I don't even have a monstera, nor do I want one, and still I am watching this video 🤣
weirdo
Yup, that's me! @@abubakrpenfound406
You should totally grab one, they are super gorgeous and easy to care for and cheap as hell
I would like one, once I'm brave enough. 😅 This plant looks intimidating.
lol I've got one, and I dislike it. And it doesn't like me either
Thanks for everything, Mr. Sheffield.
Finally bought my moisture meter from your shop. Happier, healthier plants ahead!!!
Enjoy!
I like to put pothose cuttings that have been in water for a bit and have some roots into whatever else im trying to propogate in water. They put off rooting hormones that will speed up other cuttings rooting. I got my monstera to start making new roots within a week.
Forget the plant!! I’m liking the snowfall in the background!!!!!😜
😂
Pro tip: I use any pothos cuttings and add them with my propogations to help root growth. It's helped with my peperomias and zz raven grow roots faster 🙂
Could you explain further? Do you just grow them together in the same pot in water, etc? How does it help? Thank you so much for the tip!
@@StitchinTimeTB exactly right! So I let my cuttings callus for a few hours then I add either neon pothos, devils Ivy, or what ever I have propogate in a jar of water together. I read/saw a yt video that pothos release a hormone that increases root growth. I tried it and haven't looked back 🙂
I just commented the same thing before I started to read the other comments. Pothos cuttings (that have developed roots in water) really do help!! My monstera was starting to push out roots in a week!
Once I beheaded an Adansonii and she started new stems from 3-4 nodes below the cut, like from all of them at once, that was fun :) every time you cut monsteras they're like: challenge accepted :D thanks for the great video as always
Thanks for watching 😁
I really want one of these. Thanks for the tips!
Thanks! I've been wanting to do this but wasn't exactly sure how. Great timing!
Glad I could help!
Thanks for making this video!
My pleasure 😊
My monstera was on his last legs, he was a gift from my sisters. I was down to two weak leaves. I’m about two weeks into propagating and we already have a new leaf! Haven’t had one in about 7 months!!!! One of the aerial roots is growing like a weed!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
You bet!
Love this! Could you do a similar video for the philodendron birkin? Pretty please? 😊
I really appreciate how clearly you explain and SHOW every step!
Thank you so much for all your help!
You bet!
I got to keep it alive first before I start chopping it but good advice thanks
Informative video but maybe you should do a video on moss poles because the support you showed isn't a moss pole and definitely is not the best support if you want aerial root growth. Try watching The Sydney Plant Guy on UA-cam. So informative on climbers. 🙂
This is the second time I'm watching this video but not fully. I already performed the cuttings and I understood you should keep them out to dry and heal for 24 hours to prevent the area from bacteria.
😯 SNOW 😯 it's snowing ☃️ it's so beautiful ❄️ I've only ever seen snow fall once before - I was completely distracted 😅
😁
It wouldn't bother me now if it snowed because it's getting warmer by the day! ❤😊
Hello Mr Sheffield. I know I have hounded many times about pafcal chips as a growing medium, but give it a try. Once some roots are formed I pot it up in pafcal chips, use hydroponic nutrient solution to water it, and the f**ker just sprout inches of roots per week (I used a clear pot so I can see). Within a month the small pot is pot bound. I would love for you to try it out and do a video on it too. 🙏
Hi, I've done air layering with 100% success. I used plastic cups filled with spagnum moss. I cut the stem few days before I plant the cuttings. They are being held in place by velcro. I remove the spagnum moss from the roots but not completely. Just shake off the excess. That way I am not disturbing the roots. Than stick the new plants on some kind of pole and that's it.
Sounds great!
Remember when Monstera was called the Fruit Salad plant, due to the fruit it produces?
❤❤❤thanks sweetie
You bet!
My monstera is my favorite and best looking plant, despite having only a few fenestrated leaves. I’m scared, Mr Sheffield! So scared to prune it and make my hydro monstera. 😩 Please wish me Godspeed. 😉 Thanks for your great videos and advice!
Good luck!
Damn I wish this had been posted 2 days ago when I propagated my monstera 😅 but it looks like I did well, directly into soil, fingers crossed
I have a monstera plant with more than one growth, not necessarily multiple plants in a pot, it's just simply having a busy one stem with more growths, so it looks like I have more individual plants in one pot.
Nice one again. Thanks. Do you reckon the adansonii will work in the same way? It would be the next one due.
