Oh my God. Best monstera vlog ever! Other youtubers have lenghty but pointless discussions while yours is relevant, straight to the point from the beginning up to the end..no second is wasted. Keep it up!
Most UA-camrs don't touch about what happens to the mother plant which was exactly the reason why I wanted more info on propagation. Now I know I won't ruin mine. Cheers!
This is literally what I was looking for. I’ve been having such a hard time cutting my mother plant because I was afraid there would be no new growth on it. All the other you’ve videos teach you how to propagate it but not what happens after you make the cut. Thanks for posting this. Subscribed
Yes!! I recently devastated a coworker by not warning him I was going to give our office's split leaf philodendron an extreme haircut, and I told him don't worry, it will grow back...! But I wasn't very sure about it lol... This made me feel much better.
@@TechplantChannel Does this cutting style work also with Monstera Variegata Albo? I am so scared to cut if because it was very expensive, but it has only one super long line and I want to make it bushier
Best plant video I've seen in a long time. No waste of time, no stupid bloopers, no "I don't know how to pronounce this", yet, still a warm relaxed and informative video! Great work! Great shots!
Coming back after a month to say that I did the propagation in the water bottle method and the roots are absolutely massive. Thanks so much for a great tutorial 🙂
@@E.P.7131 I’ve done it a few times since I’ve left the comment. I get crazy roots now in just three weeks. I live in Zone 10 and propagate them outdoors.
I had been searching high and low to see what happens to the mother plant when cut. You are the only person who shows this! Really appreciate it! Love your videos :)
thank you very much for showing the whole process, the progress the cuttings/plants make rather than just "how to propagate" and that's it, which can be found everywhere around internet. and you make your videos unique. thank you
Thank you. This video was so direct...I've read SO many different articles & seen several videos,but each have had extra fluff & not shown me exactly what they were talking about as they go, step by step. I feel confident that I know what to do now!
This. THIIIISSSSS is exactly what I've been searching for. Someone who knows what they are doing, why it is done, and how to teach it to others. I've waded through so many videos titled "how to propagate a monstera" and then the video starts and "Hey guys, it's my first time propagating, let's learn together!" 😑
@@TechplantChannel do you have a video how to propagate cut roses and or carnations and other cut flowers. also I keep in water 3 leaves of Monsters kind. I hope they will sprout..
Your guides are simply the best, so many plant youtubers making guides on a day and you actually take the time to film the whole LONG process, that’s dedication. Do you have Instagram?
Yeah, there's nothing worse than someone giving growing and propagation advice like that. And usually you find out they've only had the plant for a few months and have somehow already become an expert 🤦
Great to learn about spagnum moss. I tried to grow some wet sticks in a pot of wet moss that I placed outside in the sun and they started sprouting really quickly. After barely 2 months one was even ready to plant.
One of the best videos with various ways to propagate a monstera! Funny enough, I already propagated mine (the water method) and here I am looking at videos to triple check I did it right. 😂
Wow used many u tubes for my indoor plants all trying to be unique and selling themselves. This young man is great. Not annoying, direct, knowledge fab explanation bang on . Clear and concise with information, timelines and examples. Thanks
Nice complete short coverage of the entire process of propagation. The inclusion of the mother plant's recovery is stellar! I'm new to plants and this well made video gave me tools I now will use on my eight young various plants for my new indoor garden. I did burn this plant via ignorance. I hope to mend my ways. Thank you sir.
I had a monstera that wasn't well lit during this last winter. I have plenty of nodes. Thanks so much for this video. I bought some tomato plants that came in their own pot with a tomato cage around them. I think I'm going to use that pot. Thanks again !!!!!!
I wish we could post freaking pics. I'm also going to try some water beads for the short stalks. I'll hit you up later with that. Ill show the tomato cage too.
It is a good idea to put a ‘sleeve’ of masking tape on one side of the razor blade. You’re less likely to nick yourself. When the unmasked blade gets blunt, just ‘sleeve’ the blunt side with masking tape...and remove the tape from the unused blade. Great video, clear and succinct, well done! Thanks
I've been so anxious to trim my monstera but your video made me so much more confident to do it! I'll definitely get around to it when the weather's a bit better (a bit less warm). Thank you for this video tutorial
Hello I notice that the Sphagnum Moss performed far superior that the water propagation method. How do you manage the moisture level with moss. I'm really curious to try it as it did so well.- Thanks
i put water in the cup, let it soak a bit, pour off any remaining water, then i let it dry out over the course of a few days and when the very top is getting dry i do it all over again
I just got a cutting from my neighbour n came to see how to propagate it .thnq so much for the info.i have put it in water now ,keeping my fingers crossed...wish me luck 🤪
Thank you for the video. I just loved how you showed several different methods and how you showed the progress along the way!! That, to me, was the best part! 👍😊🌱
Was thinking of propagating m.deliciosa and trimming off aerial roots but wasn't confident in doing so (since im newbie). Glad I found your video. It was really helpful.
