Propagating a giant monstera deliciosa with air layering.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 июл 2024
- In this episode, I cut up my giant Monstera deliciosa and document the entire process so you can see if from start to finish. This is my first time cutting up such a big plant, as you can see I am pretty nervous with the process as it is completely different than cutting up smaller plants with thinner stems and longer internodes. I cheated a bit in this video by air layering the plant (this method works for ALL your aroids too) to ensure near 100% success with propagation. Come along!

I love this video with all the updates! You have completely spoiled me for any other RUclips garden podcasts. I can’t stand watching their videos when they don’t have updates! 😅
Haha I set out to do this channel precisely because theres lack of care info for the cuttings and parent plant as well as updates. 😀
@@onlyplants q
It's called a saucer 😉
Also, it's so rewarding to see the updates in one video. Thank you 🙌🏽
I admire the effort and determination you put in every video of yours!! I always learn from your experience and plant wisdom Sean!! Thank you!!!
Thank youuu
I love that you give multiple updates so that I can see the progress and know what to expect when I do it. Great video.
You’re amazing, especially with how long your videos span! What an asset to the plant community!
Thank youu 🙈🙈
Wow the new 🍃 is absolutely beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing the update. Just Love this kind of video. Clear and precise on each stage progress. Love and love.
😀😀
Great video, even a year later and helped me propagate a friend's plant so I can have one 😁 love the suspense!!!
😀
one of may favorite plant so glad you have vid for that monster!
Need to start doing this w/ my mom's monstera cause its singular stem is getting so ridiculously thick 💀 Thank you for this very helpful video! Will go and convince my mom to propagate her plant now 🫡
What a lovely Monstera....
Thank you....Sean. Stay safe.
Thank you, stay safe too!
I learn something each time I watch you videos thank you 😊
You can make a cutting from the yellow damaged leaf, when new roots and new node, you can cut of.. And you have a new healthy plant...
I have Covid and I’m stuck at home recovering and your videos are my saving Grace!!! Thank you!!!
Whoaaaa get well soon. Hope you had protection from the vaccine.
You are so down to earth ... That is why you have so many followers you are just like us, ur one of us, and that is why it makes your channel different and so amazing to watch . Thank you for being such a great and excellent professional teacher. You are one of a kind we wish you nothing but success..❤️💨🙏
Thank you 😀
Beautiful Monstera. I wish I lived in a place big enough to have one. Loved the video.
OMGoodness! What a gorgeous Monstera you have, Shaun. Monstera's are one of my fav plants, so I thoroughly enjoyed this video, thanks for the great updates you took the time to produce. I really like your content and your cute laugh. Be blessed, my dear!!😇
😅 thank youu
This video was incredible!! I am so nervous to cut my monstera, its from the 1970s, I'm going to try air layering instead of proping in water. Thank you so much for this!!!
Yaye! Good luck!
Ahhh! Thank you for this video! Just what I was looking for! I have a huge monstera like this and it needs to be cut and repotted. Great video!
See if you can root them before propagation. Big/thick stems like these are very easy to rot in propagation. 😀
What a beautiful plant 🌱!!! 😭😭😍😍😍 they updates were WELL appreciated!! 👏🏾👏🏾 great and informative video. Well done and thank you 🙏🏾
😀😀
Yay, right on the DOT! yahoo! Am definitely looking forward to this video! Thanks
❤️❤️
Thank you .Really appreciate all the hard work you put in your videos. I am always looking forward to see the updates.
😀
Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing plants
Amazing!! Nice job!
Thank you
I feel like this video should be called 'The evolution of Monstera' 😂 I love multiplying plants, honesty this is my favourite video of yours. Take care
If I had half the organization, patience, interest, and discipline to film consistently for idk 6 months, remember where I saved the footage, edit, record timelines, and not find a new exciting project to jump on... I'd be doing far better in life tbh
Which is a wordy, round about way to say 😍😍😍😍 you're amazing
Haha thank you. The dates are automatically in the file so I dont actually have to label or remember anything haha.
lol "...for suspense" yes, that was stressful haha I ended up skipping through the video to see how to propagate monstera that doesn't yet have air roots. Your plants are gorgeous!!!
Haha thank you 😀
For those without aerial roots, water propagation would be advisable
It’s gorgeous! Thank you for sharing this
Awesome video. Thank you for being having quality content!
