    I saw a post once on Reddit where a lady had thought monstera deliciosa didn't naturally grow holes over time. She thought you bought a baby one and just cut the leaves to make it trendy, and was super confused when her plants started dying. She went through multiple before she asked for help!
    Sometimes people new to plants just don't get the hole thing haha

    Agree how sensitive this plant is when watering. Would normally water my plants once a week, and noticed my adansonii’s old leaves were turning yellow. Thought because it’s normal for old leaves to turn yellow (which is normal in some cases) but then realized it only happens after watering it. Thanks for the watering tips.

    My aunt just gave me some barely rooted adansonii cuttings. I accidentally knocked the long roots off of one cutting when I was trying to get it positioned around a bamboo stake to see if I can get it to grow up the pole. I hope they survive and thrive. I put them in my standard aroid potting mix that has coconut husk chunks, coarse orchid bark, some perlite and a bit of cactus soil mixed into fox farm ocean forest potting soil. I tend to be a little heavy handed with watering so I try to make sure the final soil mix is very quick draining while still retaining some moisture

  • @fullspektrum435
    @fullspektrum435 3 роки тому +1

    actually, there are four forms of monstera adansonii. they are Monstera Adansonii ssp. Laniata, Monstera Adansonii ssp. Adansonii, Monstera Adansonii ssp. Klotzschiana and Monstera Adansonii ssp. Blanchetii. The one you showed to us as wide form is in fact Monstera Affinity Lechleriana, and the narrow form is Monstera Adansonii ssp. Laniata. Difference between aff.lechleriana and ssp. laniata isnthe leaf form, in aff.lech. it is more round and more ruffled and a wee bit thicker than in laniata. also in affinity lechleriana, the leaf petiole's "wings" are prominent and stay green, but on ssp. Laniata they are deciduous, meaning they turn brown and withered. Laniata is the only form of adansonii in cultivation, the three other forms are found only in collections of very few individuals.

    I bought one of these recently from home depot. It came in a small round glass bowl of water, no soil. So far I've been trying to keep it in the glass it came in, but recently I started to get the lower leaf yellowing. I'm not sure if the issue is the water it's in, or if its nutrients. I figured maybe nutrients because I know it could have been in Home Depot for awhile since it was last fertilized, so I gave it some a few days ago. Patiently waiting to see if that solves the problem, or if I'm just going to have to plant it in dirt to make it happy.

    I was hoping you would talk about some of the leafs the plant has - seems torn and curled in like mine. I want to know why and how to prevent it... but maybe it is ‘ok’ ?

    I love this plant! It started growing good but now the new leaves are born with brown spots. Do you know why?

    Hi, I have a, "leggy" Monstera Adonsii. She's about a year old and she's fairly large, I was wondering if you could propogate the plant to get rid of the empty vine and replant the new roots or is it best to just leave it? Thanks great video ❤️

    Could I use a spray with essential oils to keep pest away from this plant?

    Here in Europe, we have some problems with it considering the Mosaic virus, especially with those which are store-bought. Have you had that problem? How can you recognize it? I have one of those plants at home for over a month, still in quarantine, because I can't tell if it's healthy or not. :D

    Just bought like a whole vine the other day.. for Php 200 (like 4 dollars? And thats a 6 leaf vine) and not in the best condition maybe becuz it was in such a hot and humid environment while it was shipped cuz it was covered in a plastic bottle so that the moisture is retained but because of the couriers the inside was very. VERY. HOT. i found that my plant's leaves are now like wilting turning mushy and black maybe leaf rot.. maybe because of all the shock? So now it has 2 surviving very very damaged leaves and so im leaving it be for now after i potted it up.. hopefully hopefully hopefully this plant survives (im 90% sure it can cuz its a very very tough plant but yeah..) cuz it has healthy roots so hopefully this survives cuz this is one of the most important plant in my wishlist of plants and now i have it but not in the best condition so yea.. just wanted to share my first adansonii experience but hopefully once i update this its all lush and beautiful like Nick's!