Thank you, just echoing other comments here but your video was straight to the point with helpful information. Far superior than the 2 videos I endured before finding yours :-)
Awesome! Im always happy to hear that, its like 75% of the reason i started making videos. No one shows what it looks like as time progresses so its hard to know if things are working! Anyways thanks for watching and the kind words!
I had my guy for over a year. Looks so cool in my living room, like a jungle in the corner. So hard to take a blade to em but the time has come. Great vid! Gave me the confidence I needed lol
Thank you @techplant for creating an informative video and sharing your knowledge. Could let us know about your watering routine after transferring the cuttings to soil? Thanks again 👍
I make sure its good and wet when i initially repot, but then i just make sure the soil stays moist for a week or so then after that i got back to a more regular schedule where i wait for the top of the soil to go dry before watering again
I bought a cutting from a website that pretty much said "throw it straight in soil" and while you probably could do that and it would be fine, I have my reservations as I do want to keep taps on it, at least for a few weeks to make sure its growing roots without having to constantly disturb it, so I'll follow your steps here and try to propagate it in water first. Then it should be ready for soil with new fresh roots by the end of the month or early next month. 😄
You're the only one that showed how to propagate properly by soaking the nodes in water/cover in moss fully. I now I see why my pothos and monstera adansonii are slow to produce roots. It's almost a month now 😭 I also want to know if you sell monstera deliciosa? Keep the videos coming
I just used miracle grow potting mix in mine and it's doing great. I occasionally aerate the soil with a chopstick and till up the top layer so it can dry quickly
Im a new subscriber and i really love how you put so much detailed to how you take care of your plants, to filming and how it really just made me feel by simply doing what you are doing, is also possible. Thank you so much!
Great tutorial! My only question would be, what's the best potting mixture for monstera, that doesn't include purchasing several bags of different soils🙈
I myself propagated my Monstera in it's called Natural & Organic Expanding Soil Alternative. Look it up.And it is working. I have a lot of strong roots and 3 10:01 new leaves. The first 2 are heart shaped and #3 is coming in with slits already. Right now it is starting to unfold, I can't wait to see it.I will keep Yall posted.🦋🦋🦋
I keep trying with my Monstera and love hearing all the advice you have for me. So far, it is growing well and I hope I can get a really big one someday.
Hello! I'm new to propagation and I have a couple questions... what are your thoughts on root hormone for cuttings? And secondly, would a really sharp, disinfected pairing knife work well? I don't want to butcher my monsterra, but I don't want to lose a finger in the process either...
How often did you wet yet moss?? When it was completely dry on top?? I am rooting my first albo monstera in moss! Your video inspired me to do it your way. It’s only been 7 days on a heat mat... any advise is greatly appreciated ❤️🍃
i let it do wet and damp cycles if that makes sense. i try not to let it get bone dry, but let it get just a tad bit dry so it can breath, then wet it again. dont keep it constantly soaking wet! Good luck i hope yours does well, make sure it gets good light too!
Took it out of the spagnym and bottom is black so I cut with a razor blade and put in kln root booster and water w lecca.... we are leaving for a week so...., 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@heatherklatt5083 After I struggled with rotten seeds, rotten cuttings, etc I started sterilizing ALL of my media in the microwave. Rooting in water? I boil the water first and I wipe out the container to be used with a sanitizing ratio solution of bleach. Then I clean my scissors or razor with fire, alcohol, or bleach depending on the closest method, and I make a clean cut on the bottom before putting the cutting into the water. For sphagnum moss I put some into a bowl or cup and thoroughly soak it with water. Then I microwave it until it reaches 200*F or more measured with a thermometer. I let it cool and then use it instead of water in the exact same above processes. Soil is the same; put it in a bowl and microwave it until it reaches over 200*F on a thermometer and then allow it to cool before planting your plant or cutting into a freshly sanitized pot. The surface of the moss may get moldy as time goes by and you can treat it by misting it with hydrogen peroxide. Dilute your standard medical grade 3% H2O2 solution with 1 equal part of water so it's a 50/50 mix, and then lightly mist the top of the moss column in the container to kill mold spores that have started growing on the surface. Don't spray too much, but it won't be the end of the world since the dilute H2O2 won't hurt most plants. If you find that your cutting has rot on the end, start over from square one. I've recently been putting cinnamon powder on the cut wound of a cutting with end rot after I've sterilized a blade and cut the end off at a point above the rot where the plant is still nice and healthy. :) Hope this helps.
