I'm glad you're back! I really appreciate this video. An idea I had while watching, someone suggested getting a glass jar or vase filled with water. Then take the areal roots putting them into the water. I tried it with a nonvarigated monster and the roots in water started to grow and push out secondary roots of their own.
Yes! I guess that’s technically air layering propagation… but in water???? So maybe it’s called water layering??? Haha 🤷🏻♂️ But yes I imagine the aerial roots would grow much quicker in the water versus the sphagnum moss that people usually use. 😊
@@SuchPlants exactly. If you should decide not to cut but just place in water it's a way for the areal roots to be contained and gain some additional water/nutrients.
Welcome back! Sorry you got sick but glad you are doing better. Sadly, we all get hung up with life things. I wish it was all fun and plants all the time. Nice update and as always looking forward to the next one.
Ron, watching this makes me want a Monstera Albo, too, but I am self battling if the $$$ price is worth it. My trick for fungus *pesty* gnats is I sprinkle powdered cinnamon to the top soil, and it always works. Cheers!
Your Albos are stunning! My only advise is….you shouldn’t re-use the left over water because that’s how you could transfer the fungus knats to your other plants. personally I wouldn’t do that if your having a pest issue
Would love another update on your Albo’s when you’re posting again! ❤
Great show, thanks for including your dog.
Well, I just want to say I'm overjoyed your back. Looking forward to your next vidoe.🌺🌵🪴🌿🪴🐾

Good point! I was thinking the mosquito bit tea wouldn’t go to waste if I reused it 😆
Not just fungus gnats but it also concentrates salts that way.
Did you oropergate right into soil? or water? I have a Monstera Aurea and would love to know….thank you! your plants are gorgeous!
There is a video on my channel of the 2 cuttings going into soil after air layering. The other two went straight into water.
@@SuchPlants thank you! I know I saw them a while ago, but will rewatch again!
Have you tried adding extra perlite so the soil can dry a bit faster ?
Yes there is a mix of extra perlite, coco husk, and pumice so I know it’s chunky and airy.
My solution for fungus gnats? I've just accepted it tbh 😭
cute nigga
