Raphidaphora Tetrasperma Care and Propagation (with updates)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лис 2020
- In this video I go over the care and propagation of the raphidaphora tetrasperma or also known as the mini monstera. An accident broke my plant in half, but no sweat because I know I can propagate this into multiple plants and in about a year time I’ll have 10 of these at full size. I show you a 5 weeks update on the propagation and you can see just how fast growing this plant is! They are an easy houseplant with minimal care and can tolerate a wide variety of conditions. They also look good for styling your interior space.

Oh my God...marry me Sean...You Cook!!You are intelligent!sweet!you're funny!you've got loads of beautiful plants!!...you are such a gem!!!😁😀👌
Haha thank you so much. I love cooking!
You missed it when Sean said, if you aren’t a plant, don’t hit on him.
@@janetshepherd9062 ha ha ha I’m new here. Like the exchanges 😄
@@onlyplants ....love love love.....make a vlog on your cooking too....hi sean!!!
Ha ha ha
Holy moly that tetrasperma is freaking MASSIVE. Mine snapped too but I actually managed to get it to heal by bending it back and taping it back together tightly. After a month or two, I took off the tape and it was completely healed like a grafted tree branch!
😀
Finally got one as a Valentine's gift for myself.
Thats the spirit! ❤️
I feel you. It's so easy to get lost when gardening. I always tell myself just 30-60 minutes a day (I have a day job) but I find myself spending 4-6 hours once I get started. Waaah!
And I agree with the no measuring bit. There's just no other way to go. that's why I'm a great cook but a mediocre baker. LOL
Time stops in the garden. It happens.
Just remember that it’s very good for your brain when you are working with your plants the more you work with them the better for you
Me with my WFH job😂😅
Sean: set them free, put them next to a tree!
Me, living in Switzerland: I don't think that's gonna work for me
lol lol. Switzerland outdoors is so very gorgeous without raphidaphoras haha. Maybe you can let them climb a ladder or your bedroom wall instead 😌
I'm in Australia and where I am it sometimes gets hot and dry outside and it would kill cuttings of this plant. So the total opposite here!
Bolehkah saya minta baby raphidoporanya satu?

Love that you always give us propagation and update in one video 😊
Thank you. Ive got tons of these videos on the way and is filming every day 😌😌
Scissor Happy!!!!
Glad to see you back on Insta and again spoiling us with 2 videos!!!!
Thank youu
Great video, thank you so much!! I just got my first, I am super excited seeing all your growth in just 10 months!!!
This has been on my wishlist for a while now.
Good timing. Repotting mine today and giving her a pole!
Awesome it should take over very quickly. 😌
Oh yay! its here! waiting for THIS! Totally will enjoy this during my lunch break!
part 2 of comments - Thai Food, cooking - ALL my favs too! ME too NEVER measure when cooking or mixing soil wahahahahahaaaa.... maybe its us asians! JUST got a huge mini monstera as my previous 1 got some leave fungal infection which I chopped till 2 tiny leaves. So decided to self care / treat self to a huge pot/plant which I will USE THIS VIDEO to propagate oh yay! HOW timely!!!!!
The chopping sound is so satisfying
Yes I love it too. 😀 and the smell is amazing too
I love that you recycle everything 🥰
Those roots! So many, impressive
Thank you for giving your updates love them😊
All the snipping, so many plants!!! That's what I do too
😀😀
I love the way you follow up with all your repots....and keep up updates....I am a new follower and I enjoy your touch.
Thank you so much, welcome to the channel! Im determined to master the propagation of all species and sharing them here 🥺
One of my favorite house plants! Love this!
😀😀
Ohh my word! You are soo talented and soo cute so smart soo soo many more haha. Anyone would be soo lucky to have you.
Great informational video; love it when the update is inserted in the original video. Thanks
Thank you... 😌😌 Im a sucker for update its the best way to learn
When you cut that first huge piece and tossed it on the floor, I felt that! 😭😲😰 Your plant is gorgeous, mine is just young but I'm excited to make a pole like yours and get it growing. 💚🌱
This plant has a very satisfying crunchy sound when you cut the stem :)
Haha I live for that sound
Thank you for the follow up. I searched the internet to be sure my parent rhaphidophora would branch if i pruned it. Yours was the only good info i found. 🙏
They most likely would depending on how much you cut off, how ready much roots and stored energy it has, and to make sure to leave at least 2-3 nodes for it to branch out
Yay, I'm happy you got your insta back!