I am propagating my first one (gift from a friend) I am glad that I watched this bc I was changing the water weekly. And you say just add water so I’m going to try this bc a part of my baby turned black..
@@TechplantChannelHi there the mother plant looks big for the pot, how do we repot it? My plant looks exactly like yours. So many long roots hang out. Thank you for clear instructions
Definitely one of the best plant guides I've found. Well filmed and easy to follow. I have trimmed my monstera, and am growing out the roots in water which is coming along well. However, the leaves are drooping a bit more everyday, and I'm not sure what I could do to 'destress' the plant. Any tips?
is it getting good light? Mine were sitting under strong lights for 15 hours a day. also maybe check your water and makesure there isnt a huge swing in either direction with the PH value
Hello. I checked my stem cutting. And wow. After 7 days! Pure sphagnum moss. Tada! It already has roots. Very healthy and fat! But not that long. Still it's very fast and effective. Guys try the sphagnum moss propagation. Works really really well! Thanks for the tip! Godbless u and stay safe. So happy right now. 😊😊😊😊😁😁😁😂
This was great! I'm going to try it. My mother plant has something going on and I really want to save my monstera through propogation so I hope this works out.
Try putting one of the split leaves philodendrons outside under a tree for the Summer. Doing so will give you a much bushier/compact plant. The one I put outside looks like a shrub ....one happy plant. A little story: When I was a kid, my mother had a split leave growing on a pole in the family room. She would have to cut the top off from time to time because it would hit the ceiling. Before we moved to another state my folks gave the plant to some friends. Several years latter, when we went back to visit we found that they had removed it from the pole and attached it to their staircase. ....The damn thing grew up the staircase to the second floor and across the banister on the second floor landing. It was a bit gangly but was a site to behold.
For me I watch the leaves. when they start drooping i give them a good amount of water. i keep most of my indoor plants on the dryer side because once you over water it seems like it never dries out and then they start dying@
@@TechplantChannel Yes but generally you have to transition water roots by keeping the soil moist, no? Great video by the way. I think I'll be trying Sphagnum for my Albo.
The water should be changed every two to three days for the reason that new water have much more oxygen for the roots. In fact, you can do an experiment where one cutting in the water without changing it and one in the water where you change it every two days, you will see much more roots on the water change and if you plan to grow it in the water permanently, the water should be changed every two to three days. You can also stick the cuttings straight into the soil, I have done it both ways, they are very easy to grow and propagate.
im doing that experiment right now where i changed the water every day and it didn't root, the one i left and never changed rooted crazily, i will make a video about it. I think as long as you have enough surface area the water will dissolve oxygen back into it from the air. I still need to do more tests tho. At a certain point tho when the roots are huge I bet you need to change the water often tho cuz the natural dissolving into the water wont keep up. i gotta test this tho
@@TechplantChannel yes they’re starting to flower I have some really big monstera plants in the garden and would like to propagate some. Can I do that now?
@@TechplantChannel ooh ok, I will try…. 🙈 There’s a lot of plant so if I make a mistake I have more I guess 😅 Thanks for taking the time to answer my question 😊
Love all your videos! Bet you've heard it a million times, but your vids are very detailed and to the point! I am new to moss and would like to try propagating in it, how and how often do i water it? Also, do i have to cover the top of the cup with cling film? (I do that with perlite propagations)
for smaller stuff i might use some cling wrap or if its drying out way too fast but for most things i leave the top uncovered. Usually I pour water into the cup. give it like a min, then pour out the excess water. Then i let it slowly dry over like 3-4 days ( this changes based on your environment) and when its just starting to get dry but still damp, I add water again. I do that so some air can get down in there a bit so it doesn't rot on me. This is my method for monstera and other bigger aroid stuff.
thanks. I thought about the moss method, but naaahh. . .I went the water route. So far so good. Thanks for the short/succinct and informative video. Great job.
I’ve been propagating cuttings with large leaves. (Leaves at widest point are probably about a metre) and every time I tried to propagate, Usually water the aerial roots rotted so good to see I can cut them off! Will try again!!!
