I have a 10' tall monstera in great health but the bottom 3' of vine is bare. If I chop it and propagate the sections, will anything grow fgrom the bare stem sections even if they have no leaves? Also, will anything grow from the stump left in the pot as it will have no leaves either?
Love your channel, big fan!
@@N0C0MPLY yeah it should grow a new stem
@@SheffieldMadePlants Excellent, thanks for your reply.
The mother single vine stump will be left in a 18" terracotta pot with a nice big rootball or Should I trim the roots and pot it down or would you leave it?
@@N0C0MPLY I’d leave it and be patient
I bought a medium-sized (70 cm) Monstera about a year ago, after a week I changed the pot to a slightly bigger one and I water it about once every 10 days and place it right in front a well-lit window. a year later it took half of my relatively large bedroom and grew up to about 3 meters in height and occupied 6 two-meter large moss poles. one night it flipped itself on me while I was sleeping and took advantage of my unaware presence, it was too heavy for its pot so I changed the pot to an 80cm* 50cm larger pot and balanced the upper leaves by hooks to the ceiling. now it stopped its rampage and grows 5 to 6 leaves every 2 weeks thus focusing on its roots, guess changing the pot wasn't too bad for my safety since the plant is happy and I'm not getting groped by a drooling pervert of a plant while I'm sleeping.
Blimey what a monstera! 6 leaves every 2 weeks? Unheard of around these parts. Do you have tons of natural light?
Wow! Your monstera sounds like it's on steroids! 😄 Incredible ❤ Congrats on super fast growth 👏 😍
Did you name it Seymour? 😂
i need to clarify that this monstera consists of 4 distinct plants and I bought it from our culture lab at the National Institute of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (NIGEB) in Iran so it may have some modification in gibberellin 3beta-hydroxylase gene's promoter but as far as I know, looks like a regular one and yes direct sun light and 20liter of agar enriched water every 10 days @@SheffieldMadePlants
nope, pervy the plant@@gailtalley8037
Not too long ago I bought a Monstera.I have been watching it and wondering why it didn't look right so today I decided to take it out of the pot and examine the roots. What I thought was one plant turned out to be seven plants !I potted them all up in their own pots and now I have quite the collection.Thanks again for another entertaining and informative video.
Nice one 🤲
And for those of us with minimum space, this is an excellent demonstration of how to SLOW DOWN the grow of your monsta. Mine is taking over the living room - so bigger pot it is.
I imagine the guy who made this video is like "wait Im trying to tell people this will speed up growth 3x, you're saying it will slow down growth" lol
I've had to move mine further back from the window, it's become enormous.So much so, that visitors couldn't see the telly. Was going to repot, but think I'll just dress the top of the soil.
This is reverse engineering on another level
I guess I'm not repotting my big monstera this year either... I planned to do it last year, but I "ahem" forgot.
It's very big now so I knew repotting it would be a pain in the butt, so I decided to wait.
It's still growing like crazy, and you just gave me the perfect -excuse- reason to wait with the repotting 😂
Thank you for the video and advice 👍🏻
Have a nice weekend everyone
Haha like it Carsten!
I just now learned that your monstera is named “Monie”, mine is “Monique”! I was clearly meant to be a subscriber 🥰
Love that!
Thank you! You've solved so many questions I've had.
Glad to help!
I put my largest monstera in the biggest pot I can find. Filled the pot with pine bark. I push all the aerial roots into the pot. It sits next to a window and puts out giant leafs. I had to chop all the leafs but the last one because this monstrosity was blocking the window. I don't worry about being with one leaf. It's big enough to keep the plant going. I am waiting for the last aerial root to root into the soil so I chop the top of the plant off and restart it over again. I am looking for weird design where the monstera is going to be suspended in the air by aerial roots and no stem. It's going to look like real monster.
