@5:51 sheeshkibab! Looook at those roooots!😯🤩
OMG that Albo!!! So pretty!!!
Welcome back! That Albo is a beauty. So healthy looking. Thanks for the video.
Thank you! ☺️
Thank u so much I saw so many videos and honestly I like your Chanel you seem very cool and I appreciate all the advice you give on all your plants it’s very helpful and thank you again for the quick response 👍🏼💪🏼
Thank you for sharing. I hope my cutting will look like your beauty in the next few months.
wow that beautiful albo is one of my wishlists! Need to sell my kidney to afford that plant hahahah
She cute right? You’ll make it happen someday (but keep your kidney)! 😂🙏🏼
Yeah they are expensive these days! I’m happy I got the two I have before they got more expensive!
Yes they’re getting insane! How much did you get yours for? I got my single leaf cutting with lots of roots for $200 USD 💸💸
@@SuchPlants i got a 2 leaf cutting for $150 and a full 6 leafed plant for 800 cutting not rooted but the 6 leaf was fully rooted its also a top node
@@SuchPlants here in the Philippines $1600 USD for 5 leaves
You have a really good eye it looks beautiful
Can you tell me the systemic granules you used?
Omg😍😍😍im in 💖💖 amazing video.
❤ thx a lot
Thanks for the video,love from india
Thank you for watching! ☺️
how long till u get that amount of roots? mine has been on water for 2months and still minimal roots? can u suggest something to make rooting fast? thanks
It was rooting for about 3 months. They were sitting near my south facing window getting a lot of bright, indirect light, sometimes a few hours of direct sunlight filtered thru the window. The bright light is key. Also making sure to change the water weekly. You can try adding a couple drops of Superthrive in the water with each water change.
Hello, today I transfer my monstera albo from water to soil. I was bought it almost 1 year ago in clay ball and I put it into the water with clay balls. it grows roots well in it. and it gave an air root also, then it starts to give a new leaf but I am waiting for almost 4 months for it to grow and it didn't. Today I realize that it's roost are rotting in the water, so I decided to transfer it to soil. Will there be any problem? I am ssoo affraid to loose her!
Uh oh! Hopefully you cut off all the root rot before potting in soil. The soil must be chunky and you should only water thoroughly when soil is almost completely dry. If you water too soon, you may increase the chance for root rot again. This plant doesn’t mind being dry.
If you are brave enough, you can try to save the new leaf/aerial root by taking a cutting!
@@SuchPlants Yes I did cut off the rot roots, infact when I tried to take off the plant from the old pot, they all fall off. But the air root was darker, I didn't cut it off. cause it seems it is alive :)
I gave her the first water cause I know it is important but I will try to take her outside today so she can dry. cause I don't have the tropical soil mix so I can't change it again :(
@@SuchPlants okay, now I listened to you and cut the rot air root off and you were right! it was in very bad condition. hope the other roots will be enough to keep it alive :(
Now I have another question :) I have another cutting (from the top) It roots well in water and clay balls. But I realize that it has a yellow and brownish part on the umm how can I tell... between the stem and the place where new leaves should come. it's not pregnant, there is no sign of new coming leaves. so I am not sure to took it off the water and put to the soil. what should I do? :( since these are albo, I am so affraid to make a mistake. even though I bought them as cuttings, it was still expensive..
Sometimes yellow and brown spots are normal and the new leaf will come out flawless. As long as the roots look healthy, and you are changing the water weekly, and giving bright indirect light, you should be ok! Top cuttings are fun to watch grow!
@@SuchPlants thank you so much! you saved my precious girls! :)
What do I do if I have a 5 node cutting and it has roots on one side and like 5 new leaf buds? I’m afraid to put them all under soil if anyone has advice please help me on how to pot this up.
Beautiful plant just bought for myself also😍
Thanks for the informative video. I have a question about Moss poles. If you use a small pole for a young plant, what happens as the plant grows if the poll isn't the kind that can be extended? Also eventually when the plant gets much larger can a different pole be used?
Moss poles are beneficial because it helps a plant grow upright, especially vining plants. Most plants grow bigger quickly if grown upright. But it is extra beneficial if the aerial roots can also grow into the moss pole. It’s difficult if your environment is not humid enough. You can extend the pole if it is designed to extend, or simply switch it for a longer pole, being careful to not damage the aerial roots if they have grown into the pole. It also doesn’t have to be a pole, it can be literally any vertical surface! 😁
Hi did everything work out after you repotted? Did the plant remain healthy?