Great video! I just re-potted my monstera last week because it was outgrowing its pot similarly to yours, but on a smaller scale. How long have you had that monstera for it to have grown that much?
Oh my God. Best monstera vlog ever! Other youtubers have lenghty but pointless discussions while yours is relevant, straight to the point from the beginning up to the end..no second is wasted.

Took it out of the spagnym and bottom is black so I cut with a razor blade and put in kln root booster and water w lecca.... we are leaving for a week so...., 🙏🏻🙏🏻
So now I have root rot and the arial root is black😭
@@heatherklatt5083 After I struggled with rotten seeds, rotten cuttings, etc I started sterilizing ALL of my media in the microwave. Rooting in water? I boil the water first and I wipe out the container to be used with a sanitizing ratio solution of bleach. Then I clean my scissors or razor with fire, alcohol, or bleach depending on the closest method, and I make a clean cut on the bottom before putting the cutting into the water. For sphagnum moss I put some into a bowl or cup and thoroughly soak it with water. Then I microwave it until it reaches 200*F or more measured with a thermometer. I let it cool and then use it instead of water in the exact same above processes. Soil is the same; put it in a bowl and microwave it until it reaches over 200*F on a thermometer and then allow it to cool before planting your plant or cutting into a freshly sanitized pot. The surface of the moss may get moldy as time goes by and you can treat it by misting it with hydrogen peroxide. Dilute your standard medical grade 3% H2O2 solution with 1 equal part of water so it's a 50/50 mix, and then lightly mist the top of the moss column in the container to kill mold spores that have started growing on the surface. Don't spray too much, but it won't be the end of the world since the dilute H2O2 won't hurt most plants. If you find that your cutting has rot on the end, start over from square one. I've recently been putting cinnamon powder on the cut wound of a cutting with end rot after I've sterilized a blade and cut the end off at a point above the rot where the plant is still nice and healthy. :) Hope this helps.
I love your guide for Monstera. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching
Thank you soooooo much!
You're welcome!
I am propagating my first one (gift from a friend)
I am glad that I watched this bc I was changing the water weekly.
And you say just add water so
I’m going to try this bc a part of my baby turned black..
Hello there! Can you do a video on dividing monstera deliciosas, and when the ideal time to do so in the plant's lifetime would be?
Yes I can
I’ve been scared to try this! But I’m about to give it a go. I too, love spagnum moss for propagating cactus
You can do it
@@TechplantChannelHi there the mother plant looks big for the pot, how do we repot it? My plant looks exactly like yours. So many long roots hang out. Thank you for clear instructions
Definitely one of the best plant guides I've found. Well filmed and easy to follow. I have trimmed my monstera, and am growing out the roots in water which is coming along well. However, the leaves are drooping a bit more everyday, and I'm not sure what I could do to 'destress' the plant. Any tips?
is it getting good light? Mine were sitting under strong lights for 15 hours a day. also maybe check your water and makesure there isnt a huge swing in either direction with the PH value
@@TechplantChannel Thanks! Will do
Great video! I specially liked how you showed them a few weeks later after the cuttings were taken!
Yeah for sure, with all of my videos I try and do progress shots all in one vid
sorry if this question has already been asked. how much light do you give them while rooting? thanks and more power to your channel!
15 hours a day from a 200 watt ( true wattage not advertized wattage ) grow light
Hello. I checked my stem cutting. And wow. After 7 days! Pure sphagnum moss. Tada! It already has roots. Very healthy and fat! But not that long. Still it's very fast and effective. Guys try the sphagnum moss propagation. Works really really well! Thanks for the tip! Godbless u and stay safe. So happy right now. 😊😊😊😊😁😁😁😂
Very good to hear!! Good job!
Wow, this covers so much useful stuff in such a short time.
Glad you think so!
Thanks so much for your video! I just got my first baby Monstera. This was so informative. Learned so much!
Good luck with your monstera!
So happy I discovered your channel. You explain really well, clearly and quick. Love it! 😍
Thanks so much 😊
This was great! I'm going to try it. My mother plant has something going on and I really want to save my monstera through propogation so I hope this works out.
Try putting one of the split leaves philodendrons outside under a tree for the Summer. Doing so will give you a much bushier/compact plant. The one I put outside looks like a shrub ....one happy plant. A little story: When I was a kid, my mother had a split leave growing on a pole in the family room. She would have to cut the top off from time to time because it would hit the ceiling. Before we moved to another state my folks gave the plant to some friends. Several years latter, when we went back to visit we found that they had removed it from the pole and attached it to their staircase. ....The damn thing grew up the staircase to the second floor and across the banister on the second floor landing. It was a bit gangly but was a site to behold.