I have a monstera that sits outdoors on a warm, Sicilian patio. I keep it in the shade because in Sicily the sun is so strong you could actually find the pot melted down. So it gets light, but obviously I don't let it get sun burned. I still find brown tips although it gets fertilized regularly. I was getting ready to repot, into a larger pot but then I read your comment. I am now thinking of leaving it in the same size pot but this time I want to fill the pot with perlite and orchid bark. Sgould I add some soil or is the perlite and the bark enough?
@sallomonaco I live in Maryland and I found for my environment the best mix is pine bark and peat moss. It's mostly bark but peat moss is important because it fills the gaps between the bark pieces and retains moisture while staying fluffy. If I use only bark It's going to get really dry when it's dry. I don't think you need perlite if you already have bark. My mix is mostly bark and peat moss and very little soil. Some fertilizer like worm droppings or slow release fertilizer help but I also water with general purpose liquid fertilizer (about 2 tea spoons per gallon of water.) Summer in my area is very humid. I need chunky mix so my plants don't rot. Also in winter when plants are not growing much they may rot because they don't drink much water. So, again I need chunky mix so they don't rot. I don't know what your humidity levels are like but if your mix dry out fast you may have to stick to using some good old soil in your mix together wit the bark so you retain some moisture. Peat moss does retain moisture but if it dries out it needs very good soaking because it becomes water resistant. Another good medium is baked clay balls. I don't think you need clay balls for a large monstera but when mine was small and manageable it was in clay balls for some time. For some plants I use mix of clay balls and soil mix. For Haworthia or similar plants that may rot when it rains a lot I just use clay balls almost entirely. When I repot I just shake of the soil from the roots without trying to take off all of it or break off any roots and plant the Haworthia in the larger pot with clay balls. Some plants I even grow in spaghetti strainer or basket for even better drainage. I also use red volcanic rocks ot bottom of pots to prevent clogging of the drainage holes or put mulch on the bottom of the pot for the same reason. I did buy perlite before but I found it completely unnecessary so I don't buy it anymore. I like spagnum moss but I use it on smaller plants especially when propagating or trying to air layer. It can get expensive if I use it on large pots. On the question should you use bark I can say it may be beneficial but how much really depends on the climate in your area. If you climate is very wet like mine more bark is good. If it's dry a little less. In my case it's about 70 percent bark and 30 percent Miracle-Gro(which has a lot of peat moss in it already so I don't have to mix peat moss with soil because it can get messy if you don't do it outside in your yard. I am sorry the answer was so long but the short one wouldn't do. I hope it is helpful 🙂
Please post what it looks like on line somewhere! I would totally do sobering like that!
Please post what this will look like when you finish! That totally sounds like something I would create!
Is this for me or the other guy?
Costa del Sheffield 😂❤ I love your sense of humor 🙏🏼 thank you for the tips
Cheers!
this is what my mom always told me, but I like big pots. So I'll wait a good while until the roots fully takeover its massive pot
New to indoor gardening and really enjoying your videos, thank you
I grabbed myself a moisture meter 👍
Great stuff 👍
Love the video. Planned on trying one of these and was glad to see this video pop up. You saved me hours of trying to figure out what went wrong.
Thanks so much! I just got a monstera from the hail damage sale at the shop. I was about to put it in a huge pot to give it some room to get big.
Glad I could help!
I live in Seattle and the sun also comes out for 3 hours each summer! So I can have my monstera in the sun yay!
I live in Australia, the sun can be very harsh here at times and I see some Monsteras here in full sun thriving, but those are probably quite used to it.
My monstera only gave me one new leaf in the past year. He's not growing any new roots either. I just downsized the pot, mixed in some orchid bark to the soil because it was way too dense and moved it into the sun porch. We'll see what happens!
Sounds like you did the right things
Thank you. I always learn something new from your videos
My pleasure!
The Sheffield Riviera is a wild place
Not everyone's favourite summer destination 😅
Thanks you for sharing lovely plants collection beautiful
You bet!
