How to propagate Albo Monstera begins at 13:08 👌
Miranda Mason it’s just perlite and water. I try to show what’s the consistency for the water. The key is do not over water it. Moist enough to have condensation but no water retain at the bottom of container.
Miranda Mason, Heroine! 👍👍
You’re a hero! 🤣
Oh boy thank you for this
i guess im asking the wrong place but does anyone know a trick to get back into an instagram account??
I was stupid forgot my password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
This is one of the most informative videos on monstera propagation that I have found. ❤️👏🏾
Thank you! I'm glad it help. I'm sure there's still a lot to learn :)
This video helped me to save mine from stem rot! Everyone said to clean it and put it in water but that made me too nervous! Perlite has worked wonders
Im waiting for Albos Price to go down up too $15 😂
I do hope there more tropical plant grower out in USA. I'm always so envy EU people can enjoy lots of tropical plant in such a reasonable price. Always question why their nursery can and we can't lol
I heard Costas farms is doing a clone program for Variegated Albos and supposed we should be able to get them at Walmart for $10 next year. I don’t know if I believe that. Maybe with Thai Constellation but Albos are freaks of Nature!
@@andrenogueira-kourkoulis2381 well yehh pretty sure supply and demand is donna out weight someday. When everybody have it theirs no more value to it.
@@Elvykiung cuz American Gov is very corrupt. Not only on plants regulations but same thing on banking system, food regulations etc... theirs lots of food that is banned in EU, AU and Asian countries while We still eat them cuz out gov wants us to have cancer lol.
There's no way to tissue culture albos, they haven't been able to replicate the genetic mutation that makes them have variegation. Thais are being tissue cultured by Costas and are going to be about $50-100, still not super cheap. I don't think albos are ever going to be super cheap just because variegation is unstable and hard to propagate on a large scale. I do know quite a few nurseries are building up propagations to sell but they'll still be expensive, they're holding them back so price doesn't decrease and releasing slowly to make as much money as possible.
My stem is growing a leaf and I've been wondering and concerned if it will ever grow roots. Thank you so much for the information!
Hello, Elvy! I purchased two 2-node cuttings of 'Halfmoon' from Sri Lanka, to arrive next month from a supplier, and just now!, a 'Borsigiana' node from your Etsy site! I didn't know that there are SO many variegated types. Thank you very much for your informative video!
Kind regards,
David
Propagation starts at 16:00
Hi Elvy consider yourself lucky one u have such a nice monstera, I just got a cutting today I am really excited about it I cant wait for mine to be looking good like urs! have a great one
Yes!!! I feel grateful to have such a dream plant :)
Wow these plants are so beautiful 💗🌱💗🌱
Mandi's Houseplant Channel I’m really lucky to get them. It’s my dream plant :)
Very educational. Thank you.
I am headed that way with the albos 🥰♥️😍
just got some nodes and i’m trying sphagnum moss propagation! I have them in a cloche bell jar and with a grow light so they are in a little greenhouse 😍
Good luck for you!
Im so beyond sad I bought a albo cutting and it had some roots when it came but they had some root rot on them and now I have had to cut the entire root system off. The node is very small and it still has the stem and leaf. I am goingbto try to grow the roots back with perlite but it doesn't look so good. This was my birthday present from my husband they are soo expensive I cannot afford another cutting and I definitely can't afford a bigger plant. I'm heartbroken I feel hopeless
Hi I've been trying to root my albo cutting since December. Did perlite started to rot so I chop that off and did water propagate it's been 3wks now no signs of any roots so now I switched to sphagnum moss. I do have it in a terrarium. What am I doing wrong? Nothing seemed to help
ty for a very informative on propagating a monstera albo learnt a lot thank you
Recently a few of my leaves are growing out and quickly turning brown within all over the leaves as though it’s rusting? It is not just dried brown on the edges. Does anyone know why my new growth leaves are browning while the older leaves are ok? The stem are healthy and it’s not wilted or droopy and not dehydrated? Please help as I’m at my wits end and it’s certainly not a good sight for sore eyes? Thanks in advance! X
It sound like trips damage to me. They like new leafs. It possible coming from your other plants. Spray captain jack once a week for three weeks then every two weeks for 3 months. Doing it once a month for preventative maintenance
Hi! I was searching for tips for fun and I came across your channel 💚 you’re so adorable! Thank you for posting!
Thank you for watching! I'm totally weird in front of camera lol
You are so absolutely adorable and thank you for this knowledge.
Thank you for watching. Glad help 😊
if you cut the top node will the previous node which is now the top node will you have 2 new shoots to come out or just one
just one, the plant don't split branch
Great information. Thanks!
