He has started asking me to be paid for appearances.
Dam that's sad

Thank you Lee, I never thought I would get to have a Maury Povich "You are not the father" moment. Never knew I wanted it or needed it, until you said it. I so enjoy your content, say hey to your pops.
Short. Simple and to the point. Learned something new today.
And I dont even have Monsteras. Lol.
2:17 but you are telling us what to do...🤔🤨🤣
So...dad? Is that you?😅
I didn't want you to find out through a youtube video. 😬
@@KillThisPlant dad...I got into university. Pay up!
@@KillThisPlant😂
I think you might have some explaining to do with 136,000 children…..
“You can’t grow the perfect monstera forever.” Challenge accepted!
Do you even have a Monstera?
@@KillThisPlant🤣
You’ve got an amazing monstera specimen Lee!
thanks!
Finally another use for my bread knife! Seriously I know I will need to do this to my Monstera 'Frank' soon this was a very interesting video, I know my plant is healthy and happy due to your advice thank you!
say hi to Frank for me!
I grew up in a bakery. Dad did pastries, his partner bread. Do not underestimate good bread knives. I also worked on festivals selling breads. Do not underestimate bread knives! I slashed a proper gash in my hand (due to me being dumb and cutting breads in my hand). Took a while for me to notice because that's how sharp it was! I wouldn't have thought of a bread knife to cut plant trimmings, but makes sense now, after seeing this video :)
Great quality information and comedy as always!
Fr
Just expressing my enjoyment of your videos, thank you.
Glad you like them!
lol Lee I just love your videos because you crack me up!!! The broken rake stick took me out!! I bought a 6 leaf large form monstera on Facebook marketplace for $50 and can’t wait to see its potential. I am so thankful for you!
Damn extra large perlite indeed
Your plant is absolutely beautiful. I need to change my soul, maybe my leaves will grow the way yours grow. Thanks for sharing this video.
Thanks for this video!! I always learn something cool from you. You have a great channel!!
I just wanted to share that I've successfully been growing a monstera in my fish tank for over 1 year. Three days ago , based on your video I've also did an air layering to the potted monstera AND I've just had the best idea! I won't be keeping it for two months but only as long till it grows some roots then I'm gonna cut and place it in the fish tank. I've recently cut a part for my friend and it's been not more than 1 month and it has Huge roots atm. So, monstera + fish tank = love
PS: thank you for all the amazing tips on how to grow a beautiful lush monstera!
I just cut off the top of my monstera, guess I should have air layered. Well, hopefully it will create roots in my moist soil mixture. Thanks for the video Lee!!
As long as its got great lighting, good drainage, and enough roots to support the foliage you should be good!
@KillThisPlant I only had one arial root and thought it would produce more if in most soil. I did move it closer to the window as you suggested to get those holes in the leaves. Fingers crossed, it makes it!!
I’m so excited I just found your channel
Also my monstera have started getting fenestrations~! Yay! They were growing a lot, and they got a lot of indirect daylight so I thought that was that. After slowly moving them to the windowsill the first fenestrations are happening now, thanks to your videos. I had a tiny bit of sunburn on 1 small leaf, but they're doing well otherwise. I need to move them out of the windowsill in a few months, but found some affordable grow lights, so they can keep thriving. Thank you so much killthisplant :)
@@zazazipper9331 glad you are having success. Keep up the good work.
Amazing, I was just thinking about doing this soon. Thanks! 😀
This is so timely for me! I was wondering what the heck to do with my out of control monstera in a low ceiling room. Looks terrifying though.
What happens to the mother plant? For the bin? Or will it regrow? Thx 😊
ua-cam.com/video/lx2epZjzdnc/v-deo.htmlsi=EmxQgbbsF1P8sfCR
it will regrow

Have you considered that no I’m not you dad, but I am your mom 😊
Can i have $20?
I wonder if creating a weep hole in the bag would have been a good option. Could always open and close with tape so excess water could drain off.
@@alexreith4877 probably could have worked but likely not worth the extra effort to ensure it was draining safely (not on the floor).
layering is the best.