My monstera of nearly 8 years wasn’t pushing any new leaves and the leaves were turning yellow. I cut her roots to half and gave it new soil. Did some pruning as well. Fingers crossed I didn’t kill it 😅
🤞
I love my Monsteras, they're super low maintenance but my cat has learned that she can get my attention by clawing at the leaves (she never chews them so I'm not worried about that) so the nicest leaves don't last very long lol.
Damn cat! 😅
Your recommendation for more light has helped my 2 year old monstera, i swaped out a medium Sansi bulb fpr the biggest one and she's putting out leaves with holes now! Cant wait for summer to see how many holes i can get
Awesome
Ramen noodles 😂…root party 😂🎉 love it thank you 🪴
😁
yes it’s true. i have 2 monstera, monstera king i put in larger pot and still stuck 3 leaves, but my deliciosa i put into smaller pot than king now already have 6 leaves
Thanks for sharing
Love your videos you have help a lot, ❤
Thanks!
I dont have this plant because I don't have the room for it. But ill listen anyway ❤😊
At 10:19 am I heard raining
Yesterday while moving my big monstera one of the stems snapped 😢😢so guess l will be putting them in 2 smaller pots 🤞🤞thanks for another great video ❤
Good luck!
Tnx bro 😊
Correct me if I'm wrong but I can't find a single video of yours mentioning why monsteras cry. Mines just started....I've put it down to it being repotted and moved??? Anything to worry about?? Thanks...love the channel
Guttation is fine so don’t fret
Mine started growing roots out of bowl. Still freaks me out.
Hello Sheffield!
Que opinas del agua de secadora ( tumble dry) para regar?
It should be ok. Not certain what’s in it though
Gonna let you know before it’s too late, moss pole plants shouldn’t be potted in your average soil mix. At the rate moss poles dry out, the soil will always stay wet due to you always watering the moss pole. The roots will grow in the moss pole and you need to keep the moss pole moist or else the roots in the moss will die. All this watering will lead to the soil mix staying wet while the pole dries out. What I do is create a very chunky mix. 1 part large perlite, 1 part bark, 2/3 part coco chips. The coco chips and bark are the only things retaining water which means the soil will drain freely so you can water the moss pole without worrying about the soil getting too wet. I hope this makes sense. It was difficult to word.
Good shout thanks 👍
@@SheffieldMadePlants that was a fast reply :o
What happens if you cut the zz plant potato in half? 🤔😳 Maybe an idea for a video?
Play stems are turning brown does that mean my plants have a disease is it a remedy for I need some help
Could be a disease. Are they soft? Might need to cut back and treat with a fungicide
My monstera got bad root rot. I cleaned it up but popped it in a pot too big (I determined after watching this video). Help! What should I do now? The roots are scant. Should I try to grow more roots in a perlite mix or just move to a smaller pot🤦🏻♀️🙄🤷🏻♀️😔 thank you!
I’d move to a smaller pot. Should be fine 🤞
Why would you want this to grow faster! These plants are out of control. I love them but I am running out of space.
Question: do you water your moss pole?
Yeah these days I hose the whole thing outside
My olive tree hasn’t grown in about 8 months but Iv re potted it a few times moving it around the garden do you think it’s gone into a dormant shock?
Might need time to settle down. Is it healthy otherwise?
@@SheffieldMadePlants that’s what I was thinking thanks
Haha my Monstera has been right by my sw facing window all of 2023 and only in the very hottest days have the leaves shown any burns. I look at mine from the back 😆, it blazed by my neighbours Monstera that's way older and stands about 1,5 meters from her sw facing window. It hasn't been growing neatly against the bamboo that supports it, so I use rope on 2 points. It is still in pure soil, beginner mistake. Will check if replacing it for aroid mix will enough for now or if it needs a bigger pot after about a year in this one
Should make a difference
Haha dueling monsteras staring at each other out the windows 😂
Just bought myself a variegata and I'm curious how it'll go. I couldn't make the pot too snug because the roots were strong and all over the place, and I didn't want to break them.
Fair enough and good luck!
My Monstera has the same name. 😊
👌
?Rich, would this work 4 a rhaphidophora tetrasperma too??
