Propagating my THAI CONSTELLATION with a UNIQUE METHOD | Monstera deliciosa Thai Con

- Опубликовано: 9 дек 2022
- G'day, guys! Today, I chop up one of my most beautiful Monstera deliciosa Thai Constellations in order to sell some tip cuttings. I try out a unique method for propagating Monsteras, which I haven't seen done much online (I'm sure I'm not the inventor, though).
Connect with me on instagram - / petevsplants
So, we chop the tip cutting off this Thai Constellation first, and then repot it, and finally further subdivide the base of the plant so that we end up with the main base plant and its roots in the pot with 2 other rooted cuttings in the same pot with it. The idea being that 3 new shoots should sprout and they will each turn into potential mother plants that I can harvest more tip cuttings from in the future.
Let me know what you reckon!
Great video Pete Thai’s are my favourite plants but I can’t find the courage to chop mine! Thanks for the Bunnings trip I can’t wait to find a silver cloud in my tiny rural Bunnings soon
Thanks Kirsty! Yeah, there's something about them that's soooooo enticing, huh? The Silver Clouds keep popping up all over the place at the bunnings near me, so it will just be a matter of time.
An update on the cuttings you left all together would be awesome 👏 I hope we see it soon
Hehe will do soon. They've popped but not much else.
@@petevsplants7516 Was this ever made?
Seriously love how drastic they upsize each leaf! Your conditions for it seems perfect 😍
Hehe yeah, it's insane... Though I've got one that's done close to nothing for 6 months. I'm not sure what the issue is. Others seem to be going off.
I had mine directly under the Mother grow lights, and it was doing beautiful. The leave size doubled but I didn’t like the way the leaves were reaching up , so I made the change and put the grow lights in front of it, and so cool how the leaves turned facing front, which I love, but I have a leaf unfurling now and I think it’s gotten much smaller 😢😢😢
@@petevsplants7516 when this happens, only thing left to do is continue doing the same and hope for the best, or force cut a node or 2 to jump start a sleeping engine. At least that worked for me on 2 different plants. An Epi and a Monstera. Sometimes patience run out hahaha!
First time watching you, subbed immediately! You’re so fun, great pace in your vids! And the humour! ❤❤❤
Getting into the Thai game for Christmas. TC coming as a gift. The constant variation finally got me as well as the large form. I guess I have a couple years, but I think some Thai mixed in with my giant Deliciosa would be a show stopper.
You may want to order some disposable scalpels with a 22 or 24 blade. I just kept thinking Crocodile Dundee when you where cutting. “Now that’s a knife!”
Hahaha Let me know how you go with the TC. Yeah, I've got some scalpels, but they're a bit fiddly on something this big.
Just picked up a thai con about the size of these from bunnings, hoping to get enough growing to start selling em for cheap at the local markets.
Price has gone down to $225. ($211.15 with staff discount 🥸) Lady at the registers said the same thing to me about them not selling aha
Stem variegation is crazy, like a candy cane. They had creme brule too but i got me a half moon :33
Thais here are still pretty high. My 3 leafer was $375. It has given me 2 new leaves since then. I went to the nursery this morning. Same price but bigger specimens.
Interesting. Yeah, there's a local one near me that still has thais for $400 when I can find the same size ones for $200 or less in FB groups.
Love the energy Pete!! 😂☕️☕️☕️ I like coffee that’s strong enough to wake up my ancestors 🤣
This is a great video, I’ve recently gotten a Monstera Deliciosa cutting and propagating it in water. I’m excited to see the thick roots start to grow 🙌🙏🌱🚿🫙
Just found my new favorite plant RUclipsr 😂
Yay…more Alocasia s!🎉
Alocasias for the win!
Epic vid as usual. Very much in the fast lane. Got a request- can you do a video on air-pots?
