How to pick the right stake for a big Monstera
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- When your Monstera is small any stick, stake, or moss pole will do. But as it increases in size, especially with large form Monstera, your stake needs to increase size with it. Here's how you pick the right stake to have the best long term growth.

I love the videos with your dad! I'm already laughing at "and who staked this for you?" "I think you did.." "that's a lie" 🤣🤣🤣
If I did I don't remember! So it didn't happen. 😁
@@KillThisPlant😂
Over the counter soil 🤣🤣 I'm with dad. I buy miracle grow cactus mix and miracle grow perlite. That's my recipe... it works the plants thrive. Yay!
You and your dad are the best! It’s nice to see how the bigger plants are staked too.
Watching you scoop each scoop one by one was ✨stressful✨😂
I so love these videos with your dad! Please keep them coming.
Thanks! Will do.
“I think you did” cut to you saying “that’s a lie” in a cool tone. Had me rolling dude. Instant subscribe.
Thanks for the follow!
You have really helped me with mine. Its still young, but its turning out to be beautiful. Just had my very first leaf that was born with the leaf split nicely. Thank you! Its grown alot in the past year!❤
Great job!
@@KillThisPlant thank you!😁
Your dad is adorable. More videos with him please. ❤🌿
How cute is dad in the merch! Plant looks great now!
What a beautiful vigorous plane. Clearly, it’s being well cared for.
And yeah, I was wondering why you didn’t put down a tarp on that immaculate lawn.
This is such a wholesome video. You and your dad are wonderful.
Thanks!
“I think you did it” 🤔😒 that’s a lie……. 🤣🤣🤣 Priceless Bro 🤣🤣🤣
You look so much like your dad! Is he nerdy like you? No hate, I'm a nerd myself.
I just imagine the two of you bonding over nerdy stuff, you two are so cute together!
He said "I ain't no nerd 🙅🏾♂️"
@@KillThisPlant well, you're still adorable together, nerd or no!
@@KillThisPlant😂
Great work Lee. I know your dad is proud of you! Free plant care. 🤣🤣
“ I don’t want to clean this up either “ 🤣
Dad: 🧍🏾♂️🧹
Love it 😩🤎
Congratulations Lee on 100 subs! Also, It is nice to see your dad again.
Thanks!
They work Just fine use them all the time
That's a nice garden!
I’ve been waiting for a new video ♥️ so happy to see you again!!
Hope you enjoyed it!
Nicely done Lee!
Thanks Carol!
Ooh! Your Dad is back! I love it!
Are you sure you didn’t add those bamboo stakes to your father’s monstera? 😂
Someone isn't telling the truth. 🤐
@@KillThisPlant Hmmmm… I wonder who? It couldn’t possibly be your cool dad… Perhaps just a lapse of memory 😆
Love your videos! Is that just a steak you got from a tree in your garden or something? Do I need to make sure its a certain type of wood if I do that or is it as simple as using a big branch from my garden?
A local garden center sells these birch poles cut to size. You do have to worry about it rotting. so any stick might not work.
Birch has usually rotted after 2-3 years.
Most of the time, if your plant is indoors, any type of wood will work and rot will be really rare. Outside, wood gets broken down by both weather like intense sun, a lot of water, and slugs, beetles, Earth worms and other critters. It still takes a healthy piece of wood a very long time though to rot in nature. So if you've got a dry but healthy branch from I've off your yard trees, treat it for pests and then go for it! I've heard lots of ppl use lilac branches as they get dead wood often and need pruned. In this case he was using birch. If you're super concerned about rot prevention (it will discolor from the soil and water but rot is soft and weak) you can use inexpensive candles and many the wax down and simply dip your wood/branch in to seal it off below the soil line, or you can use hot glue if the branch isn't as large. Similarly, you could use a spray sealant on the portion that will be in your soil. Goodluck!
