I just rescued one of these from the darkness of a big box store, and I knew Mr. Sheffield would have a video to help me care for it. It looked a little stressed because the soil was sopping wet, but it’s looking a bit better now that it’s dried out some and has some bright, indirect light.
I purchased a monstera adensonai on Amazon 1 month ago. There were 2 stems and I tried to convert them directly from soil to LECA. My results are fantastic. Rich healthy roots and new leaves each week and no risk of fungus gnats which have been a problem but mostly gone now. Love your videos!!
I rescued one from Woolworths a few months ago, it was looking very brown and crispy but now it’s lush and green and pushing out multiple leaves a fortnight. It’s one of my favourites now
Oh perfect video, I just picked up this baby today, usually £10 but I found it for £5 in the half dead section, glad I found an easy one, it's gonna survive yeah, but only because of you :) Thanks a mill...
I have just divided and repotted my monstera adansonii. I needed some more info so I am back here watching your video. When my plant arrived, I was scared to divide it even though I have seen there are multiple plants in the pot. Over a month and many videos, cuttings, propagations, replantings etc later... today was the day... I have divided my adansonii and ended up with 5 plants 😍. Each of them is now relaxing in their own pot, enjoying all the space just for themselves. One of them got a trellis straight away. Two will need to wait a bit longer for theirs. Fourth one will get a moss pole soon and the last one is a tiny one that went straight into water-rooting-nutrient solution until it has stronger root system. I absolutely adore monstera adansonii. No idea why 😁 Don't have much space to grow it huge but I hope I can get one of them vine around my bathroom just below the ceiling, another one climbing up a moss pole and third one trailing down in the conservatory. All the others... I will probably just use for propagations and sell them so they won't be growing too far for too long 😊
Just rescued one of these poor babies from the Walmart graveyard for a steal! Came straight to you to learn how to save him. (My 11 year old lovingly named him Fred.)
I wasn't planning on getting one of these, but I did bring one home a couple days ago. It was only $10. What really sold me on it was the texture of the leaves. They're like satin and feel similar to a Philo micans.
Mine just arrived today. After unboxing, I gave the leaves shower and watered the soil. My next step was wrapping two of the stems into kitchen wrap with bit of wet soil to air propagate. Poor thing, after spending 2-3 days on the road it does not even get a bit of relax and is immediately expected to grow roots, ideally yesterday 😁
The best tip I got for this is, that the leave surface is very reduced so it looses less water over its leaves and needs less watering! And jes, it needs less water than an equally bis plan without holes.
Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you take us all to make sure we treat our plants well and healthy too. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤ could you show us all the type of compost that is best for this stunning plant. ❤❤❤❤
Mine just has one really looooooong vine growing and the leaves at the bottom are tiny, I repotted it into a larger one but it’s still just vining outward so far. My plant identification app said it was an obliqua but I knew there was no way that was correct after I did some research. I was worried I ended up with a hard to please plant, I love the way monsteras look! This video was very helpful.
Im so glad in came across this video because im fairly new to plants and i have two of these but assumed they were the other monstera you mentioned 🤦 thank you
Mine grows so fast and bushy. I have clippings on the surface of my aquariums as they grow long rots and absorb the nitrates in my tanks. No leaves in the tank, they can be poisonous if fish eat them.
I have had mine for about....well....I actually have no idea but it's been months I'm sure of that. I kept it alive all winter, now it's June 2023 and that plant is alive but NO new growth are seen anywhere. I have another one that might be a bit older and it's growing new shoots but not too fast. I think I'll try the fish liquid fertilizer. I hope I won't kill it. It's getting to the point where I need a log book on when I fertilize my plants. I do have too many.
Just had one delivered this minute! Looks ok but its not a bright green like yours it has very dark leaves and one new growing. So now too learn how to care for it. Thanks for the help again. I've come to rely on your advice.
Your plant is looking so great...I have 4 of these two wide form and 2 narrow form....they all struggle sadly....I do not baby them or have them in the perfect light but I hope I can make at least one of them shine....it sounds like it is all me why they are not doing so great....I did recently repotted one and put hanging next to a floor lamp with grow light that shines up....so I am looking forward to spring and it is next to a door that I keep open all summer so it will get even more north and some morning sun!! So thanks for the inspiration and we will see if I can help my four thrive!! Ok thanks for making all your videos!!!
Thanks so much for the video. I always try to comment because your channel is great and UA-cam should definitely push your videos to all plant lovers. I've been admiring the adansonii for months. When my 12 year old went out with her grandfather and little sister to shop for mothers day, she stumbled upon one lonely adansonii at Walmart and recognized it! Suprise, surprise, she really DOES pay attention to what I say. Lol, I couldn't ask for more. I've been waiting to let it acclimate a bit before repotting and putting it on a pole. The past couple of days, I've noticed it getting a few water droplets on each of the leaves. Is this because it's taking in too much water? I think the soil it is in is a coir mixture and although I haven't been watering it, they may have over watered in the store....its still fairly wet. Should I mix some different potting soil in with the coir it came with to not give it too much of a shock? Or should I just start fresh with new soil all around? I've never had one before and don't want to get it wrong, I've become quite attached. Lol