“Scaring all the kids. Not cause they were afraid, just because they thought I was weird” 😂😂😂
Your reaction to that last large leaf es on point lol okayyyy alllriiiight lol
I just got a Thai con from my local greenhouse for $50 it's still rather small but putting out s new leaf in just a week! I'm so excited about watching it grow
According to @onlyplants there are new cured varieties coming down the pike from Thailand. Those plants with extreme speckled leaves were shown in one of his video tours of a large growing aroid farm. Very pricey too! Good luck with your propagations🌱
Yeah, they seem to get everything insane first via TC production.
I love watching your videos. It’s like seeing myself with the gardening but you are a much more experienced version. The videos are so real. Not everything is neat and perfect yet your experience and tip are helping. Its encouraging like it’s achievable, calm down. 🤣 love your humor as well. We are both the sort of trying and spending a good amount of money in tools, fertilizer, soil mixes. 🤣🤣🤣
We also have similar issue with watering, mostly. 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for sharing something realistic.
lol man I'm still learning loads each day... hahaha still consider myself a noob. I just rushed into the hobby and forced the experience I do have now on myself lol But I appreciate the compliment :D My pleasure, mate :D
Thank you for mentioning transpiration, that's the word that comes to mind every time i look at my Monster as it is persistently crying with teardrops accumulating at the very tip of the leaves. thought i must have hurt it at first but i have not cut into it as you do although i will do soon as it almost seems to be twinning with four large finustrated leaves separate from six young un's. thanks for your info from a fellow victorian.
Easier to remove the moss by soaking in a pot of water- less damage to the roots then trying to remove by hand.
I think all green looks better. Good thing, what I like better is cheaper.
It's definitely a lot kinder to your bank account!
wooww that second one is so pretty! mine took at least 8 months to grow again after propagation but it made me a bunch of money so it was worth it :) also i agree with the moss methods, for me the open cup etc versions just dry out too quickly! Great video, thank you
Roos! Omg, mate! I've watched your channel for ages :) Thanks for dropping by!
Love your videos! I am 408th XD
Hehe thanks mate!
😍😍😍
Thai is top of my wishlist atm. I'm hoping to afford a small one in the new year for the anniversary of 1 year of sobriety. Epipremnums are my #1 love, but the Monstera genus is a very close second. Aroids in general I'm quite mad for. I've recently gotten into Philodendrons. I started collecting again with goals of just building an indoor jungle again. I've always done well propping plants so eventually I'm hoping to recover some of my costs too. I'm limited in how much I can do coz disability, but even doing plan chores isn't work for me. I enjoy every minute of it. Unless I find pests! lol
I only found your channel last night and subbed after one video. I'm so rapt to have found an Aussie channel! TBF, I haven't really looked hard, I only returned to my indoor horticultural interested a few months ago.
Charcoal? First time I've seen/heard of someone using it for disinfection. Interesting. I'm going to have to learn more! I've always just used cinnamon from the spice rack. 😅
This video also motivated me to finally pull the pin on cloning my adansonii today. I've been procrastinating over it for a couple of weeks.
Wow, congrats on 1 year, Katt. And 100% agree re: plant chores. I have hours of them some days and it doesn't feel like work, just relaxation and fun :D
Glad you're enjoying the channel and thanks for subbing :)
Re: Thais, you can find pretty cheap ones in this group from time to time - facebook.com/groups/620600941736055
all the best :D
Congratulations on nearly a year of sobriety, I remember my dad going through it so I know how tough that is. Hope you get your Thai.
It's strange seeing you switching to with and without beard and with beard again day after day. So I guess this video was shot some time ago. Any updates yet?
Hehe indeed. Yeah, sold the tip cutting. The 3 divisions left in the pot have all popped their axiliary buds.
I love the store trips !! 😂 I know I can't put anything into the cart
haha yeah I'm trying to slow that down massively now
You just aged yourself with nickel back. No worries, I’m aging myself too. The best generation ever!
Those are sooooo beautiful. Wish I could have one but a full grown one is beyond my price range and after the year we've had being on and off quite ill they might be out of range for while (I'm not into selling my plants, I'm a keeper 🤣). You got very lucky bunnings had them! Wish you luck getting your money's worth for them.