Hi Elvy or anyone reading, i had my albo in moss but switched it to water and it now has root shock. Should I cut off the roots and place it in moss again?
Hi Elvy, I got one node with a leaf cutting and followed your directions! I have a new leaf coming out but its absolutely white! Do I cut it off? The original leaf is green and white. Thanks!
leave it :) the plant will grow second leaf quickly after, if you cut may cause stress to the plant. I have one just like yours :) check out my node propagation videos
Is this propagation or potting?
Mine has a good amount of roots and I need to start potting... just trying to figure out the best way. Leaf cutting is a stem that directs downwards
Hi, would you also put the aerial root inside the wet perlite as well? or only the node part?
I tried water and changing it regularly and they started to turn black. I saw its still possible to save it. Help?
Love love these plants
thanks!
The most informative video I have seen. Thank you so much. I subscribed and am looking forward to watching your other videos.
Awesome, thank you!
So I got a rooted plant today, one leave, one very long aereal node. I’m new to all of this. What is the aereal node for? Almost feels like a stick lol. Is that used to prop up the plant? And there is a part that was cut off by the seller I’m sure for propagation, but will I get a leaf coming out of there? Or from the base of the plant. I know I sound silly but I literally have no idea lol!
Yeah the aerial nodes would naturally try to like hug around trees to stabilize itself and such . As for the cut off part it depends on if it has the little bump I think ? That’s where I think the leafs come out
aerial root and node is different part. The aerial root is supplemental root system to help climb and absorb n nutrition. Node is where the grow point for the new leaf at. You can grow the plant without aerial root but you can not get new plant if the node is cut off. The node is look like a bump :)
Hello! I am interested in using LECA with the Perlite. How much water do you put in ? Do you fill the water up to the point with LECA and have moist perlite?
No, I fill 1cm max water underneath in my set up. Perlite able to absorb lots of water already so I keep it on dryer side
Please let me know how to propagate mid cutting with 1 leaf. Thanks
will do. It is the same way :) you can check out my node propagation.
Hi Elvy, i was wondering how to maintain the balance of variegation? eg lets say if leave comes out full white, then full white again or full green then full green again, then we need to prune it? do we cut just the leaf ? or cut at node? Thanks.
I'll wait until two full green before I do the cut. Cut above the node where you see white on the stem as regular propagation. I'm not too worry about all white because the plant itself will take care of the green part latter on but it will be the same, after see two fully white, then cut at the node point where you see green. I saw an amazing half moon plant that produce full green on one side and half half on the other leave. :)
Thank you for your video! I just got a new cutting with a leaf. There’s no root yet. Can I go ahead with perlite propagate? Or should I do water propagate until little root comes out, then do perlite propagate?
You can start directly with perlite propagation.
Thank you for your reply! !
I had just gotten a cutting with a leaf about 2 weeks ago. It came in spagnam moss and perlite. I noticed the leaf was looking a bit droopy so I checked the cutting and it was starting to rot. I contacted the seller and she said to just cut off the part that was rotting and put it back. I haven’t checked it in a week. My question is should I just completely take it out of what it was sent in and just do perlite or could I water prop? I’m soooooo nervous because this plant was so expensive!
I’ll stick with the seller recommendations and I’m not recommend water if it already rot once. Take it out cut the rot and use new medium for the propagation. You can add cinnamon powder on the cut it help prevent bacteria fungus. Communicate with seller on the progress. Some seller will help you out.
My mum gave me a 3 leaf cutting off of her Albo. I’m propagating In perlite. Is it right that I put the part that was cut into the perlite?
yes, that right, the most important is to make sure not over water it, it just need to be moist not wet, no water underneath
@munky Braidwood Would your mum be willing to sell cuttings? This Monstera Albo is on my wish list. Please let me know. Thank you
Is the stem covered as well? Does the stem ever rot with it being covered in perlite?
Depends on how long your stem. My situation is covered and root grow from stem
Hi could you please help me with how to grow a cutting I have bought? It has 4 Ariel roots in a row on one stem and then the other stem is longer with a leaf. I’m new to this, thanks
I'maplant lover, but all my plants I have i got them for free from random people whoo gived me cuttings. Do you know where I can get afree cutting ?
Pse_Jo sorry I have no experience on this, I pay for all my plants :) maybe you can do trade with others. I personally never do trade either. I hope this help.