Totally stole that air layering hack from you to get a rather large top cutting going. Think it's at 5 fenestrations, so not quite as large as your partners but getting there! I also had to tape it up prop it, and then opted to extend the gallon freezer bag with another bag taped beneath that one once it pried its way out the bottom of the first one. I'm trying to wait until I see secondary roots, but it's got so many roots going I might pull it here soon regardless. Such a great hack!
How I wish I could buy one of those from you.
Your monstera is beautiful 🤩 awesome propagation, TFS!
I think that monstera would look way better if you moved the light to shine from the front. Like you don't get to see the amazing leaves when they are all facing up.
What a great Monstera. Have you thought about using a weatherizing clear spray for wooden fences to waterproof the base of your wooden pole/plank/stake that goes into the soil? That would prevent rot and decay, or at least delay it.
You can do this, i find i generally get 2-3 years before any rot so I would rather not bother. It outgrows the stick by then.
@@KillThisPlantwhat kind of wood do you use? Those coco poles have a wood wedge that rots in months. Now if I use them I use them without that wood wedge/stake. Anyway I have been using the cheap Home Depot yardstick as a plant support for pothos and some philodendron. I am spraying the end with weatherproof coating. I can't easily find cedar wood planks.
@@stefpix cedar or birch bark Is pretty easy to find where I am in Canada. That's what I use.
the decayed remains of the monstera left outside 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 (thank you for your sacrifice)
waaaaait what happened to homegirl @ 3:39?! 😭
I have my aurea and albo i dont want to cut it but i need to
Love your videos and I don't listen to my daddy either. 😂
sooo no one going to talk about the dead plant hahahaha
@@the13nobody24 dead plant*s 😌
Monstera graveyard out back…
After I cut the top off my Monstera, will the rest of the plant continue to grow leaves? If so, About how soon should that be expected to happen? My monstera puts out about one big leaf a month now.
ua-cam.com/video/lx2epZjzdnc/v-deo.htmlsi=EmxQgbbsF1P8sfCR
yes it will continue to produce, probably at around the same rate.
@@KillThisPlant Thank you!
Oh my gosh I did and it was the best decision
3:51 it didn’t deserve that😂😂
i mean, it might have, a little bit.
Video about saving monsteras with a field trip to your monstera grave yard 😮
Big monstera energy.
I'd like to state that chopping up your monsteras will unleash a ridiculous amount of growth in your plant, and then you'll have to get a bigger apartment. Also, you'll have a million cutting that you don't give away, and it will fix all the problems in your life. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Your videos are awesome, and the plants look incredible.
So if you don't necessarily want the leaves to keep getting bigger, start over with a mid cut?
@@shellym79 yes, that's an option.
How can the pot be too big for the plant? You said that at the end, I never thought that a pot could be too big.

Hey, can you plz tell us how to save and disinfect the cut on the cutting from rott. I have been killing the monsteria plants for too long .

Thanks man you are a saviour
Hi there. I know this video isn't about Bird of Paradise, but I've been trying to grow one inside in the Netherlands and I have this weird problem that no one online is talking about. New leaves keep unfurling before the stalks are high enough. So the leaves come our wrinkly and damaged. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. In winter, I use sunlamps and in summer, it gets light all day. I water whenever it's dry but no more than that. I spray it everyday with water to make it feel tropical. There are already new leaves sprouting, but they never get clear of the other stems so they start unwrapping early and come out all mangled. Any ideas?
@@kassistwisted I am not sure. It could be related to the soil staying too dry in between watering. Are you waiting until the soil is 100% dry?
I just placed a bucket on the floor and guides the aerial roots I wanted inside. No need for all that at all. Monsteras can be always have the aerial roots in a container with water. They love it and grow huge leaves. Specially after your monstera is too big for its pot but you have no room anymore but still have hight. I wish I could post a picture of my monstera here.
@@Nclk619 the best part of air layering is that the roots are already transitioned to a soil like medium making their final new pot much easier.
Water propagation while still attached is also fine but I would recommend you get the bucket as close to the stem as possible. That way there is less root mass adjusted to open air. Making an even more challenging transition to soil.