I have since combined the cuttings into a bushy pot of soil. Then it went dormant for months and months and just recently started pushing growth again 😁
@@SuchPlants Thank you ok! Today is the day I take the cuttings from the fish tank to soil after four months wish me luck💗🌱
I have Questions, I just bought 3leaf cutting with 1 air root, what should I do to keep it alive should I just put it in the water .? Please
Yes you can put it in water and set it in bright, indirect light. Change the water once a week. You should see signs of root growth in 1-2 weeks! ☺️
Beautiful!
Thank you! ☺️
So once you have roots are you able to put the stem in the dirt and it won’t cause rot?!
I would still try to keep the stem above the soil as much as possible to avoid any chances of rot. If your soil mix is chunky enough, the stem will do fine partly in the soil since the chunky soil should dry quickly at the top.
Hi thanks for the videos they’re very clear. I just got sent a syngonium Albo stem cutting with one leaf. I’m trying to work out what to do it was supposed to be fully rooted :/ I haven’t done this before !! Is it important for the top end of the stem to be above the water line ? Please help it cost a lot considering it’s not a full plant would be v grateful thank you Abigail
Hi there! Congrats on your new cutting! Generally speaking, you want the aerial root to be below water. The top end of the stem prefers to be above water because it can have a tendency to rot if exposed to water. So it’s best to avoid it. However, if the top end has calloused, then it can be under water just fine. Good luck!
That’s so nice of you to answer .. you know when you look and look on the internet and can’t find an answer to your specific question. So big thanks have subscribed and liked ! I know every little helps 🌝
If you ever decided to do international giveaway... that stem of an albo would survive 🙃
Believe me, I have thought about it real hard! I really wish I could, but I don't think my plants are ready quite yet. Someday I will do an albo international giveaway though! Maybe when I reach 1k subs hehe. That's partially why I propagated it in the first place! However, I still do have a giveaway planned for my international peeps real soon 😋... just not a live plant for now 🥺
@@SuchPlants I will wait 😬🥺... Because I want a mature and strong mother to give out a strong stem. 😌
I am thinking of chopping and propping mine. How are your other soil props doing?
Soil transplants are doing well. They’ve pushed out 2 new leaves each. I’m thinking about combining all of them into one pot for maximum bushiness 😆
@@SuchPlants omg that's amazing, I'm getting inspired to do the same. How about the ones in this video (from water to soil)? I am also considering perlite propagation...
The ones in this video are growing nicely as well. It took a few weeks for them to push out new growth. One of them pushed out a small leaf with like 80% solid white 🤭. The soil, however, developed some soil mites. Not really harming the plant, but that’s the main reason I want to repot it. I haven’t tried perlite propagation but I’ve heard lots of good things about it. Let me know how it goes! 😁
@@SuchPlants Oh no! hope the white one gives you green again. I'm gonna have a number of nodes to experiment with so I'll let you know!
the variegated monstera are expensive! Like $1000 for one! Where did you get yours?
I got mine from a Facebook seller a few years ago. Well-rooted single leaf cutting for $200 USD.
@@SuchPlants I have also heard that in time they lose their variegation, but with yours, it has not! Good to know.
Any update on the albo ?
Yes! Check out my albo playlist 😉
Do the leaves get more varagated over several weeks after unfurling? I have a half moon that just opened 1/2 darker green and 1/2 a lime green. My plant has yellow variegation so i’m wondering if I might see some changes in the leaves with time?
In my experience with my albo, the leaves will unfurl with white and light green, but only the light green will eventually darken. In your case, there is less chlorophyll in the lime green so you can expect the darker green to get darker and the lime green to remain lighter. The lime green might even get lighter. I have a syngonium albo that sometimes unfurls with a very light green that eventually turns white. But I’m not sure how yellow variegation develops. Keep me posted! 😆
What size pot is that? I am about to combine two cuttings into one pot and I want to know how wide it should be. Thanks!
This one is about 6”. Two cuttings in a pot will look really good! ☺️
Hey bro I had a question I just got a mid cutting I know it’s not the best cut I was wondering do I use a lot of water in the jar or just the root and not the cut stem in the water?
Congrats on getting a cutting! If you are able to, only expose the root to the water. Keep the stem above water. With some cuttings, you have no choice but to put both root and stem in the water. In my experience, the stem will be okay if under water; you will just need to keep the water clean and change the water at least once a week. 👍🏼
Sorry to bother again I wanted to know one more thing do u think I really need a humidifier for my plants ??? Will it help??