Hi Elvy! HELP LOL I've been searching on how to properly propagate a Monstera Albo cutting with 2 leaves. After I watched this video, I tried this method but mine already rotted twice. On my 2nd try I applied candle wax on where the cut was but it still rotted. I'm on my last and closest cut to it's remaining node. What should I do? I'm drying it's fresh wound for 24hrs. and applied cinnamon on it in hopes it'll not catch any infection and stop it's rotting. Tomorrow I can try again but Please help me on what should I do next or what changes should I do to make it do better in perlite. I'm so scared it'll rot again on me and eventually reach the node. 😭
tbh, summer is not good for me too 😭. I can definitely feel your pain. I have couple that doing like that, mainly is the one super varigated albo. The way I do is let it dry out completely like over 2-3 days but some of them just continues rot even without water. You can try rub the cut with the red onions, I saw it some grower did that in Asia, I try it myself, I think this make the cut dry faster and kill the bacterial. Hope this may help 😭
Elvy Kiung Hello! Thanks for responding, I really appreciate it. So today is the 3rd day since I propagated it back to perlite, for it’s 3rd time/try. So far it hasn’t shown any rotting, which makes me really happy, BUT I’m still scared. Maybe I’ll start to feel completely fine when I see some roots start to show up on it’s node. I propped it in a glass jar where I could see it’s bottom stem and node easily through the glass and I’ve been checking it everyday as I say my prayers 🙏🏼🤍. It’s a more balanced variegation, leaf & stem, which is really a great cutting for my first Monstera Borsigiana Albo, that’s why I’m really nervous, anxious and really hoping it’ll take roots. Just can’t afford another one if this will die on me. 💸🛒😭 This is still my #1 wishlist plant and it has been a struggle as it arrived to me with rotted aerial roots that I chopped off immediately prior to propagation. BTW I also covered the top opening of the jar with saran wrap, will that be fine you think, or should I just leave it open? I place it under grow lights 12hrs/day and close to a humidifier. Please pray for it to survive as well as to myself 🥺 LOL or maybe you can share some of your propagated cuttings to me? 🙊 HAHA I wishH!! Well anyway I’ll keep updating you if you don’t mind? It would help me feel better with your guidance, coz you’re like the ‘Monstera Albo Queen Fairy’ 🧚🏼 🏹💚
@@laceesdrelon-generoli9936 Thank you for vote of confident lol you have no idea how many albo I rot. Sometime the plant just hate you not your skills or anything. figure close this baby root it for you :)
What if there is no buds on the stem? But there is node?
if there's node, the buds will eventually from, it just may take longer time then usual
Can you propagate with just one leaf ?
no you can not
What I meant to ask is can you propagate with just one leaf and node? Would two leaves have a higher chance of propagating than a 1 leaf with a node?
@@tiffanyarlequin8711 yes as long as there’s node it can propagate 😊. Two leaf root faster but not always still depends on variegation and plants itself.
Thanks so much for the video! What is in the bottom of the pot under the perlite?
Leca, clay ball
Can I put an alocasia in perlite which is not doing good in soil? I can feed it some superthrive while it is recovering.
Yes. That’s how I grow my Alocasia and it’s they way I propagate too. Keep them moist but not wet. No water under the container but u can see the condensation :). Ill have update on my Alocasia soon :)
I moved my Frydek and Regal Shield. Moistened the perlite with a little bit of water and superthrive. Let’s see how it goes!
what is the mix u use is that full perlight and barks. ???
I add little leca and sphagnum, full perlite will work too
Where did you get your transparent plastic containers?
Amazon 😊, link on my other video what I use for indoor plant
Hi i just get my cutting on mail what wax did u use and how you did it pls need help thank you...
any regular wax will work, personally I dont do wax anymore, just make sure the cut is dry
Thank you that will help...
Hi! I received a 2 leaf cutting with sone roots starting to grow,. The seller was roiting them in water for 2weeks now when I bought it fron her. Is it safe to switch to perlite to continue growing the roots? TIA!
Yes it is 😊 they may grow faster in perlite if it already have some root
@@Elvykiung thanks so much! I appreciate your help!
I just got a cutting with HUGE arial roots. Do you recommend putting the arial roots in with the perlite?
Christina S988 so lucky i would put it in water the perlite is risky if you forget to water
Chicken or The egg last time I did that with my Thai they turned to mush.
The aerial root easy to rot no matter which method you are using. Aerial root is harder and usually mean to a supplement the plant. The point is to grow new root, new root that will either grow from the stems or the aerial root. The plant perfectly able to grow new root without aerial root :) I wont be worry if the aerial root rot, the most important is your stems.