Never had that plant so not sure
How do you really feel about moss feel I’m not convinced of 😢
I don’t use it much. It dries out quickly and seems to attract gnats
Do you have a video of watering all your house plants?
I’ve got one coming soon
@@SheffieldMadePlants cheers mate🤙🏼did I just give you that idea ;) haha. I'll keep a look out for it, I would like to see what you're routine is. I spray mine daily with water aswell and maybe once every 2 weeks or when soil is dry I water it properly in the shower to get them drenched. They all seem to he doing lovely. Other than my coconut plant 1 of leaves is dying but other leafs looking great. Love you're channel man im new to all this 1 year in
@@RyanBamf mine is very simple. I bottom water when the soil is dry. Roughly every week or so. No misting
Thank you Mister Shef' : )
You bet!
First :) Happy planting
I repot monstera when they start to tip the pot 🤣
Nice approach 😁
@@SheffieldMadePlants I mean it works 🤷🏼♀️ though I'm now in like a teen inch pot so when this BEEP decides to tip I'm just getting it a cement boot to hold it down 🤣🤣 no more upsizing!
Mr Sheffield, do you have to order the grow lights in dollars 🤔
Once you get to checkout I believe it translates to local currency
My Monstera (her name is Mona) still puts out lots of leaves but the older she gets they're just getting smaller and smaller, and many of the new leaves don't have any fenestrations. How can I help her to produce nice big holey leaves again?
More light sounds like
@@bassekaman8315 I don't think it could be that as my flat is south-facing with floor to ceiling windows and it gets good light the entire day (as much as is possible for the UK anyway lol)
How near is it to the window? How are the roots looking?
@@SheffieldMadePlants about 2 metres from the window where she gets good light. She used to be right next to it but was getting a bit crispy so I moved her a bit further away. Her roots look fine I think! I repotted her about 6 months ago because of this small leaf issue to see if that would help but it hasn't :(
@@itsi3187 i can only think it can be light. 2 meters from a window can make a surprising difference. How much of the sky can it see?
I just made my monstera lose it's only big and fenestrated leaf, it's all yellow and black now. Because it the soil seemed very dry and the leaves were drooping. Ironically as the big leaf died, the rest of the plant kept aggressively pushing small new leaves. And it's still drooping and a couple of older small leaves also browned. It's a truly enigmatic schrödinger's monstera who doesn't know what it wants. Ironically the monstera is also getting whole 500 lux of daylight for like 12 hours a day now that winter has quickly passed, no longer darkness. I know it's not +10 000 lux that people say plants want from "real daylight", well that's not what we have to offer here. I think the monstera has been pretty happy living in its spot, just not filling the room with growth.
Anyway nice to have tips, even though I won't be following them, I guess I just wanted to share the fascinating lives of my children and their oddities.
Sorry to hear about the demise of your Monstera
Could a leca pole work?
I've not tried. I'd wonder how you'd keep the leca moist. It doesn't stay wet for long
These b roll shots have me dead😂
Will moss poles attract fungus gnats?
Yes most likely
@@SheffieldMadePlants 😟
Thanks
I have 11 monstera plants some in water and the rest in soil, 9 small and 2 bigger ones that are starting to give me fenestrations but it will be a long time before they are anything like Mr Sheffields plant 😢
No rush 😁
Surely if it takes a year to grow massive roots the year after youll get bigger leaves
We want big leaves now 😅
Do u or anyone else have experience with biochar? 👀
Not me
Noooo.ive just repotted my large cheese plant this afternoon. It was massively root bound. .
It’ll be fine
Literally just repotted my Thai constellation it was very root bound I'm hoping it will be ok
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
🦟🦟🦟Everyone have your racket gnat zappers on now!!! Set them near your plants INDOORS! It will eradicate your fungus gnats! I have 3 rackets! Only $10-15 each.
Algorithm God. 😂👌
I wish 😂
How do you know your Monstera is a He?
I’m his father