@@KillThisPlant Okay thank you so much. I live in Ireland so I'll probably try to find a good one in a garden centre since some of the trees in my garden might be more susceptible to rot and not be ideal for this and birch don't really grow in my area. Thank you again!
@@MarisaAndChew Thank you so so much I'll definitely use this info and keep all of this in mind. Gonna go to my local garden centre soon and have a look for thicker pieces of wood to use before I think about the other options!
good information. good production quality. and above all, good sense of humor. good job. i subscribed. please keep up the good work. ps: my comments apply to all of your videos that i have watched so far. i will continue to watch.
Much appreciated!
I reported my monstera to a bigger pot and I also removed all the old soil from the roots, I replaced it with a more draining soil but still it retained a lot of water and it 3 weeks all the roots had rooted I started over with water propagations but it getting cold and I'm afraid they will die. I think the biggest mistake was doing the reppoting and the potting up at the same time. I really hope the cuttings will survive I really liked that plant 😭
Hope so! Best of luck
looks fairly easy ~ i might do mine soon. Thanks Kill this Plant!
Hi Lee. Can you please explain a little bit what you meant at 03:54 regarding new leaves... Great video as always
ua-cam.com/video/cxv9D9eXJ9Y/v-deo.htmlsi=5KQv9K0o_H75NYD1
It's hard to explain. I sort of address it in this video.
Basically with each new leaf, more stem is revealed. Tie each new stem bit to the pole.
Thank you, man!
I'm about to repot and stake mine so this was perfecr. Thanks.
Good luck!
Oooo your dad is adorable!!
“That’s a lie “ 😂😂😂
Hi Lee! Thanks for this sweet video. It is obvious your dad love’s his plant! I have a question about indoor grow lights. I ended up with 2 outdoor hibiscus this summer, that I have moved into the basement. I have grow lights sufficient for seedlings and kitchen cuttings, but not sufficient for these. How would I choose a bright light? If you have a video could you post the link? Thanks!
Hey man just discovered your vids. I recently bought a Swiss cheese plant and so far I understand your videos the most. I’m new to plants and was wondering if there is anyway I could contact you for a diagnosis on my plant just to see if she’s doing alright. Keep up the good work!
Discord or instagram in my about section.
You and your dad are goddamn adorable! I do want to bang my drum about cedar planks again for those reading the comments. I find it way easier to train my monstera to grow up a wide, flat surface than trying to tie it to a round pole. And personal preference, but I think it looks nicer
Need for Speed: High Stakes was about growing Monsteras the whole time.
🚗💨
Hi Lee, your dad is lovely!
Thanks for recommending that video on how to bring plants indoors from their summer vacation! It's just what I needed.
Question about my baby monstera: Along the equatorial line, when I've had them outside all year, I've always planted it approx. 1 ft away from the tree. The idea is that it crawls and its aerial roots go immediately into the soil, thus giving the stem the opportunity to become thicker/sturdier before it has to bear the weight of larger leaves.
I've applied this method to my potted Raphidophoras with success. Currently my potted Monstera probably has 2 more leaves to go before it reaches the pole and no cataphyll. Should I stake it already, or should I wait? It currently has 3 puppy leaves and 2 teenage fenestrated leaves.
Thanks Lee for sharing your extremely valuable experience ❤
If it's happy crawling and you have the space you can leave it. If it's a normal monstera Deliciosa staking sooner will benefit but if you're talking about waiting an extra 2 months in the grand scheme of the lifetime of the plant, it doesn't really matter.
@@KillThisPlant You're my plant guru! Thank you so much Lee!
Question: I have a new monstera Deliciosa. I want to begin to grow it on a pole, but I don’t know which to try. Would it be better to buy a moss pole or coco coir? Thanks for the video as well, it is very informational and explains it well.
Neither. Wooden stick. Ideally cedar.
Very nice plant. I have 2 monsteras that desperately needs to be repotted. Just not sure what size of pot. there are in the nursery pots they came in the black ones. And not sure what soil do I use.