So beautiful cant wait for mine to get leaves like yours.
I've just discovered you today and I'm LOVING watching your video's, so informative, easy to understand and you as a person are SO LOVELY
Haha thank youu and welcome to the channel 🙌🏻
Thanks for the great video, very timely i'm going to do the same with my large form once the new leaf hardens grows the internode and pushes out a root, i would do the previous internode but the root is already a metre long. It has been growing away from the mosspole but the stem is so thick and willfull there is no pushing it back, its a beautiful plant but honestly it belongs in a botanical gardens not my bedroom!
Haha its definitely a plant that can outgrow the space you intend for it 😅
Love it monstera💚❤️☘️
Bro buried the whole plant under soil. I bet it still thrives for him given the conditions in Jakarta 😂
🙈🙈
Nice helpful video came right in time as I have a monstera delicious exactly the same size 😝
I always like how you insert the preview scene of the next video at the end of every episode 😁😁👏🏻👏🏻🥰
my forever favorite plant ever!!
Great video, I just bought a monstera yesterday, hopefully mine will look as good as yours. I have a monstera adasonii that has really taken off so keeping my fingers crossed. I noticed your shingle vine, it is amazing!!! I bought one over a year ago, at the time it was about 12" tall. The tag said they only get about 4'-5' tall. Hmm, I've already had to put a taller board 3 different times. Last one was in October and I have about 12" left on that board. I'm 5'2" and it's taller than I am. You definately have the perfect growing conditions.
🥰
You are talented. I think I am going to try this with some propagation bulbs because I have no idea what I would be doing if I use plastic.
Thank you. And good luck 😀
i got my giant monstera from my sister and ive been so nervous about it as its grown bigger than me but its all wonky and leaning to one side as i had a lot of trouble remembering to keep turning it, but its taken one whole corner of my bedroom due to its wonky self, so crossing my fingers i can manage to get some roots with your tips and claim back my bedroom corner without damaging it as it means alot to me
Good luck 😀
5:39 oo yeah. Flex it, daddy!
Now I know why you're not fastforwarding this scene.
😆
I see this grows the same way my philodendron tree grows.
Always beautiful foliage collections Sir 🥰🥰
🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@onlyplants 🥰🥰🥰
I have a big monstera in a pot at my front door. I bought 3 tiny plants in a sale bin at the department store for $2.50 each, and potted them together. They were about 6 inches tall. It’s now growing really well in filtered morning light. Have repotted it once in the 3 or 4 years I’ve had it. I think I might try your propagation method. But like you I have no idea where I will put it!
Haha the problem is always space right 😅 I have 15 cuttings of monsteras going now and I have no idea where to put them… i might end up gifting them
This is a very good tip! I've been into monsteras for a while now and recently managed to get my hands on a Thai Constellation, it has developed an air root so I was thinking of this video but replacing the pot of soil with sphagnum D; wish me luck!
Thai constellations are a little bit harder than this, as they take longer to root and push out new shoots. Be extra careful not to overwater them when propagating 😀
Fantastic review
Thank you ❤️
It's large form. Wow
😃😃
thank you for this! i always wonder if the mother plants reverts to juvenile form how long it would take to go back to large form, very informative video! you are bless with four groups weather that help all this plants grow like they are on drugs!!!! hahaha thank you for creating this type of content enjoy every minute of it!
😀😀
💚
My favorite plant lol
Always enjoy and love to watch your videos❤️ i have been into monstera deliciosa mode since march this year.. i have about 10 monsteras !!!i hope they give me huge and beautiful leaves like your plant.. do you feed them with a specific plant food?? Thanks sean and looking forward to your next video 🙏
I fertilize them the same with all my houseplants. Natural and chemical fertilizers every 2-6 months, very diluted. (I dont measure my nutrients but I always use very small amounts
Those are beautiful, I have 2 of these as well that are about 4 ft tall each, can’t wait for them to look like this! And I hope this isn’t personal but what does the tattoo AWIE with the arrows mean on your left arm? Looks dope😎🤙🏼
Its the initials of my siblings and I, also its my dads Chinese name 😀
Anyone else notice the foreshadowing with the pilea at the end of the vid after he said “see you In the next video?”🤔his next video is about pileas😂
Haha yes. All my videos hint the next episode at the end!
