After cutting up my Thai, top cutting rooting well in water., mid cut is slow, bottom is finally growing new roots and a growth point as well! Now I have issues with my albo's. I have them in glass in leca also as that's how they were established from seller I got them from.. but sadly got root rot and I keep having to cut back the roots. So I just decided to just throw them back into water for a couple weeks and then put them into a self watering pot. I have better luck with that than glass lol. I hope your thai doesn't give you issues after this 😅
Yes PERLITE is where it’s at!!! I tried rooting an exotica in water for months!!! Within 2 weeks of doing perlite I had beautiful roots!! So YAY PERLITE!!!
@@wildfern yup yup!! I actually don’t mind the algae.. I live in the desert 🏜.. so it makes feel like it’s working 🤷♀️… idk if that’s true but.. maybe 🤔
saw this “hack” on tiktok where you can essentially stain glass using food coloring + mod podge. might be able to help with the algae issue! sending you good vibes! 🖤
I find that some of my monstera rot soooooo easily if I let them dry out and then give them a good water. Glad your beautiful TC is doing better! Fingers crossed she behaves this time. 💚
Thai constellations are actually not prone to rot as much as people think. The main issue is light, they really thrive in direct light which you cant get from leds. My thai thrives in my homes in leca with humidity thats usually in 40-50 facing a southwest window that gets blasted with the sun. The leaves it had were the size similar to the one you have and in 7 months time, its now pushing fully fenestrated leaves on track to push out mature leaves with secindary fenestrstions
If it rots again leave it in water and get a cool fish bowl and put some fake logs in the bottom and just enjoy. There are monsteras that have lived for years in just water! And they are beautiful
Thank you for the update Fern!! Your Thai Journey has given me so much hope and comfort since mine just rotted on me TT…🤣 Sending you love and good vibes~💚💚💚🪴🪴🪴
oh oh i hope you can save her! 🥺 my thumbs / fingers are crossed... 🤞🏻 btw. thanks for your videos! because of you i started to make videos now.. you give me so much motivation 🪴🥰
Hey Fern Honestly you really have such beautiful plants. The Thai Constellation OMG 😱 it is so beautiful. I live in the Uk so it never stops raining ☔️ even in the summer. ☹️ I never think to collect the rain water either. lol 😂 I must start doing this too. Aww she looks so cute in the glass vase. I hope fingers crossed 🤞🏻 that she does better for you this time around. Please keep us all updated to how she fairs. Many thanks for sharing. Xx
Thank you Tracy!! So far so good :) I collected a bit of rain water and gave it to one of my begonias, going to try to stay on top of collecting it this winter haha
Perlite is the way to go. I've used it in place of leca even for semi hydro, not just propagating. I still prefer to have my plants in soil in the end.
Hi Fren I collect rainwater also but when it’s drizzling and I only get like a half a cup, so annoying 🤣 it’s March 13, 2023 I have a Thiacancellation she’s pushing out a fourth leaf but she’s only a baby she’s about maybe four months old and this is our second leaf so I’m watching all videos on how to maintain her and get her big and see what is the best growing medium for her she is in moss right now. Thank you for the video.💚🍀nyc👒🧤🇹🇹
That plant is so beautiful it doesnt look real I would love to have one but thats just not in the cards for me I can enjoy watching yours grow . I cant wait to see how big shes going to get.
Never say never I never thought I could have one either but now I own 2 and a albo , Sending some planty luck your way that one pops into your life 😁👍💚🌱🌿
Shes looking lovely Fern good on you for bringing her back from rot 👍😁 I have 2 Thai's too I find them easier than my Albo shes a Diva big time but my Thai's were rooted in sphagnum & leca for one and sphagnum and perlite for the other unfortunately one fell 🙈😬 so its banged up atm and I'm heartbroken but eventually it will be ok next is to survive a move in two weeks fingers crossed I have more plant stuff to move than house stuff ha ha !! Have a great week chicky give Olive some puppy love shes so precious !!
Hey you!!! :) how amazinggggggg is this plant!!! i soooo love it and still haven't got one...mieh :"( i soooo enjoy your videos it's so relaxing,you're doing it in a so calming and cute manner
Wow wow wow, I'll soon need to up pot my baby Thai which only has 3 leaves 🥰 rn. Also, love the song at the end of your vids and today was the most I've heard, yay!
Dont feel too bad I'm on the west coast too and always forget to collect rain water and part way through watering I'll be like " ok really REALLLY?? Did I forget again!?!? " 😂😂
Do you ever use micro leca? I find the tiny pieces hold my plants in place way better than the standard size. It’s especially helpful in smaller vessels or where you really need it to fill the gaps around roots and things.
Mine rotted and I only have one leaf now. I got it when it had two leaves and she’s not doing so well. Just trying to re root her and then will try her in leca so scared I will lose her, she’s my prettiest plant.
Goodluck on your baby. Hope she gives you a break this time. Is the thai constellation a slow-grower? I might try leca again for my plants that need to root. Mosquitoes are my problem. They still find their way into containers even when I cover the top with cling wrap.
Hello, I've watched two videos on your monstera Thai constellation plant, (thumbs up on both). My concern and question is, have you found that you are burying them too deep? Your aerial roots look like they're buried and I remember seeing a video on monstera problems and one of them were definitely not to put the aerial root in water. Just wondering, I'm no expert, just have done lots of research in hopes not to kill a second monstera.
Hey! Thanks for the question. Aerial roots are totally fine to be potted up, in fact it's often encouraged because they will branch out into secondary roots and bring up more nutrients to the plant. Some of the aerial roots are in the pot for my Monstera albo's too are they are very happy. Ps a happy update that my thai is now doing really well and has two new leaves 🥰 Thank you for watching!
I am about to prop a cutting in perlite for the first time. Any advice? I usually change the water everyday on water cuttings but I notice you don't change water on perlite? send help :)
It should bounce back! One thing I've learned is that yes, they are prone to rot, but they are also very tough plants. Mine has come back from imminent death several times now lol.
I usually just keep a small amount in the bottom of the cup. I have a whole video about rooting in perlite on my channel if you're looking for more info :)
No time to experiment??? Yes there is , you should have experimented on the not so good roots and took the better root system and tried a different method instead of setting your self back up to root rot …. You already proved your system does not work for you and gone another route to figure out how to prevent past mistake… sorry to be so cruel but hearing it come from another not so good at plants like myself… sorry
Love the LECALIFE 😍✨, I have been using LECA since 2018 and I just love soilfree and messyfree, gnatsfree… I’m not a messy soil type of guy so.. and they grow faster so…😋👽🪴

