im trying my first attempt in propagating my monstera and its going really well, it has some roots developing. It's been 3 weeks since I first cut it and I'm so excited to see my monstera ready to be planted. I change the water every week with filtered water and its going really well. I'm planning to but my monstera in a pot with a first layer of leca and on top of it the soil, so the plant will obtain the nutrients it needs and I will prevent it from overwatering with the first layer of leca
look up growing in LECA on youtube. Its an entire process, not difficult but a definite process. 'Im switching my plants over to Leca, its a type of passive hydroponics.
It’s good your Monstera seems to like the leca, however I have lost couple of plants to leca and have gone back to soil. the Pothos didn’t like it at all. And I did everything the pH check, the pH adjustment, everything
Love love the detailed guide & explanation. I watched too many videos and they are all using expensive mixture and fertilizers and i wasted a lot of money but all dying on me. I killed all my expensive plants (monstera albo, thai constellation, variegated banana musa, etc). Everyone are against miracle grow but my mom been doing gardening since forever and all of her plants are so full and huge and she just use regular dense soil from the backyard too because she didn't have a chance to go to the store to buy any expensive soil. I will just downgrading and using basic things now.
I know what you mean by people recommend to put wax on the cut. I think there is a confusion. You put wax on the motherplant that you cut from. By putting wax on the wound of the motherplant, you could prevent it from bacteria and drying.
Can't wait to see my cuttings grow, it was my birthday and since my Monstera Adansonii grew well I did it. I bought the overpriced cuttings. And totally worth it they looks so much cooler then the pictures.
Am really learning so much. I got my first plants about 3weeks ago and they almost died on me but I've been finding ways to revive them. I live in a country where indoor plants are not really a thing... But am really interested in indoor gardening especially those will do well in water. Thanks for sharing this infos.
@@teresabatongbakal9950 I got mine from Home Depot online but Amazon has them too. They are clay pebbles (leca) if you haven’t found where to buy them yet.
Beautiful plant! I purchased one from an online seller and it only has two leaves. I’ve never had plants in this type of media.. I may try it. Do you just top up when the level of water goes down? And how do you give the fertilizer with this method? Ty
Yup I only top up the water once it’s gone from the container. I use fertilizer sparingly during growing season (my plant is still young so I’ve not had any need for fertilizer just yet). You can use a diluted fertilizer mix every 2 months or so 😊
Please help. I bought a cutting online from a shop that had many great comments. Got it June 2, put it in filtered water. No roots yet but just now I noticed the leaves are starting to curl! Is there anything I could/should do? I've propagated many plants before but I'm at a loss with this one. Thanks ahead of time!
Hi! I think that Monstera is a Borsigiana, not a Deliciosa. Because it tends to be leggy; thus, it trails fast. Also, unlike the Borsigiana, Deliciosa's petioles grow next to each other. So they appear fuller than the Monstera Borsigiana. Both Monsteras look the same aside from: Borsigiana's leaves are smaller than the Deliciosa's. And as I have said earlier, they tend to trail more since they're leggy just like Monstera Adansonii.
I am new to my monstera, but there is a branch growing completely horizontal, way over to the side from the rest of the leaves...I bought a moss pole for my young monstera, what can I do about that horizontal branch? That horizontal growing branch also has other branches and leaves on it...I need help on deciding what I should do..I want it to grow healthy. Any help would be greatly appreciated..and I can send pictures to anyone if needed...great channel by the way! And your detailed advice is awesome!! Thank you!
I have Monstera but it is a different kind from all the videos I see. Mine doesn’t have the node on the leaves. It just has three big growths coming up about 2” in diameter each that the leaves come out of. I would like one in my back yard. But I don’t know where to cut it??
Thank you so much for this information! Very clean and concise😊 I have one question. What happens to the stem that the cutting is taken from? I have a monstera that is one single stem, would like to do a top cutting but afraid that there will be no new growth from the cutting point on the mother plant. Sorry if this sounds confusing I'm trying to explain it the best I can! 😅
I have a monstera that has been in leca for over a year and never did good, changed the leca and pot a few times along with lots of dead roots ,plant did not die but no matter what I did it was not ok Now I have just a few ready long thick shoot no roots and I am refusing to give up Water works great but only for some time , it's not a long time solution
Hi, I'm not sure if you will see this comment, but my baby monstera is about to die. It's my very first indoor plant and I don't really know how to take care of it. I was thinking of taking it out of the pot and propagating it in water without cutting the leaf because it literally only has one left now. I wonder if it's okay to do that and whether if it's going to work?
My Monstera plant isn’t putting off big leaves n split leaves like it use to. Should I cut top off? It was dropping leaves but I repotted it 2weeks ago n stoped dropping them now. It just don’t look as pretty as it did when I purchased it about a year n half! I have a plant light on it now also. Before it was in same room as my Orchids n I felt that light was enough. Any info you give me will help. What do you feed yours? Thank you 😊
What do you do for monstera deliciosa cuttings with 4 and a half foot long roots? Aerial roots. Took cuttings from a part with aerial roots, and even that small cutting is probably a good 6 feet around.