Has anyone ever propagated a very large monstera deliciosa and has made a lot of mid cuttings? When the mid propagations started pushing out new leaves, how big were the new leaves and how long did it take for mid propagation to start pushing out huge leaves again?
To catch up to the original sized leaf… Probably 9-12 months
ok ok LAST question, Have you ever considered selling a start of these huge beautiful mature monsteras? I would buy!!! I feel like if I could actually just get my hands on a huge mature start, it would blend great with my plant well and I would FINALLY have the ENTIRE reason I got the plant!!!
These are super expensive to ship due to size haha. They are actually quite inexpensive if you find larger/landscaping plant nurseries in your area
Haha i can relate to the problem of where you would put a new plant
I love these updates so much. You don’t leave us without updates like many other channels!!
Just one quick question, is this a Monstera deliciosa? Mine doesn’t have the holes in the centre, but only the splits, if you know what I mean. I don’t know if it’s because of the variety or my conditions. Could you please have some tips about the fenestrations? Thanks!
Mine is the deliciosa. You can tell its a deliciosa when it has frills on the back of the leaves right at the top of the petiole, but only on more mature leaves. For younger leaves its hard to tell. Do dM me with pics if you are confused.
Fenestrations come when the plant is mature and when it feels that its successfully climbed onto something, they need to root into a wall (or in our case a moss pole)
@@onlyplants OH thanks for the reply! Mine is about one year old, the oldest leaves don't have splits at all, only the newer ones have splits, but not holes. So after your explanation, I think mine is still too young, the cane/stem doesn't have the aged stump look yet. I staked it on a moss pole though, so what I will do is just wait.... I don't know how to make DMs on RUclips, I will check your Instagram then. Thank you again!
Hi, you might not see this comment as this video is some months old. But first thank you for making so much good, fun and educational content! Love your videos 🙂
Living in Norway it is certainly exotic to watch!
I have a rather big monstera with big leaves with secondary fenestrations in the top but the bottom of the plant is very thin. However there are som aerial roots already going down into the pot. Do you think it would be OK to cut below these since they already probably has good roots in the pot?
I would love to have a more compact plant but keep the big beautiful leaves.
Yes you can. It will slow down the growth of then plant. Is it climbing up a wall or pole?
Do consider upsizing the if its root bound. And perhaps you can also propagate to keep the top cutting down to the bottom of the pot. Let it start over but starting with big leaves. Usually large leaves grow new ones every 4-6 months.
@@onlyplants Thank you very much. Yes it is growing up a pole. I will check the status of the aerial roots going into te pot/soil and hopefully I can cut the top and get a plant starting with the large beautiful leaves 🙂
👍great🙏
I also divided my monstera, I did it in march (fall in southern hemisphere) but they are taking so long to get new leaves... I can't wait for spring for them to receive heat and more light :) i really like monsteras. My dream is to have a thai constellation, but They are very hard to find. I think that in my country they do not exist LOL thanks for sharing your knowledge. take care!
A beautiful and healthy monstera. Keep on propagating.....from Phil.
Have someone send you one.
Thank you for this very informative video! Do you allow the part that you cut to callous before burying in the soil with the newly formed roots?
Nopee. I sometimes rub activated charcoal powder on fresh wound especially on thicker/woodier stems. (Cinnamon powder works too)
Sooo happy I found u!!!! Quick question. What is the plant u have climbing the patio wall. I love it!!! 💓💓💓
That is a rhaphidophora hayii 😀 very common and considered a weed here, but expensive abroad.
💚💚
I want to do this with my Thai, but I’m nervous!
I killed so many Thais in propagation lol. Their internodes are extremely close together and they are very slow to propagate and grow, increasing possibility of rot.
Hey sean, long time watcher here. I have one question for you. How in the world can I get a hold of even one cutting of an aged monstera such as your here? I feel like if I had one mixed in with my plant, I would finally have the desired look. I can never find one and when I think I have, I am sent a cutting from a plant just like mine
You might have to source one near you because shipping for these can be insanely expensive.
I want to try air layering using an aerial root about 2 inches long. Would you recommend waiting for the aerial root to grow longer?
That sounds like a good length 😀
Your arms are buff.
can you make video on everything about golden pothos and how to get big leaves.
if you make it will mean a lot to me. hope you make video on my topic.
Oh yes that video has been filmed 9 months ago and its still waiting on updates 😀
Second! HEHE
I mean,if that cost you 10 us, I would pay 50 right now!