Elvy Kiung thanks Elvy! I followed the instructions in your video and my albo seems to be doing really well! Hope to get roots in the next few weeks
You could put a mossball around the rooted part to help it 🥸
yes! some of them I did it. It is nice way to tell how moist as well
Hi @Elvy! have you try leca only? mine is on Leca but not roots yet, been there a month now
Yes I do. In fact my first albo is root in leca and it work for me. Maybe heat mat will help? If nothing still can try different methods. But it’s spring right now I’ll give it another month before switching 😅
can you make a video of how you water them when they are already in the perlite container?
when they in perlite, I water maybe like 10 days to 2 weeks. It is close set up so humidity stay very long. I just pure little water and wait couple hrs see how the condensation look and if it not enough repeat the action. I prefer under water than over water it.
Really helpful. Thank You.
glad it help :)
Hi Elvy
Do the cups have holes on the bottom?
No. But I do suggest to add holes now
Just subscribed! Great video. I am getting one in the mail tomorrow, I have succumbed to the craze! LOL I do have a green thumb but still a little nervous. Your videos are so helpful and detailed and your plants are beautiful!
Awesome! Thank you for watching :)
@@Elvykiung Got it today, it's in it's little moss bed now lol I'll let you know how it goes!
Hi! I just used your video to put my albo monstera in perlite. What kind of grow light do you use?
I have couple different type of grow light, I'm not sure if there any significant different lol , I don't like the purple light tho, so not that one :)
What are those reddish beads at the bottom of the vase?
It’s cray pebble call leca
Do you have the link for the clear pots you are using?
Yes. It’s on my other video title what I use for indoor plant 😊
Why not use perlite when rooting the nodes?
I did :) I show the common way how most people easy to follow :)
the grow light LED behind your video. where you got them from? can you post a link?
Here is the link. I like this brand SunBlaster.

Very helpful video , thank you . I want to buy a cutting so bad 😞 seems everyone only has full plant . I’d be interested in buying a cutting if you are selling any .
I don't have any to sell this time but you can DM on my IG @elvyplants
You are so lovable and so informative, i finally found some cuttings, thank you for your detailed videos!!
Thanks for watching 😊
Can you explain a bit why adding rooting hormone before water propagation reduces the speed of rooting?
I'm not a scientist lol, it is what I hear and what I think it is. The superthrive solution does act as a rooting hormone.
How much SuperThrive do you add to the water?
Where do we get them for cheap
I don’t know your location. Europe sell it super cheap 😂
Elvy Kiung can you at least tell me their Instagram or anything I am from Thailand do they ship?
@@punnawishw9468 They are made in Thailand. Try your local nurseries?
I am in Holland, Europe. Most flowers are cheaper, compared to the prices of the world... Plants, however, have steeply risen these last 2 years(to keep up with demand...) A single leaf and stem cutting goes for prices between 44 and 105 euro ATM.
Is it possible to just propogate aerial roots?
yes you can but it is not the best way since new root will grow from the stem, you want the stem to be moist to promote root grow. Aerial root is supplement on top of your regular root and aerial root easy to rot while it try to convert or grow new root :0
Hi! Does the moist perlite have to be changed out every so often (until enough new roots grow to be repotted in an appropriate soil mixture)? If so, how often?
No, you can keep the perlite as long as you like, I change only when I need to repot the plant and I do reuse the perlite :)
Hi Elvy, I’m confused about aerial roots. You say you don’t need them, but isn’t that where the new roots come from? If you don’t have one, where do the roots grow from...the node? So if you are propagating a stem with both a node and an aerial root, where will the new roots come from? I always thought it came from the aerial root only. I’m asking because I am currently getting ready to chop and prop my albo. I was waiting for the top node to develop an aerial root before I cut it but now I’m thinking I could go ahead and cut it since it does have a node. What do you think? I hope this made sense 😁
the new root will come form the stem just like the aerial root but now it not call aerial root lol
thank you :) would it not be a good idea to put shagnum on top of the perlite so have more moisture to the upper part of the plant? I actually try this with seramis for succulents instead of perlite and i will see how this works
yah small amount of sphagnum will help keep it moist :)
Succulents don't want lots of moisture. Would be good for the Monstera though.
@@earisu no, i meant the seramis i use is to be used for succulents. I use it for monstera and other plants 🙂
I see some people selling reverted plants saying that they can grow variegated again. Is this true?
It is true but it is gambling. It depend on what type of plant some have higher chance some not.
Hi Elvy! Thanks for all the info. We appreciate it. My put my monstera albo in perlite 6-7 days ago since I bought it from a local seller here in Dubai. Initially, it was in water propagation. Shall I check it and dig it up from perlite now? Or shall I just wait a lil more. Just wanna check it out to make sure it doesn’t have any root rotting happening.