Thank you 😌😌
I like the unscripted.
Learning a lot here.
Thanks for the video.
Great video!!!! Ahhhhhh! Your leaves are soooo huge! 😍
Thank youu. They put out huge leaves with good light and when allowed to climb 😌
Haaahaaa I just love these videos. The immediate updates. I am sure you made a great dinner 🍽️. The moss!!! Worked so well. I have a slow rooting node in water. Oncei get a few roots, two inches I read, I M planting in moss for sure! Haahaa all the poles. Im excited to see how your three in one w one pole does. Thank you 🤗🤗
Oooo you can actually plant the rooted cuttings straight into soil they are so easy 😌
Excellent video. Thanks!!!
My dream plant.thanks for the info
Great info once again! I air-layered my Raph in sphagnum moss a couple of weeks ago so seeing your moss propagation update makes me feel positive with mine 😊
You can easily cut it and stick it in water, this worked allways for me, and it don't take long, 1 till 3 weeks to root. I have it 10 years now btw. Greetings 🙂
They are easier than monsteras in my experience. I have a feeling that air layered bit must have taken off!
@@sihakrios6764 its an experiment I’m doing for now 😊 and also I’m postponing the inevitable - cutting my plant to pieces 😬
@@onlyplants yes it has, I’m seeing roots on the moss already 😁
@@sihakrios6764 4 m. deliciosa cuttings with 2-3 leaves and 1-2 aerial roots, fully formed 6 cm hydroponic roots in 5 days 😊👍
Yay! More plants :)
Very helpful. Thank you 🙂
This is great I’ve been after one of these for ages !
They propagate really easily. See it you know someone nearby to trade cuttings with. Or if you are patient, the price should fall very soon.
Hi Sophie, I don't know where you from, but in Germany they go fo 10€ -20€, and I had in 10 years no pests on it, and they can handle mostly everything. They can take full south sun if you water them enough, it grows very fast then, they survive in low light, but they get laggy then. And a interesting thing is, if you let some vines grow horizontal, you with time from the grow points new vines !!! And they get thicker then too. I propagate them allways in water, i just put them in water and forget about it, thats all, how more light you give the cuttings, how fast you get roots. Shipping works pretty good too.
So I really would say give this nice plant a try, you will love it, I'm sure. 💚💚💚
onlyplants yeah I might see if I can get a cutting on depop 😄 thanks!
Siha Krios ooo interesting thanks for the info! 💚💚💚
Nice 👍, yr garden so beautiful, love it 🥰
Dinner looks great! Fish especially! Cooking videos plz!
I’ve had a lot of good luck propagating but my RT took the loooongest time to give me new growth!
My Tetrasperma is huge. It just keeps growing. Even though I have neglected it many times.. No water for like 4 months. And yet still it just keeps going. No brown or yellow leaves just lovely green. Strongest plant I EVER had by far. It's like a monster! Right now it reached 3 meters. I've had it for maybe 3 years. Never changed soil either poor plant. I do give it rainwater that I collect instead of tap water. I had to screw in hooks on the ceiling and used old copper wire (from wired lights that stopped working) to keep it all hanging properly. Now it looks like a tall creature that wants to grab you 😂. I will propagate it soon. I heard its best to do in summer. I'm in Western Eu and it's still cold here though inside it's warm of course so I don't understand why the seasons make a difference if the weather inside the home is always about the same. Kinda nervous about propagating. Hope I don't mess it up.
Love your videos. Thx
😀
looks like your instagram has already back to you 4 hours ago.. so glad to hear that 😇, can't wait for your next updates
Thank youuu. See you!
Waiting for colabs..
so cute!!
Oh my god woooohoooo, this is my super duper always for all times favourite plant!!!!! I haven't even watched the video, but hell, I am so grateful you make a video about it. Truly Sean, this plant is in my heart, I told you before I have it closed 10 years, and I can say, it's the easiest aroid to care about. And ohhh wow, I can't write as fast as I am thinking. I can write so much about it, but well, I will watch your video now first and then I will see we have the same opinion 🤩😁 but thank you so much for showing people this amazing plant, it's absolutely underrated.
Haha thank youuu Im so glad to find someone who have so much love for this plant. Its quite underrated actually!