The short answer is yes, it will definitely help! If you’re still on the fence, get a hygrometer so you know what your typical humidity level is indoors. Most homes are around 40% relative humidity which seems to be OK for most plants (in my experience it’s still not enough for sensitive plants that love high humidity). The magic number seems to be anywhere from 60% to 75%. Any higher than that you could be dealing with mold, so a fan for extra air circulation will help keep the mold away. It also depends on the machine and how much area it can cover. Hope this helps! 😆
My humidifier is set to maintain 50% humidity, mostly because I’m trying to save water-it uses water fast! I’d like to keep it at least 60% but then the tank goes empty overnight. My philodendron pink princess is right next to my humidifier at 50% and it still has trouble unfurling nicely so the tips of the leaves always have tears! If you experiment with it, you’ll see what works best!
Thank u so much brother I appreciate all the advice u have given me so far sorry if I’m a pain I’m just learning as I go I’m very grateful that u are helping me out on my questions
did you waited for the end to callus over or stuck it straight in water?
I did let the ends callous over for a few hours and they went straight into water just fine.
So informative 💎 Thank You 😎
Thank you for watching! ☺️
Gorgeous variegations! I killed a half moon cutting last year and would like to try to grow again. Do you sell any of your cuttings?😉I live in San Diego Ca.
Awwwwww 😢 currently I am not selling my cuttings 🥲 I hope you have a second chance with a new cutting tho!
@@SuchPlants 😭
Do u hv anyone taking care of ur plants while u r away or do u prep them before leaving? If u do prep them im interested to know how u do it😊
I highly recommend you get someone experienced with plants to take care of them. The day before my vacation, I gave my plants a good drink of water and closed the window blinds so they wouldn’t dry up as fast. Good thing is that the soil would stay moist longer. Bad thing is they didn’t get a lot of sun (my grow light was still scheduled to turn on 12 hrs a day so they weren’t completely in the dark). I also had my humidifier running the entire time with the room door shut. So ultimately a humid, shady environment. I found that this was really good for only a week before things started worsening-yellowing/falling leaves, too humid, etc. The second week I instructed my plant sitter to open the window blinds and water the plants that had dried up. Things slowly got better. Only about 3 plants really suffered. This is why I would highly recommend someone who is experienced with plants! 😅 Hope this helps! I should do a video on this for my next vacation 🤔 There are really helpful videos other people have made on this subject as well!
@@SuchPlants yep a vid really helps. Some vids i found are from diff climate so i tried to gather as many tips as possible😊 im in malaysia, the climate kinda similar with hawaii
Malaysia! I have to visit someday. Yes, different climates will have different solutions. In tropical climates, you might be able to just put the plants outside and just have someone make sure they have enough sun and water 😂😅
@@SuchPlants true😅 once i take them inside they become divas, very hard to please🤣
@@Sarah-qj6tu I’m jealous! I can’t put anything outside in Vegas unless they are specific types of cactus 🥺
❤️❤️❤️

Honest question: Why do you transplant things into soil? If you can grow something in water, you avoid all the plagues, you dont have to water it, and they keep growing anyways
Good question. I think growing in water is great but not ideal if you have 100 plants. Even if you change the water weekly, there is still build up inside of the container, and you would have to take each pot to the sink to scrub them down. That’s a lot of work for every plant! I already skip water changes on my water props 😅 Water also doesn’t provide all the nutrients a plant needs and adding fertilizer can sometimes encourage unwanted bacterial growth if not maintained regularly. As long as there is no pests, growing in soil is more low maintenance in my opinion.
@@SuchPlants I dont know about monsteras (im doing the experiment right now). But I havent changed the water of my pothos in 6-4 months, and they are growing like crazy. I make sure that they rest in transparent glass pots, so the roots can get light too. I had the problem that putting the roots in opaque containers would make them start rotting.
@@kirnobi6974 some plants do better in water than other plants. Pothos are such fast growers and can grow in so many different conditions. But just because it “grows” in water, it doesn’t mean the plant is “thriving”. Most likely, your pothos in water will never achieve its fullest potential. If you want the biggest leaves, like they are in the wild, they need more than just water. Their aerial roots eventually find their way into the soil where they get so many nutrients from worms and other organic matter plus rain water. It also takes years to achieve those huge leaves in their natural habitat. So yes, plants can “grow” in water, but it doesn’t mean they will “thrive”. ☺️ In the end, it’s your plant and you can do whatever you want with it lol. I’m happy for your pothos and I hope your monstera is happy too! 😁
@@SuchPlants Thank you very much for your answer. I will try to keep half of them in substrate to compare :)
Do you sterilize your soil?
I normally don’t. But my last bag had a bunch of lacewings or springtails or something so I dried it outside completely in the sun for a couple of weeks and that took care of that problem.
Subbed. Lost so much $ on albos
Welcome to the channel! I’m sorry about your albos 😢 Hopefully if there’s a next time, my videos will help a little! ☺️