😀
First of all,...LOOOVEEE ALL YOUR VIDEOS! Secondly, could you PLEASE answer this question for me. I have a very tall but leggy monstera that I would like to just chop and start over with. I have good fenestrations but only one leaf that exhibits the holes as shown in your video. My dream is to get mine to have such large and holy leaves like this! BUT, I am scared to death that if I cut it, it will push out all small and immature leaves again. Will this plant continue as normal or will it force the plant back to the small leaves it had when it was young? Also, should I also air layer the roots? I have seen folks doing this but was unsure if it promotes more leaves or more stalks?? HELP
The key is - the top most cutting of that plants. When you propagate, you can take 3-5 leaves at the top as 1 cutting. With more leaves and more aerial roots, the plant will produce large new leaves rather than shrunken leaves.
The mid and lower sections of your cuttings will produce small leaves. Good for backup plants or to give neighbours/friends 😀
If you need clarification of what I said, feel free to DM me on instagram @bo.tan.ist with your photos 😀
@@onlyplants Gosh, I wish I could DM you but, I don't have any social media. Do you have an email?
You can put it at my house lol in the USA
The things you do usme 🥰
The things you do for us 🥰
❤️❤️
I actually repoted MY monstera and divided today and broke some roots! I hope will be ok! what are u think about that? I still had the both in MY room with east South window and I have grow light too! do u think to put it under the grow light or put it on the balcony for a bit 'cause still sunny in my country🤔( north italy) for now! waiting for some tips! 😊 tnx 😚❤u and your videos! u r so nice when explaining and talking about plants! 🤗 see u ❣
I would refrain from putting them in direct light because they can burn (as I shown in this video haha) be sure to be familiar with the balcony conditions before putting it there.
ok but I'm a little bit concerned about the broken roots! she still have a 100 of them... but I love that plant and I'm worrie a "little"🙁
my English have so dusty on it!🤷🏼♀️
I have a large mother plant, thick nodes and long air roots. Can I cut in half (propagate) and plant straight away?
Oh yes you can. Sterilize the wound with cinnamon powder, activated charcoal, or rooting hormone. And dont overwater both plants as they require far less water after being cut
If I cut the plant into 2, the younger side of the plant with several air roots can I put them straight into the soil to give the plant a better chance of success?
@@onlyplants hey, so it's been a couple months and I see no sign of new growth, or a new growth node on either plant.
Leaves one by one are going brown.
What should I do?
Cut the remaining green leaves and propogate the individual leaves but having them sit in water?
I can take a video if needed.
I have a monstera but it is definitely not that big is that what I have to look forward to?
That depends if its a monstera deliciosa or borsigiana. The deliciosa can get 4 times bigger than this haha
Can you tell me your potting mix? And use osmocote?
Sorry I have seen your soil video, thank you...
What temperature and humanity %, is it there, good weather conditions I think.. Better than here in the Netherlands..
Hello its tropical here so temps are 24-32 degrees and humidity at 60-90%
thank you, for answer. now here inside mij home it's now also 25 degrees and I have a new clean air optima humidifier, 65 - 70 %, I hope they survive..
I have this idea of having a huge, sprawling Monstera in the corner of my room, and I'm considering getting 3 of the Monsteras from the store, and then maybe using a 35 gallon hexagon aquarium with drainage holes drilled in the bottom and putting all three in there. I can't find videos of people consolidating Monsteras, but if the pot was big enough, is there any reason it's inherently inadvisable to put them all together?
If it is possible, I'm also considering buying a cutting from a giant Monstera online and maybe putting it in the middle, so once it finally grows it'll start shooting off some giant leaves as well, would this step _also_ be possible?
I know this is a really specific, speculative question but you seem like about as much of an expert on Monsteras as there is so I figured I'd try to get your opinion if I could.
Thank you so much!
Hello, theres actually 2 monsteras. (1) deliciosa (2) borsigiana. Make sure you got the right one. In your case I am assuming you are taking on the deliciosa?
You can combine 3 in one pot… although I would have selected 1 monstera only and then “landscape” the pot a bit with other plants.
And yes it helps to buy a mature enough monstera to start so you dont have to wait years
Put it on the middle of the pool
😀
Oh hiiiiii finally caught ur attention. I tried air layering my deliciosa too hahaha
Im having a dilemma with my borsi albo. Full var. Leaf