Every snip sounds painful yet satisfying to realize now you got a lot more of it. That costs like a loooooot still at the moment from where I live. And I can't wait for prices to drop or a friend gives me one. I hope for the latter. Lol
Thanks for sharing this, Shawn! Always excited watching and learning from you!👌🏼
They propagate so easily and grows so fast. I believe the price should come down very quickly
@@onlyplants i believe so too!🙏🏼
@@onlyplants every snip to me sounds so soothing. Very ASMR!!!
That Raf is a beauty. All your plants are beautiful...you are knowledgeable about plants and nurturing...your cooking also looks delicious...and to top it off you are handsome!! Hehe
Thank you so much 😌🙏🏽😌
Holy moly!!! Those big leaves!
Can you make a video of variegated tetra please?
I dont have the variegated ones yet 😅 they have become very affordable though so maybe I should get one
Thank you again for info.... I like your clay pots. I use lot of clay pots specially succulents and cactus.
Thank youu. Cacti and succulents do appreciate terracotta as they dry much faster 😌
Same thing happened to mine. Broke. I am propogating in spaghnam moss and water. Wish me luck. 🌿❤ Thank you
I am watching in utter envy!
Gorgeous ❤
😀😀
👏👏👏👏👏👏Your the Best !!!!!!!
🙈🙈
Suka banget baru nemu konten houseplant dari Indonesia, dan langsung subscribe! Baru nonton beberapa video dan masih penarasan, gimana daunnya bisa ijo banget 😍 di Solo terlalu panas walau wateringnya udah rutin :(
Uuu mungkin kasih paranet kalo terlalu panas yaa
I got a plant at Home Depot that was labeled as a Philodendron Ginny for $15 that I am pretty sure is a R. Tetrasperma. It is a decent size and has been growing beautifully in the month that I have had it so far.
Oh ya they are known as the Ginny somehow
Terima kasih banget,bro..sangat bermanfaat dan pas banget waktu nya nih,saya punya 2 dan sudah mulai agak gedhe_an,nanti mau saya perbanyak..👍👍🙏🏽
Iya good luck with propagation yaa
I never use pearl lite and it works. I get a new leaf a week on my Raphidaphora Tetrasperma's. So must be doing something right.
I wish have that one too its so beautiful.
I’m attaching my Ginny to a moss pole right now but I’d much rather have some of you Thai food Sean! 😀
Lol 😅
Re: chicken mug - yes I know what you mean! I have 2 chicken ceramic bowls here in SG with me that I brought from my home in Malaysia !!
That mug makes me smile every time 😌
Not gonna lie, I was hoping to see Sean cook some Thai food at the end of the video
Me tooo. Such a a talented and versatile person. I’d love to see you cook and Thai food tutorial. I think us plant nerds could learn just as much and absolutely love it.
Hoho this video will be 3 hours look because Thai food takes so long to prepare. 😅
@@onlyplants I would watch an "everything but plants" channel too. I would love to see your cooking even if it takes forever haha :)
AND you can cook?! Wow. 😍
Love cooking and I kill it at the grill! 👻
Just found out my raphidophora is rotting due to heavy rain , quickly checked this channel. Haha 🤭
Haha ooops. They actually hate water and only need a little bit to get by!
Whaooo Sean, I think I'm a good cook. But looking at what you cooked, my goooooooooodnessss!
Damn, you plant, you cook, you do business and you are good with dogs.
Well, well What else that you can do? Flying an airplane? 😜
Haha I cant fly airplanes Im too afraid of heights!
Hi Seaaan!!!
Rewatching your videos again and again on a sleepless night. 😅 I have a question I've been meaning to ask after hearing you talk about roots: What are your thoughts on root pruning rootbound aroids?
For instance, when space is limited like small apartments and despite badly wanting to upsize a pot, would it be a bad decision to prune roots? Will this shock/kill aroids like the RT, MD, rare philos, etc? Let us know if you've experienced something like this 😅
I've been looking up to your videos the most and really love hearing about your insight. 😅🙏🏼
Hello, thats the first time I hear about pruning roots... my recommendation for small/limited spaces would be to propagate the plant and start over, selling the oversized plant for extra bucks 😌
Very nice video and also your tattoo is on your right arm is a Greek word that means solicitude, passion :-) Love your job mate .
Thank youu 🙌🏻
Wow, your RT leaves are very large; there's hope for mine on a moss pole.