Yes the plant in perlite in a cup in a sealed plastic bag in good light is my fail proof method.
saw this “hack” on tiktok where you can essentially stain glass using food coloring + mod podge. might be able to help with the algae issue! sending you good vibes! 🖤
Ooo this sounds cool, I need to look into it!
Wrap the glass in some old scarves or scrap fabric! Stops the light from getting to it and is easily removed for maintenance =)
I find that some of my monstera rot soooooo easily if I let them dry out and then give them a good water.
Glad your beautiful TC is doing better! Fingers crossed she behaves this time. 💚
Yaya so happy to see you.thanks for the video I'm working with a 2leaf cutting also send positive vibes
enjoyyyyy 🪴
I hope this time is the charm!!! She looks so gorgeous in her new home!
just watching this video dreaming of the day i have a thai constellation to rot of my own

Most of my plants are in leca and I love my pots with water indicators! They are a life saver! The glass vase definitely looks prettier though 😍
I’m so happy your Monstera Constellation is doing so well! 💜🪴🤗
me toooo - thank you 🥰
Well I feel like the upside to this is all the experience you’re getting and this will help the plants you have in the future 🙂
I thought that monstera should have a wet/dry cycle!
To help with placing the leca, you could use a chop stick or skewer!😉
Hey Fern 👋!Could you please make an in depth guide for using Leca? Love your videos 🍀💚
I love that I have learned so much through watching you, and your channel. My plants thank you 🪴
If it rots again leave it in water and get a cool fish bowl and put some fake logs in the bottom and just enjoy. There are monsteras that have lived for years in just water! And they are beautiful
If I was you I would drill a hole 1/3, helps a LOT, that decrease algae and a bunch of more benefits.. all my transparent containers have been drill✨
So glad she’s doing better! Those roots look really good for 3 months
not bad eh!!
She looks beautiful 😍❤️! Hopefully, this will be the ticket!🤞🤞🤞🤩.
Thank you for the update Fern!! Your Thai Journey has given me so much hope and comfort since mine just rotted on me TT…🤣 Sending you love and good vibes~💚💚💚🪴🪴🪴
Maybe you can put it in a decorative basket? That way the sun won't hit it directly and you can still lift it out to check the roots!
Love this plant!
I was literally just watching a really old Thai constellation video😅 so invested in this plant!
Missed them. Stopped ill be back after I watch this play list
She doesn’t give u a break lol 😂 she looks so pretty freshly potted! 😍
oh oh i hope you can save her! 🥺 my thumbs / fingers are crossed... 🤞🏻 btw. thanks for your videos! because of you i started to make videos now.. you give me so much motivation 🪴🥰

She’s got a great start with those roots. Hoping it’s a good turn out. 🤗
To cover the glass container you can get removable contact paper it’s cheap and can be pulled off and changed anytime you want to do it.
oh thanks so much for this great idea!
@@wildfern your welcome.
Perlite is the way to go. I've used it in place of leca even for semi hydro, not just propagating. I still prefer to have my plants in soil in the end.
I think overall I prefer soil most, too! And yes perlite is so fantastic!