👍❤️🇨🇦 Hi good to know your Video; love your tree : when you Propagate in Clay have you see any food ply ? I mean small little black Soot , I love tree but plants in the Soils I find out to many black soot are small ply , thank you 🙏
Hi thanks for the video. I need help about my Monstera cutting that is growing in water. I see on the under water branch black and white things growing. I don't know what it is, I supposed it was fungus but I did not gind anything about this on the net.
Maybe try washing it off. If it’s root rot it’s usually black and mushy. Just run the roots under water and gently take off all the black spots. Hope that helps!
I started water propagation for couple month, but recently I experienced few mosquito flying around in my house which I’ve never seen in 3 years. Is there any help I can get to get rid of mosquitoes please? 😢
uhhh if you got flying mosquitos youre not changing your water nearly enough. Propogating plants should realistically have their water changed every 3 or 5 days to help change out the oxygen in the water. Still water is bad for plants and a magnet for mosquitos. Its the same reason fix tanks need to water be constantly in motion so the fishes are able to breathe.
Okay just to verify a couple of things. So once all the leica balls are in your container, you fill up approximately a quarter of the way with water? And then, when do you add new water? Do you wait till everything evaporates? And then it is my understanding that the roots are put in say halfway into the container since you don't want the roots setting in the water that you fill up?
Sounds like root rot. It’s best to start with a new cutting with a node and try again. Change the water every few days for the first 3 weeks and that should help. 😊 good luck!
The juvenile leaves don’t exist. According to another RUclips account, the leaves eventually will be pushed down by the newer, taller leaves over time.
Hi My name is saif I have plants that I put in water and they grow well Is it possible to keep it in water? Or transfer it to the soil? Is it possible for a plant to survive in water without rotting its roots?
I’ve had two cuttings of mine in water for about a year, one was in between dying for most of the year but just started growing new leaves, the other one has been healthy and has grown but very slowly compared to my friends who have them in soil. Watching these videos because it realise now how much more you get from the plants when putting them in soil. Good luck 💗
yeah but you don't want it in water for too long. of the roots are already substantial you should go to soil because the longer they are in water the harder it will be to adapt back
It's probably the same plant or a very closely related one. Monstera del can get HUGE!!! This method of propagating works for tons of plants that have nodes
Best time to propagate is early spring because the plant knows it’s time to grow. Autumn the plants are usually thinking it’s time to go dormant so you might not have as much luck, but if it’s indoors and warm or you have a sort of greenhouse area (you can just make a glass cabinet with grow lights and a humidifier) then definitely you can propagate during autumn. Hope this helps 😊
One of my monstera stems broke, it doesn't have any air roots by it :( Is it possible for it to grow roots in water? Or should I just let it pass away slowly? :(
Usually without a node it can’t develop new roots but I’ve heard of miracle stories where roots sometimes grow from a stem without a node. Maybe try putting some rooting hormone and see if it does 😊
I cut right at the node 😞 it’s been almost two months I see nothing. Wrong season and wrong place to cut. It’s got big leaves so I don’t want give it. Lesson learnt.
When do you know the plant is ready to be transplanted? I have some roots after keeping a cutting in water for about one month, but they are a bit smaller than yours :)
It’s day three of my monstera deliciosa water propagation. The roots still has not grown out yet/ can’t be seen. Is that normal? How long do u expect to start seeing roots growing. If there is no roots growing, is it an issue and how to we resolve it.
Hi! I just got my Monstera deliciosa yesterday and do not worry. It usually takes a minimum of three weeks for the roots to grow out. Since I’m going for water propagation as well, I’m pretty excited. Be sure to change the water once a week and place the plant in an area receiving lots of indirect sunlight, you’re good to go!
Thank you so much for this video! Haven't discovered Leca before today and i shall look to purchase some for my newly adopted Monstera. Much love from Malaysia! Question, say if my Monstera's aerial root is trimmed a couple days ago, is it safe to still cut it off from the mother root plant and propagate it in water? It was trimmed as it was sticking to the wall where it was attached to. 2nd question, Malaysia doesn't have 4 seasons, so that means the plant doesn't go into a dormant stage right? Meaning i can apply fertilizer any time of the year?
Thanks for watching 😊 yes still safe to cut it off from mother plant as long as you cut a stem with a node. Also Malaysia has wet and dry season - plants usually grow during the dry season when it’s sunnier, (wet season plants are more dormant) so best to fertilize then 😊
@@EricabyDesignlastly, what if i just dunk them aerial roots into water without cutting them off from the mother plant? Will that allow them to grow new roots?

Exactly. I noticed this too.
Genetically they are both the same.
@devinsnow1351 not true. They are distinct cultivars, hence why they have a different growth pattern.

Okay just to verify a couple of things. So once all the leica balls are in your container, you fill up approximately a quarter of the way with water? And then, when do you add new water?

Yup, quarter way filled with water, then once the water level goes down to just about dry that’s when I’ll water again. 😊
When when i did it to my mondtera the root became soft soggy smell bad and eventually the leaf become dry yellow and dead?
Sounds like root rot. It’s best to start with a new cutting with a node and try again. Change the water every few days for the first 3 weeks and that should help. 😊 good luck!