They do get bigger on a moss pole but theres a maximum size they can get to 😌
Hi, from Philippines!:)
Hello 🙌🏻
💚💚💚
your repotting/propagation videos are so therapeutic!! tried propagating using perlite as there are not many long aerial roots yet. also, how can i encourage fenestrations on its leaves? yours have pretty ones! I've had mine for months in medium to bright indirect light but it only kept on producing juvenile leaves, but the older leaves on the lower part already had fenestrations. love your videos!
Do let it climb up something, and increase light, and fertlise lightly to encourage more mature leaves
@@onlyplants got it thanks!
Lovely chicken mug 🐔
Hi Sean .. ive been following u for quite a while and loving all your videos. Ive got some qustion though ... firstly , in moss propagstion how do you water them , just flow the water throughly or u spray it ? Cos moss tends to keep the water in moss .. so it wont get root rot .. and secondly in shade and semi indoor area with ypu aroid mix , how often would you recomend on watering ? Thx a lot bro .. really apreciate it !!
Hello, first of all I leave my moss propagations out in the rain... so I must admit they are overwatered all the time and dont recommend to anyone to do this. You should only mist sphagnum moss and keep them on the dry side but humid and slightly damp as this is what will encourage the roots.
This video came up in the perfect timing l just got a rooted cutting of a raphidophora tetrasperma 😁
I have a monstera peru cutting in sphagnum moss and I'm so afraid of letting it rot. 🙄
Ooo monstera Perus are quite easy to propagate but they do grow a bit slow!
@@onlyplants and I'm not the most patient person. Two months still no roots 😴
Sean, did you make your own insecticidal soap? Or did you purchase it from somewhere? How clever and also relaxing to watch you wash the leaves 🥰
I make my own. Do check my instantagram highlights for more info 😀
I just bought Raphidophora Tetrasperma, it came with a porous soil inside a plastic pot. I am very new at this hobby, so please forgive me for basic questions.. I don’t want to kill them 😁 I keep the RT inside my apt, next to a balcony window, facing east.
- How often should I water them?
- Is 18cm diameter pot big enough?
- Any recommendation in fertilizing them? (i.e how often, what brand).
Thank you so much, love your videos!
How often you should water them depends on your temperature, light levels, humidity, airflow, potting mix used, pot size, pot type, and age of plant 😀
I would pay attention to their leaves and media to see about watering. The media need to be bone dry between watering. Dry crisphy leaves or droopy leaves would suggest underwatering. Yellowing leaves or excessive “sweating” of water from the leaves will suggest overwatering.
Check out my fertilizer video to see some guide on fertilising 😀
Hi there , love your content! during the water propagation, there are roots growing out from aeriel root… are they consider normal root that can be potted to soil mix? At the same time there is new leaf that seems to be going to submerge from one of the leaf stem during the propagation. Should I still keep them inside water?
Yep those roots are perfect for soil, can transfer to soil when you feel its a perfecr length 😀
can you make a cooking video? Your food looks great
Whoaa thank you. 😅
onlyplants! 🤣🤣🤣 love it!
😀😀
Hi sean. One question, do you soak the coco husk/chips first and dry it prior to propogation or do you use it straight?
I use them right away 😌
Hey Sean! I’m loving your videos! I am wondering where you get your insecticidal soap? Is it made specifically for plants? Thats super interesting. I’ve never done that technique before! Great idea
Hello, I make the soaps as I am a soap maker. I had an entire video dedicated to this soap so do check it out.
@@onlyplants oo! Awesome! How do I find that video?
@@onlyplants that's amazing! Hopefully I can find the soap video!
@@onlyplants do you sell the soap? I’m definitely interested if you do
Hi Sean, watching your videos for the first time. How do you spell the black product that you added to the mix?? Ur videos are very educational. Keep up the good work..
Hello… I’m wondering if that was burnt rice hull? Do DM me on instagram @bo.tan.ist for me to answer better as youtube does not notify me when you reply to my comment 😀
Just love your video. Rhaphildophora is an easy care plant. Do you keep all your pots in the plastic bag? We love to do that in Thailand.
Hello, I keep my plants in pots mostly 🤓
sean, just got my self this plant. anyway, not my point. the inching to your right at the start of the video was sooo cute! ☺️
😅
Halo Sean saya dari Ternate saya paling suka tanaman.
Hallo 😌💕
Sean, thank you for your content. I really enjoy your videos. Quick question though: In your aroid mix, you add burnt rice hulls. These are not available in the U.S. Is there something else I can use or add?
Hello, activated charcoal and horticultural charcoal should do the trick 😌
@@onlyplants Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. The plant community really IS the best!