I recommend getting one in baby or seedling form. Very satisfying growing from half a thumb size and seeing it grow! 🤩
Hehe yeah, get on ebay or the FB groups. You can find seedlings for
OMG what a super price . That's so crazy you got it for so cheap
Yeah, I know! I was stoked at the time. The prices have dropped even further now because the market's been flooded. So definitely a great time to get one.
@@petevsplants7516 ya I just got one myself, but paid 449 for one. It's pretty big with 4 leafs. First time I actually had the chance to get one so I had to jump on it. It's been the top wishlist plant for 5+ years
I thought I learned from Kaylee Ellen (not sure if your familiar with her) that ALL Thai’s are large form. Has anyone else heard that?
Yeah, they are.
Wish you would discuss your soil content ❤
I bought 2 Alocasia today. Dragon scale and cuprea
Hehe the Cupreas are SO fast (at least in my experience).
Hey 👋 hope you’re well, interested in possibly knowing more about what you’re fertilizing with your Thai cons look great 👍
Hey mate, just using a hydro A+B solution at half strength.
Thanks for the video, I love my Thai con😊. I’m looking at chopping it as well, it has 8 leaves now. I bought it 18 months ago for $325 and has very good variegation but find it browns up. Would be nice to see how they are doing now.
Nice one! Don't be afraid of the chop hehe especially if you've airlayered well.
So why did you repot? BTW love nickelback!
Ahh Pete please never change 😂 also please down a can of mother or similar before you record the next video. 😈 Looking forward to seeing how these babies go post chop!
Hehe cheers, mate :) I'll do my best. Man... I used to smash mother when I was at university back when it was more like ginger beer, then they totally changed things up. Will give updates soon :) Sold the tip of of this one already.
You are so funy😂👍
Haha cheers, Kim! Hope you're enjoying the content :D
Do you have yours under grow light? I have 3 Thais but omg they are slow...and now have an aurea too, but they are driving me insane how slow they grow have pretty much tried everything
Hey Joanne, yeah it's interesting, huh? I've got a bunch, most of which are pretty quick (1 leaf every 1-1.5 months) but then I've got another which I've had for 7 months now and it's done nothing. I don't get it... I've got them getting light indirectly from the shelves and from a west facing window.
I have both an Aurea and Thai as well. I have kept them both under grow lights.
@@marymiller5824 think I will put them in the grow tent and see if that will spur them on...
Wow, nice video, I learned a thing or two! You're the first plant guy to curse and asks God to damn it. What? Your plants? Hopefully He doesn't listen to that question. Please respect the Maker of the green things you adore. It'll make your videos friendlier.🙂🌿
G'day Pete, may I ask where you got your activated charcoal from please
Hey Sia, I found it on eBay :)
Awesome, thank you muchly for replying. Love watching Aussie RUclipsrs..lol
What fertilizer you use?
Large forms? Had a hard time hearing you the ruffles behind the leaves? What does all this mean? My Monstera has everything you’re mentioning. Plz Explain the large ruffles behind the leaves that are a dead giveaway? Thank you.
Hi! New follower here. I got one of this and is sick....full of rust :(
🐸🧦
sorry i'm late!
Hehe better late than never :P
What an amazing store
Soil mixture please 🙏🏾
There is a video here on youtube that answers why “everyone” hates Nickelback, basically it’s because the internet said so.😂
Hi Pete I would like to buy a Thai constellation if you have a spare one please ! Elisabeth
Hey mate, if you're in Aus, just send me a msg on instagram and we'll work it out :)
Use a paint brush with the charcoal 😂
Haha great idea! Hadn't thought of that :D
@@petevsplants7516 lol I have been bindge watching your show for Florida ghost info lol 😂 and have been meaning to tell you I work with children it’s the first thing that came to mind lol 😂
hehe hope you found some stuff here on them. :D
Where do you sell?
Hey Anna, no website yet, but will let people know when it's up.
Send me a node
Haha are you in Aus?
@@petevsplants7516 no. Lol United States. Texas. Lol.
Don’t use Gods name in vain