A quick note on leaves that don't unfurl, which I see in the comments on this plant (and others.) I had this problem with a Diffenbachia recently. I tried giving the leaves a spray but didn't see much result. Then I moved it to a location with more light and that seems to have solved the problem. So maybe stubborn leaves is due to lack of light?
Thank you for your fabulous channel. Bought a baby Monstera Adansonii today and leaves are yellowing unfortunately so assume propagator had it in too bright light. Hopefully it will green up again❤
I can't find any tips on how to support this monstera. I've just got one and it doesn't have support unlike my other deliciousa who has a moss pole. Is there a right way to support this plant?
My plant started to get root rot after I tried growing it on a moss pole. My fault for not putting it in a pot with better drainage and air flow. I cleaned the roots and pot and treated the roots and cut off the ones that looked bad about a week ago but the leaves are still yellowing. It was doing so well before. Should I just try to propagate it at this point or is there something else to try?
I own lots of of house plant in my place and they seem to thrive well however whenever I purchase monstera adansonii home, the leave getting folded and curly and eventually die and I dun know why. Getting pretty upset Lol coz it's one of my favorite Any tips please 🥺
My monstera adamsonni is getting new leaves but they are brown already before they open up..I have taken all steps to make it healthy even fertilize d it but it didn't work. Any suugestion please.I wamted to show you image but there is no option here
I’ve had this but I’m not sure what causes it. I cut them out and the next one is normally better. Try giving the leaves a spritz with water as they are unfurling
My plant is growing and appears Happy and healthy but I've noticed some shiny spots (sap) on some of the leaves. I checked for pests but didn't see any. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much, I really really enjoyed watching you and listening to your sound advice on caring for my Monkey faced Monstera. I've subscribed and given you a like too. Please stay safe and well too
Hi I'm really struggling with my monstera. The leaves vary from some that are yellow to dry brown bits and some with black leaves on new stems. Some videos have seen have suggested underwatering and overwatering at the same time!
My Adansonii that i bought like two months ago has some weird folding leaves at the bottom. They're curled up and i don't know why. The newer ones it has grown here don't have this problem and now I'm not sure anymore if those leaves looked that way when i bought it but I'm nearly sure. I don't know why they do that and whether that is permanent though
I bought one a month ago and all the leaves and the stem turned yellow I checked the roots and they were perfect, but the new leaves would come out brown and mushy as well I really don't know what did I do wrong
Mine was fine until it started dying about a month ago - no idea why 😐 tried humidity, more light, better fertiliser - I’ll repot next and see what happens.
@@SheffieldMadePlants what do you think causes plants that you’ve had for quite a while to have hardly any roots? This happened with a peace lily i have - very few roots 🤔
@@SheffieldMadePlants Yeah, i checked. Didn't see any pests. I bought it just a week ago. I thought it may be due to root rot, but the roots seem to be fine! Struggling to identify the reason. Could it be due to a higher exposure to sunlight? It receives a couple of hours of morning sun (but even the morning sun is very hot here in India).
@@SheffieldMadePlants Hmm, okay. Will move it in n see if gets better. Thanks once again! Subscribed to your channel a couple of days ago n have watched many of your awesome videos. Absolutely love your channel!
I purchased this from my local Home Depot about a month ago. When I first got it it had a lot of new leaves that had not opened. I brought it home and sat in my office away from my other plants for about 5 days to make sure it did not have anything that would affect my other plants. The soil was good and showed no signs of root rot. However, after a week I noticed the leaves still weren’t opening. So I came to UA-cam for answers. One UA-camr said that it was an indication of a deceased plant that could not be saved and should be thrown away. Needless to say I didn’t do that, because it had some parts that looked healthy. So instead I separated it out and put part in fresh soil and some in water.. So far so good; however, the mother plant is still producing leaves that are not opening, what should I do? Any suggestions? Any advice you can provide would be deeply appreciated.
Try giving the new leaves a little spritz as they're starting to open. Might be a humidity problem. Mine did this at first but stopped. So it might be a settling in thing
@@SheffieldMadePlants yes it was in the east. It grows fast and are green too but leaves are small and doesn't look like those I see in your videos. They look lifeless as though.
@@SheffieldMadePlants oh! Then I will repot and change soil. Thank you very much for your guidance and for all the wonderful and useful videos. I get to laugh at your humour. It's happy watching. God bless.
I'm so annoyed! Even chat gpt and gemini and copilot don't know the difference between a Monstera Adansonii and a philodendron swiss cheese! I don't even know which one I own!? Could it be the plant store just labled the plant Philodendron swiss cheese because, locally, no one would know what a monstera adansonii is?
I just rescued one of these from the darkness of a big box store, and I knew Mr. Sheffield would have a video to help me care for it. It looked a little stressed because the soil was sopping wet, but it’s looking a bit better now that it’s dried out some and has some bright, indirect light.