3-4 weeks for root development is not that long. I just succeeded after several tries for the first time to have a Crassula (jade plan) leaf broken off to take roots in a shot glass half full of water with cling film over the glass and no changing of anything. It took three months! Tiny leaves and very fine roots are developing now from the little stem of the leaf. I do similar experiments with all of my plants now to see what is working.
Yes similar thing for Adansonii. Probably easier plant to propagate
Want to keep the rooting water fresh? Put an aquarium air stone in there. Keeps it oxygenated, and prevents rot. In my experience, monstera is not bothered by algae on the roots. I have one that has a thick coat of blackbeard algae on its roots for a couple years now.
Thanks for the tip
I have waited to pot my cutting in soil and it has a ton of roots now… Hope that won’t be a problem 🙃
A nice problem to have
another way instead of changing water in cuttings is to use a water sprayer, set to solid stream not mist, to _inject_ fresh water and air bubbles into the water.. that way it stirs it up a little and fresh oxygen gets to the roots.. I only change it when it gets really dirty but by that time I take them out in the dirt anyway.. somehow I dont get algae in pure water, only when I use perlite though, funny enough 😄
Thanks for the tip
Hi, thanks for this informative video. So if I get a top cutting with a huge leaf with inner fenestrations, will the next leaves come out as big? I've wondered about this for a while!
It should come out in a similar fashion
@@SheffieldMadePlants Thank you so much!
I don’t change mine. Unless like you said, it’s gross lol
Also I prop in water as I use Leca ❤. I have a decent size Thai con from peat moss in water and Leca soon with GT CCS :)
I need some hydroponic fertiliser but I can’t find focus brand on Amazon and I don’t know which other to use
That's the only one i've used
Any thoughts on rooting monstera before chopping? Like with those plastic covers or cling wrap and media?
Not tried it but I’ve heard good things
will a monstera still grow if the stem i cut has no pre existing leaf but only a node and a bud?
Yeah it should do
How do you feel about propagating in pon?
Should be okay
How many watts is the bulb that you keep on for 12 hours?
The big one is 36w
Today I learned Fairy liquid is the Dawn of the English world lol.
Indeed 😂
Pretty disturbing how dish soap is harvested from fairies.
English world?
can you do one of these on dieffenbachia... I love my compacta and panther but I can't seem to keep them happy. I moved them to the windowsill and the panther seems to love it but the compacta is like naa. It doesn't matter where I move her she's just like no. I water only when dry, I feed them monthly, keep them under lights for 12h and 12 hours is almost total darkness, Just checked the roots last week and they're small but clean... huh How can I improve the root system?
Try it under a grow light if you have
@SheffieldMadePlants all winter, under grow lights. I moved them to the window when we started getting 10 hours of sun a day, and it wasn't so cold out. Oh well, I'll have to do a little more research about it.
I have a big Monstera and hope you can help me with a question.
Ok, it's four, actually, which were sold in one pot. I planted them into a bigger pot already, and they are thriving. Big, lush leaves, more and more fenestration, not a single brown tip. But they are most likely will outgrow the pot this summer, and I am planning ahead to repot them. I don't want to make cuttings, just separate the plants (maybe put two in one pot, so I have two pots in the end). I also want to make a moss pole for them.
My question is: Can I put the long aerial roots that I have directed into the soil until now into the moss of a moss pole? Or will that cause the roots to rot because the part of them that's not in the soil is used to be dry in the air instead of being wrapped in moist moss?
Putting aerial roots into the soil is better as it gives the plant more stability. There are smaller ones that will latch onto the support.
The roots should be fine. You should check out SydneyPlantGuy, he specialises in mosspoles. As far as I know, these roots will develop stronger subroots, and your plants will grow even healthier :)
@@MoralistaDefinitivoAh, thanks! I didn't know there is a difference since my monstera(s) only produce one root at each node, which I always directed into the soil.
@@jaysarma00I found his videos; they are actually the reason why I do want to make a moss pole :)
I will watch a few more videos of him now. Thanks! :)
what do you do after you take cuttings off your main plant? will it grow back???
Yea a new stem will grow
thank you!
I chopped mine a week ago-- a bit late for this? 😂❤
Mr Sheffield please help me 🥲😩, my new monstera has suddenly started to go yellow around the leaf edges and now a whole leaf is yellow. I’ve just repotted it into monstera mix so maybe one leaf has gone into shock but I’m wondering if it’s too close to my grow light . Probably 3-4 feet away from it and I think it’s about 24watt . Never had a problem with monstera before but recently had a few thrips on one that’s close to the new one . Both been treated with neem oil a few times now , any advice please 🙏 ?
Have the thrips definitely gone? 2 ft away from the light is plenty so won’t be that. Is it the oldest leaf?