@@KillThisPlant makes sense, but you can just do it with soil instead of water. So far I never had any problem with transitioning any cuttings. Finger crossed here lol. As for the part that is not adjusted to being submerged, when I pot in soil I leave that part out and only the roots go in soil. After the stem have cured, I then burry the stem too. Air layering if not done right can cause fungus. My father had an arsenal when he was doing anything to his fruit trees that involved bringing moist next to the trunks. He also told me about sugars being interrupted, but I would have to research it since I don't remember everything about it. I was just a stupid teen that didn't listes. 😂
Lee, do we need to address the pile of dead (monstera) bodies??
@@FallenWiings8 no
I noticed that my monstera has some roots coming out of the bottom of the pot. Does that mean I need to repot it. It’s huge 😅 and if so, should I cut it up like you did here?
@@asialittle9423 ua-cam.com/video/Jeg1coEbfPw/v-deo.htmlsi=fD8KX1334vO-n8rF
Did you have to let the stem callus before planting? If so, how long do you have to normally wait?
@@Fullblown671 no.
You do or say something every video to crack me up.
Would it be ok to just cut off at the node and propagate in water for a leaf/stem half that size?
@@famalam943 absolutely.
RIP to that monstera on the ground lol
Can i use the cutting with an air root ? Does the air roots work as normal roots ?
@@Dentalame you can, but if you don't have the best conditions (as most indoor spaces don't) it is much more challenging to soil propagate this way.
Nice
Any tips for pruning an in ground monstera? I want to limit growth eventually but don’t want to kill the parent
cutting back under 30% of the foliage at a time is a general guide.
Have yo tired putting one of those clay like thing for bunsia cuts on the place you cut so it won't regrow and won't get too tall? Then you can use keiki fertilizer for orchids so it gives more shoots from lower spots.
Idk if it works, but it is worth trying. 🤷🏻♀️
Link to that grow light and wall attachment?
@@BobSmith-bx5es in the description. 40w aspect growlight and archetto wall mount.
That monstera grave 😢
Came looking for this comment 😮😅
Is the Aspect Soltech Grow Light really worth $200? And what kind of wall bracket are you using there? Or is it on a swag and mounted from the ceiling? I have a Monstera in an area thats open to 2 floors and this looks perfect! But it's a bit pricey... I want to know is thats the light that go your Monstera looking that great.
@@karencarriere8104 please buy what you can afford.
I prefer soltech in immediate living spaces due to the colour temperature. Other bulbs in the 4000K-5000K range are too bright white and give me eye strain.
I can't really demonstrate how this looks on camera, but compare it to a warm lamp at your grandmother's house vs. white lights in a dentist office.
A similar wattage bulb will give you similar growth.
If you want to see how the Monstera has regrown under this light you can watch my "how to reset your monstera" video
Where'd you get that nice chunky pearlite?
Specialty Hydroponic stores. The perlite is "size 4" or "grade 4"
Is the time of the year important when top cutting your monstera ? I'm afraid of doing it now that it's the end of summer even though i probably should
It’s mostly about light exposure. You can repot successfully anytime
Hey Lee!! *I NEED your help 🙏*
I rescued a monstera from my friend and lomg story short, the bottom is super skinny and the top is fat and healthy with all the new leaves etc.
- If I propagate the tops bigger growths will the bottom ever grow "thicker" of will it just repeat what it's done with me?
@@_Tylor_ no the bottom will not grow thicker. Growth will reset to whatever small size the stem is.
It will get thicker over time (with good light) and put you in the same situation.
Wait why can't we just let our monstera grow? Why cut it? ...also my big girl is in a South facing window and only grows maybe two leaves per year!
It’s not getting enough light and/or nutrients
Even if your plant is growing very slowly it is eventually going to reach the roof?
Why is it a problem to replant to a big pot?
@@krisarv1 ua-cam.com/video/lg6G0tG1tK4/v-deo.htmlsi=e3AuvHC58u44YRBZ
What bulb are you using?
soltech 40w aspect grow light.