Sounds like a good plan. Grow light should perk it right up.
The best way i found to spot spider mites is to use a fine mist spray, it instantly shows you the little webs which can be invisible otherwise to see

Thank you, Mr. Sheffield, I just have one little stem and I am going to follow your tips.
Just a question, your plant is just in perlite?
👍🏻
No I’ve got a layer of perlite on top. Can live in perlite fine though
Thank you! I love your videos!👌🏻

Should do. Mine has anyway
I can't find any tips on how to support this monstera. I've just got one and it doesn't have support unlike my other deliciousa who has a moss pole. Is there a right way to support this plant?
On a bit or wood or moss pole with the back of the plant against the support
My plant started to get root rot after I tried growing it on a moss pole. My fault for not putting it in a pot with better drainage and air flow. I cleaned the roots and pot and treated the roots and cut off the ones that looked bad about a week ago but the leaves are still yellowing. It was doing so well before. Should I just try to propagate it at this point or is there something else to try?
Depends on what’s left I guess. If it’s a mess then starting again might be a good option. They propagate very easily
I thought monsteras don't grow bushier after pruning, but only produce one new vine underneath the cut. Ist that different for adansonii?
great video as always . thanks
Thanks 🙏
Mine has some yellow on the edges of it. I just got it about a week ago. Any suggestions? Thank you!
Just got one. What does it think of grow lights and miracle fertilizer sticks???
It will like them just fine!
Useful tips thanks 🙏

If the leaves are folding in then this would suggest it's not getting enough water. Good light and water are key for this plant.

Might be too much light. Or could be too much water
Every time I water this plant, I end up with a couple of yellow leaves? Do you know what is happening?
Maybe your soil is not chunky enough. Does it stay wet for a long time?
What do people mean by using compost for the soil? Do you buy it or make it?
I buy it from my garden centre
@@SheffieldMadePlants Thank you so much!

Any advice for brown spots?
Could be too much light, too much water, too much fertiliser or pests...
I messed up and gave mines direct sunlight and now the leaves are brown how can i help it get back the pretty green
Prune it back and let it regrow new stems and leaves.
Can I use moss stick to hold ?
Yep