Yes, you can. When you pot it back, dont add water or anything. if you see rot, treat the rot then reduce the amount of moist in the perlite
@@Elvykiung thank you for the advice. i will check tomorrow and see what the status of the plant is.
Elvy Kiung Hi Elvy, please can you suggest a method to remove rot from part of a cutting? Should I just go ahead and cut it off and try again with perlite propagation? Many thanks
Can you help me where to buy Monstera albi? Thanks so much
ebay or facebook have lots of people selling it
Wow! How did you get all those beauty . I don’t even have one and can’t afford one of that. Will you sell a cutting someday ? I would love to get one but from someone that I can really trust . This is one of my wishlist plants and it’s so pretty.
Just Myra thank you! I just lucky to know someone. I’m propagate some of them to sell. You can DM me on my Instagram @elvyplants :)
Great video but if your title is “how to propagate…” then please just get to the topic.
You spend the first 13 minutes about the background info, how recent you’ve beann collecting plants for, how much you love albos how/where to buy, and etc not relevant to the title of your video.
After you cut the node from the mother plant, what happens to the mother plant?
it will regrow new leaf but the leaf will be smaller
Hi Elvy! I love your video. I started planting and somehow got obsessed with mostera albo and especially the halfmoons. Can you share where I can buy cuttings, I am based in Seoul Korea. They are so rare and so expensive here. Can you give me some hints?
I think they are expensive in anywhare lol you will get better luck in Asia or Europe
Hi Elvy! This is the first video of yours I've seen. Thank you for sharing all these different ways of growing, even the hydroponic method you are less familiar with. I would love to know how your stem nodes are growing, since it's been about two months. I am thinking about buying small stem cuttings like this... but scared! It would help to see an update on how yours are turning out.
Thank you for watching :) They are fully rooted now, some still in perlite some (big one) I pot in soil. Try acclimate to less humidity environment now :)
I hello there! I have pumice, is it fine to use it?thanks!
yes pumice is good!
Sell me one of those cuttings! 😍😍😍❤️❤️
What kind of wax do you use to seal the cuttings?
just regular no smell one
@@Elvykiung Do you mean candle wax?
Yes 😊
@@Elvykiung Thanks!
Hey, thank you so much for this, i have had my cuttings in water for a while now and i was wondering if its okey to Change water to perlite instead?
Yes you can! keep them moist not wet. Some of my plant that not react to perlite, have to change to fish tank water lol
@@Elvykiung thank you so much ❤️
What brand of Perilite and Leca do you use?
Would like to buy a start if possible if u sale any
yes I do pm me on IG @elvyplants
Can I use honey instead of wax?
Not sure. Never try that 🙃
Very interesting. I like it.
Kim Rashad thank you!
Do you offer free shipping?
do you sell some of your Monstera?
I appreciate your video. Makes me feel better about the node cutting I just came across. My question is, my node cutting has 6 nodes, would you cut them down to one node each or leave the stem whole?
Marissa Lynette depends how long is your node. I feel more comfortable with at least 3” cut in case there’s rot after cut. Shorter the node mean more risk to fail.
Do you sell the plants online?
yes from time to time
Is half and half moon is more expensive?
yes it is. It is more rare than regula albo and it is lot more unstable.
@@Elvykiung I have an monstera albo with 3 leaves. First leaf has 10% variegation 2nd leaf has 3% variegation and the 3rd has 15% of variegation. Is this mean the more mature of the plant the more variegation it get? Please help I'm so new at this expensive obsession. 😍😉🌱
Do you sell cuttings of your Monsters Albo plant? I don't have Facebook so it's hard to join that group.
I do but I dont have any good one right now, all still rooting and the weather do no help at all 😭
Hi Elvy, Great propagation information! I was wondering, do you sell any albo cuttings? I would be interested..
yes I do
It's same as monstera variegata?
monstera variegate is general term, albo is the description on the plants for plant seller :)
Thank you so much!! I want one so badly! Do you sell your cuttings? Are you on Etsy?
Yes I do from time to time, I have etsy store and work on websit now
@@Elvykiung Name of your Etsy site please?
Are u selling cuttings
What is the Facebook group about philodendron?
I have the link under the description below :)
Why this plant soo expensive ?
A shop near me sells full grown for £65!
Oh my freakin goodness, they are soooo flipping gorgeous! Ahhhh! I can’t spend that much though on a plant lol
Do you have any cuttings for sale?
time to time :)
Thank you your video is very informative and helpful to me. I want to grow have you any cutting you can sell. I am in UK.
sorry no
Can you make a video on how to save a monster prop after it starts to rot
Hi, I love your monstera so so much. Can I buy a cutting from you?? Please 🥺
yes I do pm me on IG @elvyplants