I have 3 others that I know are okay except the 2 big ones. What kind of wood stake is that.
He really is the main character ✨
No, me.
great video. your dad looks just like you
I keep trying to tell him, but he insists I'm the one who looks like him.
Its absolutely time for me to "fix" my HD/TJ monstera from growing laterally. Extremely intimidated though, so your videos are insightful. What are good sources for your birch stake supports?
A local nursery sells them. I don't know any online sources.
Your dad is soooo cute 😍
You're a Good son , Nice looking yard can you just stick that in the ground somewhere outside ?
Unfortunately, we are very much in Canada.
@@KillThisPlant Is that bad ?
👋🏽Hi Dad. Do your own channel.
No, I want all the views.
Hi Lee! So I got a monstera a few weeks back and in my country we don't have different potting mixes. Like, nurseries actually use whatever soil there is in the ground nearby. The soil my monstera has is soft when you water it, but it hardens a lot- especially the surface- after 2-3 days. It's placed outside on my balcony and gets 4-5 hours of direct morning light. I'm scared of overwatering it but the problem is I can't really stick my finger in more than an inch into the soil due to how hard the surface gets. How often do you recommend I water it?
That's the one thing you'll have to figure out on your own with experimentation.
Maybe you can invest in a moisture meter to help you tell.
@@KillThisPlant I see! Im sure I’ll be able to find one of those online somewhere. Thanks!
If you can’t get perlite or vermiculite, you might be able to get a more airy mix by adding bark, clay balls, or pebbles to the soil. I think the Swedish Plant Guys have a good video on this.
LMAO, very nice!
😃
OMG, why are you attacking me personally with this title? lol
😁
@@KillThisPlant You softened the title😭. You are most merciful. May your monsteras prosper forever.
Maybe a dumb question, but is it okay to repot an indoor monstera in the fall/winter?
It'll adjust faster in the spring but you can pot year round indoors as long as you have good lighting and follow good practice.
Thank you@@KillThisPlant ! I would like to wait for spring but I'm concerned that it's gotten so top heavy that its current pot may overturn! Appreciate your wonderful videos and great advice!
Bestie, do you have any info on 'spent nodes'? I'm trying to figure out whether or not they exist - there's a potential £10 monstera aurea on the line
I'm unsure. My general understanding is that plants can remobilize cells to create new specialists cells. So if a growth point is damaged cells could create a new one (but this is only my logic following a limited understanding).
But my opinion on buying unrooted cuttings with no new growth is 'don't do it'.
Hmmm I wonder who staked it previously 🤔
A ghost
Bro I need your help with a Monstera I found in the forest where can I contact you😭 I don't even know where to start
My discord server is the best way. Check my 'about' section.
Hello, I am writing from Turkey. I also have a huge mosera. It has grown a little unbalanced. I would like to contact you. I would like to show you a photo and ask for your opinion.
That's a lie! 😂😂😂 anyways, quick question (completely unrelated), I have a Thai Con and I was wondering... if a regular monstera can take a wide range of lighting conditions including full direct sun can a Thai Con take the same? Have you tried it? Any luck?
I am going to assume they both can take similar amounts of light.
dude you look just like your dad
Twins
@@KillThisPlant i have a question, right now a have a small thai con with 3-4 leaves its veriagation is currently white but from what i see online alot of thai cons have a yellow veriagation. Can i keep it white with any method, will it stay white, or after a while will it inevitably become yellow.
@@colleenleyrer3980 as it matures it should change to more of that yellow cream colour. Not really anything you can do to alter it's genetics.
🤣
I was sent an unordered decent sized mostera delicosa with a recent online purchase, and then was told to just keep them. I have not decided if i shall keep them or give them on. For now they needed repotting and staking something fierce, and i am so pleased to have done an okay job of that thanks to your videos. 💚🪴💚