“I dunno who brought the spider mites” lol maybe your dad? Lol so you can finally get rid of your plants that he doesn’t like llol 😂
Thanks for this video - can I ask what insecticide do you use/does it stop thrips and spider mites?
I have a video titled pest control. In there I show how I control pests using natural and chemical means
How often did you water the ones in sphagnum moss during that 5-week propagation period? thank you! 💚🌿😊
Lightly every day unless it rains. Do not let the moss get compacted with water. Keep it airy and fluffy.
Wow. I've never seen a tetrasperma with leafs sooo big! This is my favorite plant. How did it get so big leafed? 😳
With proper care and time they can get big 😀 also do let them climb
attached to the moss pole the leaves get bigger even Pothos do this
What a massive RT! I have one and the leaves are about a quarter of those! Are there difference types of raphidaphora tetrasperma?
Their leaves get larger when they climb. Also good light and some nutrients help ❤️
May I ask where you purchased the bar of soap?That's such a great idea I'd like to try.
Hello I make the soap. Ive got a video titled insecticidal soap on my channel so you can see what its made of. Unfortunately Indonesia doesnt allow us to ship soaps overseas without expensive permits...
sean could you explain those node growth points a little more in detail? i bought a brasil cutting a month ago and just potted it up but there’s no new growth (only roots) and the petioles are flat, not round. does that mean they already put out that new shoot before and can’t again?
Do send me a pic of what you are talking about via Instagram DM @bo.tan.ist as I cannot picture it in my head 😊
Hi,i got one recently for my collection but not that big yet..
Will a damaged root node still propagate? I was drying and applying rooting hormones to the trimming and the root node bent but didnt break off completely. Wondering if it will still propagate or not likely? Thanks.
Better send pics on instagram so I know what you are talking about. Usually it can sprout if it has a growing bud.
hey sean! i love your videos (both for the plants & because i miss traveling to asia & know we won't make it out there this year!) :( you addressed a question in this video that i've had forever & haven't been able to find the answer to but can you clarify (or point me to another video if you already covered this)- when a propagated monstera grows a new leaf, you mentioned that you have to be careful where you cut this new leaf off & that you have to be mindful of where the growth point is or the original cutting is "done" & won't grow any new leaves. can you expand/clarify where to properly cut? i couldn't tell where the growth point is that you were referring to. thanks in advance- i haven't been able to find this online anywhere! :)
The growth point will be exactly where the node is, somewhere along the “ring”
@@onlyplants gotcha- thanks!
sean, you have a new subcriber from me, and its very cool.maybe for next you can to give a B1 for fresh cutting, for lifting survive, probability.sie sie
Im about to do a science experiment video with B1 as it has no scientific proof. Ill have the results in 6 months!
Hello!! I have a few questions. Can you propagate a tissue culture one? Also does it matter what kind of peppermint oil you use?
Yes you can propagate TC plants. Propagated plants have the exact same genetics as the parent plants. I’m not familiar with different types of peppermint... I just get the generic ones sold by my essential oil supplier.
Wow, does anyone know what plant that is in the background of 1:24 with the semi-translucent leaves with green veins? Beautiful!
That would be a white caladium 😀
❤️👍
The tetrasperma has been on my wish list for months... i regret not buying it before the pandemic, the prices went up and it become kinda hard to find ='(. Anyway, the roots from the water and spaghnum prop were beautiful! Do you ever use root hormones for cuttings? or just let the plants do their thing
Hello, I dont use hormones or fertilizers when rooting 😌
The moss pole that you are pertaining to looks like jute tied around a cylindrical surface. Am I correct?
You could say that. There are different designs, construction, and materials for the poles. I use all kinds depending on what I can get my hands on. Those filled with moss tend to be better…
Sean- part time business man, botanist, and now chef!
Any tips for regrowing r. tetrasperma when all the leaves have fallen? asking for a "friend" hahaha
You can cut individual nodes and put them on sphagnum moss with the aerial root side down. New growing eye should appear in 3-4 months
Would it be possible to hang this type of plant?
Super helpful video! 🪴
You can but if they hang down their new subsequent leaves will diminish in size. Which is not a bad look I think.
I think you are the ideal man! Good heart and soul, love living things, and you cook?
Yeahhh!agree😉😁
😅😅
I also do photography, sewing, natural soaps etc etc... (bragging) lol Kidding. Thank youuu
