Using my ceiling fans has helped enormously in keeping my plants from staying too wet. I moved from a dryer state to a more humid state and struggled to keep the plants from drowning. I amended my soil, and started buying terracotta pots at thrift stores. Life is good!!!
great strategies
I just recently started using my ceiling fans also, it's been so humid lately that all my terracotta have been growing fuzzy mold lol
My monstera grew sideways and toppled over so started looking up what to do, found your channel and binged like half of it. Genuinely helpful and chill content.
Glad you're enjoying it! thanks.
What was the solution? I don’t even know where to start watching
i just repotted my monstera and now i see the error of my ways
same!
I’m a moron, but they seem forgiving. Good luck 😂
Have a coffee! You just saved my monstera. It was in too large a pot and had root rot, even though the top of the soil was dry. Now repotted and doing better. Thank you!
I just downsized my pots I hope by doing that my monsteras will grow and be happy
I did find a cheese plant at the garden centre for 50p i was on death door ..but thanks to your advice it as happy as a plant can be sitting in my window with the aloes and the yukka
great job!
I always learn something new from your vids! Thanks for sharing Lee!
I just repotted my monstera the other day, it gets tons of light but growth is slow so I'm hoping it does better with some fresh soil. :)
Greetings from another Torontonian! You’ve taught me so much about monsteras. People now come to my office to see the growth/progress I’m making with it.
I learned most of my Monstera care tips from you! ❤️
this was just the time, my dad was going to change the pot TODAY, thx
I would say you don't want to press everything down(soil), because you DO want air pockets. You want nice little air pocket humidity zones throughout your medium ideally. The roots love em
thats fair, small air pockets; good. large pockets of roots touching no soil drying them out and having them die off; bad.
Seeing as how much we love your advice it would be a lot fun if we could give each other advice in jokes only. Some puns, some knock knock jokes. Maybe your plant jokes. Viewers can send some in but other RUclipsrs can pitch in too if they’re inclined.
I am so guilty of this! I have been thinking about uppotting my monstera for a few weeks.
Thanks for all the great information! I'm starting with my first monstera and have found this channel super helpful!
Yikes...i checked...got a full pot of Ramen and Udon size roots. 😮 thanks for the heads up!
If the roots push out through the bottom i just pull the plant higher out of the soil
this can work too!
Thanks for sharing!
It looked to me like she and you were using different phone apps for light reading, they're wildly inaccurate but using the same app would at least yield comparable results, different phone apps completely nullify the numbers. Still, your down to earth approach is useful and appreciated, as always. I've seen way too many plant channels turn into the typical RUclips "latest hack" type.
thank u for this video! i was just about to repot my baby monstera lol
Great video! Very well explained!
My monstera is a 2 meter high monster and I'm still scared to take it out and splitt it, mo matter how many awesome video's of you I watch. 😅 Greetings from the Netherlands
Once roots come out the bottom I repot. Monstera gets bigger with large pots.
my leaves keep yellowing its odd not over watered either or root rot
Why shouldn't there be any air pockets in the soil? I use a chunky mix for my aroids and the goal of it is to have more air for the roots. My E. N'joy is in a clear pot and I can see the roots growing through the air pockets
how are monsteras with air pruning? the cloth or porous containers with holes
How do you know if you should be adding support for your monstera? the growth on mine seems pretty normal and contained but im not sure if at some point i should add some kind of support for the plants benefit.
Adding support sooner is better as controlling the growth direction becomes more difficult as the plant gets larger.
Awesome info 💚💚👍🏽👍🏽
Does that 80-90% root volume rule apply to other aroids or just monstera?
It’s a safe bet with most other aroids.
I repotted my monstera just today! And now I hope I haven't sentenced it to death... 😮
It had about 5% soil left and was leaning so much, even with its support stake, that it was starting to make the round plastic pot oval.
I have probably killed it because I chopped off a few of the biggest roots and separated off a baby (putting it in its own pot). I then put it back in the same pot with the same wooden support.
I should have done it into terracotta. Oops.
that is concerning. why did you chop off some roots? were they dying?
@@KillThisPlantno they were wound around, right up against the edges of the pot inside. It was one of those self-watering pots and the roots had gone through the holes and taken up the entire space inside the watering base too.
Edited to add that those roots inside the base of the pot had no soil whatsoever and were drying out. I had to cut the roots off to separate them from the base.
I now think self-watering pots are not good for monsteras so I will go get a traditional terracotta pot.
@@grooviechickie ok. Hope it goes ok. Check the light levels.
@@KillThisPlant thanks darlz. I feel a bit panicked still but she's next to the brightest window, next to us (her favourite humans), living her best life. ❤
@@KillThisPlant she lives! All is well. Thank you for your support. ❤
thanks for sharing
Great content. Thanks for sharing. What's the name of the app you are measuring the light with, please?
@Kill This Plant your monstera is naked 😮
don't look
They like to be a little rootbound
they tolerate being 100% rootbound better than other plants.
Is there a plant light (sun, to check lighting)
you can get a light meter device or free app to check lighting levels. Anything is fine
How come you use a mosspole, when you've educated us to instead use planks
I think its more Lee has shown us that in a lot of cases moss poles's benefits do not outweight its hassles (it drying out constantly, not easily stackable, etc). But if you want a climbing plant to mature and grow, a miss pole has a slight advantage over it (especially if you want to propagate it later since youre essentially air layering it as it grows).
He mentions this monstera is a reverted mint, which is a very desirable plant to collectors, so this might be why hes going with a pole this time
The pole I used isn't moss, its filled with coco coir. I like the way it looks and they're modular so i can extend it when its ready.
How does the algorithm know wtf. I am taking your advice ahah
Hmm. Is food? If not food, then why delicious? 🤔
Your hands look so smooth.
they aren't
👀
Can you go back down in pot size? I think I went up too fast and I think I should repot in a smaller pot. Is that OK?
@@AutismDrMom yes. You can go back down
Do all plants like to be root bound? What about succulents?
no, not all plants like to be rootbound. most would grow faster and larger by not being root bound. Plants have different levels of tolerance for being rootbound. succulents tend to have fine, shallow roots, so they don't need to be repotted often.
I repotted my monstera into a pot with a self watering spout at bottom. There is a thick string, almost soft rope at bottom to draw water up. Is this a good pot for my monstera?
your Monstera can live in a self watering pot. they're not ideal, but if you have a good soil mix it can work. or if youre doing a pon medium, that can work.
Has anyone tried Molly’s Airoid mix on Amazon?
what app did you use to see how much light an area gets? i have a medium sized Monstera aurea and want to make sure that it’s happy
@@TeaRose100 whatever is free and has good ratings. A real light meter is always more accurate
What’s the name of the app shown in the video 3:40? Thanks
Greetings from Italy
I think it’s just called “light meter” on iPhone but anything that’s free and has good ratings is fine.
80-90% of pot? who said that? the plant?
I killed a large monstera by re potting it. the root system was minimal and it rotted in no time.
😩
What do you recommend for plant pole ?
Plastic backed or full wire moss pole kept consistently moist. Or if ya can't be bothered keeping it moist at all times anything will do
Anything stable. For large form Monstera I don’t recommend moss poles.
Small pot restricts it's growth. If you don't want it to grow...
Is Dima really a she? It's a common male name
Yes, I asked.