WOW I bet it was absolutely amazing! Thanks for sharing that!
Pics or it didn't happen
@@E.P.7131 ...What you are used to telling the police is none of my concern. Dishonest people that lie tend to believe that everyone is dishonest.
@@MrKabloona Relax, it's an old internet joke.
Excellent video ! Just need your expertise - while propogating in water, do i have to keep it in under sun or in shady or semi shady area?
the more light the better imo
How often do you water after you plant them? :0 does the soil need to stay moist when transitioning from water propagation?
For me I watch the leaves. when they start drooping i give them a good amount of water. i keep most of my indoor plants on the dryer side because once you over water it seems like it never dries out and then they start dying@
@@TechplantChannel Yes but generally you have to transition water roots by keeping the soil moist, no? Great video by the way. I think I'll be trying Sphagnum for my Albo.
@@earisu yeah for the first week I keep it pretty moist
Great question!
i love these videos SOOOOOO much. please never stop making them
Thank you, Ill keep it up!
The water should be changed every two to three days for the reason that new water have much more oxygen for the roots. In fact, you can do an experiment where one cutting in the water without changing it and one in the water where you change it every two days, you will see much more roots on the water change and if you plan to grow it in the water permanently, the water should be changed every two to three days. You can also stick the cuttings straight into the soil, I have done it both ways, they are very easy to grow and propagate.
im doing that experiment right now where i changed the water every day and it didn't root, the one i left and never changed rooted crazily, i will make a video about it. I think as long as you have enough surface area the water will dissolve oxygen back into it from the air. I still need to do more tests tho. At a certain point tho when the roots are huge I bet you need to change the water often tho cuz the natural dissolving into the water wont keep up. i gotta test this tho
great video and actual footage of the journey! thank you
Thanks for watching!
I’m curious about the sphagnum moss method. Would I have success if I used coco coir instead?
Never tried it but i bet it works pretty similar!
Techplant thank you!
best plant video...i like it...beautiful monstera deliciosa...thank's for sharing video...succes for you friend..
Thank you, you too!
i cannot believe you cut the ariel roots. they do so well in water
yeah some people have good luck, that papery coating on them sometimes gets all rotty for me so i snip em
Hey there
Can you propagate the monstera out of the garden when it has pods?? In Australia and it’s nearly end of summer.
Thanks
like flowers?
@@TechplantChannel yes they’re starting to flower
I have some really big monstera plants in the garden and would like to propagate some. Can I do that now?
@@fabstar1972 they are resilient so it would probably be fine but maybe try pollinating them first and growing the seeds could be fun?
@@TechplantChannel ooh ok, I will try…. 🙈
There’s a lot of plant so if I make a mistake I have more I guess 😅
Thanks for taking the time to answer my question 😊
Love all your videos! Bet you've heard it a million times, but your vids are very detailed and to the point!
I am new to moss and would like to try propagating in it, how and how often do i water it? Also, do i have to cover the top of the cup with cling film? (I do that with perlite propagations)
for smaller stuff i might use some cling wrap or if its drying out way too fast but for most things i leave the top uncovered. Usually I pour water into the cup. give it like a min, then pour out the excess water. Then i let it slowly dry over like 3-4 days ( this changes based on your environment) and when its just starting to get dry but still damp, I add water again. I do that so some air can get down in there a bit so it doesn't rot on me. This is my method for monstera and other bigger aroid stuff.
thanks. I thought about the moss method, but naaahh. . .I went the water route. So far so good. Thanks for the short/succinct and informative video. Great job.
thanks for watching! I hope your propagations go well.
I used perlite before. I like water so you can see the roots grow.
Ive heard perlite works really well too, water is the most fun and you can monitor the growth a lot easier
I’ve been propagating cuttings with large leaves. (Leaves at widest point are probably about a metre) and every time I tried to propagate, Usually water the aerial roots rotted so good to see I can cut them off! Will try again!!!
good luck, yeah that brown layer that gets on them just seems to allow bacteria to start chomping away!
Great video! I just re-potted my monstera last week because it was outgrowing its pot similarly to yours, but on a smaller scale. How long have you had that monstera for it to have grown that much?
Almost exactly 1 year! ua-cam.com/video/Q6-0BHW0JAo/v-deo.html here it is last year
Great video!!! And thanks for doing different methods.
Thanks!