@@SheffieldMadePlants I can’t see any thrips now and don’t think the new plant gad any . The oldest leaf died on the new plant but another leaf is turning yellowish around the edges . My older plant is the same though it’s random leaves , definitely nit old growth. I can’t see any bugs on either plant though they were close to each other. The older plant has looked sickly for some time now . I’ve separated them and I’ll treat them with neem again. Both have new growth though so that’s a good sign I think . I can only think too much light , I don’t over water and use a moisture meter.
@@animallover1297 is it rootbound?
@@SheffieldMadePlants no the new one has just been repotted into monstera mix and the older one was potted last Autumn/ early winter as I brought it inside and changed soil to avoid bringing insects in
I am a disabled senior 60yo,my budget is very limited, and I cant afford the top of the line food,fertilizer, ect what is the best all around, soil/ hydroponic
Hard to say based on budget. I don't know the price of them all. Miracle Gro will probably be a decent shout
Some of my leaves are wrinkly am I under watering?
Yea potentially
I tried water propagation and totally murdered my plant last month. A reddit expert told me it happened because I didn't wait for the cut stem section to dry before placing into the water. Apparently you're supposed to wait half a day before putting the stem in the water. Is there any truth to this?
That’s good advice yes. I don’t tend to bother and luckily not had problems
Ugh, every video I've seen on monstera propagation focuses on the new cutting. I also want to know what happens to my original plant if when I cut off its "head". I have several big beautiful monsteras that I would like to propagate, but I'm worried what will happen to the original plants.
Anyone know the answer?
A new stem will grow and it will be juvenile so that is the drawback
@@SheffieldMadePlants
Thank you so much for the reply. I really like your videos and I appreciate the effort you put in to them.
When you say "juvenile", do you mean it will be a little baby leaf the first one out, progressively getting bigger with each new one?
@@NubbersTV yes that's it. Maybe not baby but smaller
Hi Mr. Sheffield!!! Do you need to let the cutting callous before putting it in water? I had one that rotted. I was getting frustrated that it took so long to root I kept changing methods- water, to perlite, to leca- oyyy. I hear that’s a no no lol! I was so upset with myself after😂
I believe you don't have to let it callus over if you've cut it with a very sharp knife (I assume razor blade or hobby knife level of sharpness). That being said, I also think a cutting will be more prone to rot the Wetter the environment. So callousing might be more important if you plan on propagating in water
I don’t bother to be honest

I recently bought a MD from a person. It’s quite large and she mentioned it needed a bigger pot. When transplanting it, I expected some really large roots, but found there was not much of a root ball and it had new small white roots, no large ones. I figure this is just a transplant from her original. Now after a few days, one large leaf on the top is drooping and I worry it will happen to the other 5 large stems and leaves. The soil she had it in was quite moist. Is there anything I can now do to keep it from dying? Thank you. Thank you.
Might need a smaller pot to stop the soil remaining wet. Were the roots healthy?
@@SheffieldMadePlants she said it needed larger pot. It was so heavy, I had to do it quick, but I didn’t look too closely at the roots in the wet ball, but just saw tiny new ones. Did add perlite to soil. She said she only gave it a tall glass of water every two weeks, but as I said, the soil was very moist. She named it Jeannie (after her mother) put corks in and on top of soil (too keep away gnats) and lighted incense in the soil! The plant was very well loved, it’s so big, like 5 x4, but only has about 5-6 huge leaves. I love it so much and hope it survives. The root ball with the small white roots was about 9 inches wide and long.
wowo
Air laying is 100% successful and will only take a few weeks
What’s air laying?!!
@@lougus7076 layering* autocorrect is a bitch
I'm new to having a green thumb and was wondering if you could use forest moss over sphagnum or not at all? (clearly that's what's on hand at the moment 😂)
Not sure on that one
My favorite plant ❤ what I find funny is that MD is one of the easiest plants to propagate but don't you dare to try on variegated 😂😂 that's where the 'real' fun begins with these guys🫣
How do you prevent the cutting from getting slimey and rotting? Every cutting of mine didn’t like water but somehow thrived on hydropeals mixed with a little soil 🥲
bacteria is growing in the water. Replace it routinely
Not sure. It happens sometimes but not often. I change the water sometimes
i recommend that you SHOULD NOT ADOPT A CAT because my cat is absolutely destroying my monstera by tearing off leaves while playing with it
Mine has never touched my monstera, but she's also a lazy chonky thing
Try putting some kind of undesirable deterrent on the leaves for a while to help them learn to stay away.