Contact paper can leave nasty everywhere. You can pick up removable vinyl Amazon, Walmart or micheals has it. I find it comes off the glass better
And I'm in sask so I know it's easy to find in canada
amazing thank you!! I will look for some
Good luck with the Thai!
🤞
You is the best friends🇲🇨
Much better 🙂
Activated charcoal would be good to mix with the leca to help prevent algae. 🙂🪴♥️
She liiiiives! You are a plant ressurectionist for sure
I tryyyy 😃😃
It looks good. Really good.
that plant is so beautiful I feel it might be worth the struggle 😅
I have two Thais, one is in orchid mix and the other in sphagnum moss. They have been doing great. Albo for me is the worst and I rot every one.
Those are crazy roots!!!
Your lipstick shade n that make up look 😍😍😍😍... Lots of love from india
thank you so much!!

Hi,, morning,,...🤗🤗 beautiful is monstera thai, 👍👍😘😘😘
Do you ever use micro leca? I find the tiny pieces hold my plants in place way better than the standard size. It’s especially helpful in smaller vessels or where you really need it to fill the gaps around roots and things.
Micro leca? Is this expensive? Where does me go buy?!?! Lok
I haven't used it, but it sounds like it would be really useful!
Hey Greta ✌🏼🥰
I’m hoping the best for you!! It’d be cool to wrap some jute rope around the vessel to keep light out! Maybe some hot glue action?
Ahhhh love this idea too!! thank you!
Or a nice basket
Mine rotted and I only have one leaf now. I got it when it had two leaves and she’s not doing so well. Just trying to re root her and then will try her in leca so scared I will lose her, she’s my prettiest plant.
I need a update on this
Goodluck on your baby. Hope she gives you a break this time. Is the thai constellation a slow-grower? I might try leca again for my plants that need to root. Mosquitoes are my problem. They still find their way into containers even when I cover the top with cling wrap.
yes soooo slow lol!
Good job. Like the color of that leca. Have you ever attempted to move a leca plant to soil? Want to try it but would be horrified if my plant died. 🤓
I have not tried that, I would be nervous too lol!
Are we getting a video about your second ikea cabinet? 🤩😍
absolutely :)
The Thai Constellation is really high on my wish list, but I've seen so many people having problems with lately...
yeah they can be quite the trouble makers 😅
I don't have an algae issue with my big glass containers.

prob should clean the black off the one, i tried leca but didnt like it
Were you giving them plant food (fertilizer) while propagating in water and perlite?
And are you going to add fertilizer in leca when you water?
I was just using superthrive. And yes, with LECA I use the general hydroponics fertilizer :)
🤞
What about all the black on the top of the water roots?
Just put it in m airy aeroid potting mix simple
I am about to prop a cutting in perlite for the first time. Any advice? I usually change the water everyday on water cuttings but I notice you don't change water on perlite? send help :)
No advice for perlite. Just wondering why you change it every day. I personally change it only every 2-3 weeks and nothing ever went wrong.
Yeah no need to change water every day! I usually never change it haha. Just if it gets dirty somehow.
I don't change it, just top it up when it needs it. I have a whole video about propagating in perlite on my channel if you are interested 😃
@@wildfern thank you!! I actually ended up finding that video haha you're great
Question,do you keep the perlite constantly wet or do you let it dry out some
I always keep a bit of water in the bottom of the vessel :)
Mine is also recovering😢 it now has one single 2 cm root. Im very scared
It should bounce back! One thing I've learned is that yes, they are prone to rot, but they are also very tough plants. Mine has come back from imminent death several times now lol.
@@wildfern this is true JAJA i've been here the whole time seeing the whole thing:) I hope mine is tough like yours:) thanks😊☀️
how much water should you put in the perlite to root cuttings?
I usually just keep a small amount in the bottom of the cup. I have a whole video about rooting in perlite on my channel if you're looking for more info :)
💚
💚💚
У меня такая же сага с альбой
Just curious, is algae pronounced like that everywhere? I feel like I always thought it was al-gee 😂 but I’m not sure
No it's not, but I'm in Canada and that's how I've always said it lol.
You should have put a zombie costume on this Thai 😂😂
💚🌱
Wait i have a question why dont you just keep it in water lol??
I thought about it! I have never grown anything completely hydroponically, so I was hesitant...
That's a different color leca. What brand is that?
Brockytony - I haven't had great luck with it 😅
No time to experiment??? Yes there is , you should have experimented on the not so good roots and took the better root system and tried a different method instead of setting your self back up to root rot ….
