first monstera that I didn’t kill 😂!
I have a Thai constellation and Spider Man on the way.
Love your videos, always a treat
When do you recommend chopping and propping a Monstera?
I live in Thailand and have just gotten a few Monsteras and I see here that they are grown mostly in 100% coconut husk with slow release fertilizer inside. I've planted mine like that. I have a few trimmings and want to see the different results.
Have you tried both methods?
I dont personally have the climate to grow in 100% coconut husk but it is a great inexpensive medium if you have high heat and light.
1095FC is fine at the weaker side for BOP. It’s a good one for Monstera. His grow light is very weak. Soltech’s Vita light bulb’s ppf is only 25.95umol/sec / 20w = 1.28. This tech spec should be sold only for $30 at most including designing fee.
Foot candles! This is my new favourite thing. 😀
I water my.monsteras every 2 weeks so being moist a week is not bad as long as its not cold.
Thanks for info Lee!
Thankyou dude!! Battling with a few of mine at the moment
And maybe take the black curtains off and replace them with sheer or white
@@crxve find kings comment and ask if he is accepting interior design critique 😅
I think he wanted privacy. The same reason why they aren’t open for the purpose of providing light.
I’m finding it harder and harder to convince myself I don’t need a light meter.
What King needs is some redecoration.
Let’s see your home
Another great video ..thanks for the info...I have a question .I have a grow light lamp and it's has the 3 colors red blue and bright clear light...I have it on a 12 hr timer and I have it on the red and blue color lights ...should I have it on them or the clear lights...I heard that the red and blue lights helps the plant or should I have it on the clear lights instead.
The intro 😂
Will know, though the video is more a promotion but there was some tips
i just got my first monstera, and i was wondering if i should invest in a self-watering pot. i also have 60W Sansi grow lights that i use for my carnivorous plants. would that be enough for a 4 inch starter pot?
do you need a grow light in the PNW where the sun disappears for 6 months every winter? just got a monstera and it's doing great so far but I'm worried about the upcoming winter weather where it's overcast for 6 months straight.
No, don't buy growlights (specially if they're sponsored) so you can decorate your basement at the expense of energy usage, you'll be thankful when the bills arrive. Grow what you can, choose local plants or plants that have been proven to be hardy in any environment and use your windows. If you don't have much natural light, there's all sorts of art out there that doesn't require you to increase your expenses for years.
pretty sure there's low-energy grow lights
Try living at a latitude where there's little to no sunlight half the year lol, the plants appreciate some indoor light
thanks for sharing
Hi! Where do you find information on how many lux is needed for certain plants? I would really like to find some comprehensive source
@@Hikarusoul it's in the description. Blog post by Houseplant Journal
Maybe off topic, but have you looked much into the internode spacing on monsteras? I’ve been hoping to achieve a really compact/short internode spacing as my monstera matures. Would you say lighting is a large determining factor in that?
@@Wildmuffin9 only determining factor other than genetics.
💚
Where did you get the hanging planter with holes that behind you?
I built it.
Any tips on bonsai trees? Mine is so finicky
No, but there are lots of great bonsai channels out there.
Are you afraid of becoming "The Monstera Guy?" I love your content, and following your advice, my monstera got it's first inner fenestrations. I don't think it's bad to have a niche, and if it ain't broke don't fix it? Just wondering what your thoughts are, as a fan. Thank you!
@@chandlerbingbong5773 short answer, no, I already am that guy. 😅
Long answer, less than 50% of my videos are specifically about Monstera. It's the most popular houseplant, so those are the most viewed. I am also teaching transferrable skills that work on 90% of commerical houseplants.
As long as my videos help people grow better and kill fewer plants, I'm happy.
@@KillThisPlant Thanks again!
😊
Poor baby...😢
Ha, ha." To die in the next 6 months"
I will literally give you $1 to send me your best monstera
I won’t settle for anything less than $3
@@KillThisPlant 😆
Who is this guy talking about??
why fight the conditions? dont get plants that need that much light. work on the interior design and integrate the plants into the setting.
This idiotic expensive soltec lamp add is just plane dumb, for that price you can buy a cheap light and run it for 10 year for FREE!
Jumpscare on a monstera video ? 😂
Love the drama! Great timing! I bought my 1st Monstera Deliciosa yesterday. 🪴 I'll check the stem position. Thanks for the tip to monitor the wet/dry cycle (even in small pots). I hadn't considered how long the soil stays wet. I just figured if soil was still moist it was good. Are combo light meters, moisture, & ph meters accurate?
I use mine all the time and comparing it to my Ph meter I know that does run true so I assume the light and moisture meters do as well, keep in mind I haven’t professionally tested them though. Hope that helps in case the creator doesn’t respond, no hate it just happens sometimes. 😃
A standalone device will always be more accurate, but they're good to get you in the ball park.
Also, you could spend $400-$1000 on a PAR meter so... you can always upgrade to more accurate instruments forever.
