I just bought a “rescue” monstera from Lowe’s on clearance for the students I teach about all things planty at a school I volunteer at. They did such a good job assessing her. They got to see the junk soil costa farms uses vs the soil they learned how to make. They learned about transpiration, how to trim the sunburnt leaves. They checked the roots and repotted her. Within the first week she put out the 2 leaves she was working on and is so happy now. The kids love her. They named her Jayde (Jade). Lol
Do you trim your roots? I bought a monstera 2 years ago from the grocery store. She was $80, in a 2 gal pot I think. But she was big. I repotted her into a 24 inch pot, and she outgrew it. Now she’s in the biggest pot I can give her- 36 inches plastic pot from the outdoor section at Lowe’s. Last year I chopped her roots, I had to do it again this year. When I do she puts out new leaves and pups. I took out 6 of the 8 pups she had in the spring and gave them to my sister. Now she is about 8 ft tall and putting out leaves over 2 ft wide in an east window w southern exposure. But I couldn’t keep her happy if I didn’t trim her roots. It also saves me some money on pots and soil.
Thank you for doing this because it's a matter of education to help plants thrive and survive, especially for the novice starting out. Would you consider featuring a plant from a big box store that covers the condition and listed price? I only ask because Lowe's and saw a decent sized Prismacolor Florida Green with damaged sections that were clipped together and priced at $29.98. I'm hoping they will go on clearance soon.
I loved your video on purchased plant, taking it home, etc. that was a beautiful Monstera that you purchased. I like the idea of clear pods to see what’s going on.
I may have just missed it, but what greenhouse did you go to? I also realized today...I have thrips! 😭 I just wasn't cautious enough bringing in my new plants I guess. I look at my plants all the time, so I hope I caught it early! I'll be spending this afternoon spraying every plant down with Neem oil!
I bought a lush Monstera deliciosa in a 10" pot a year ago at Aldi's for $15. It had a nursery pot inside a decorative plastic pot. The pot was crammed with growth, so I re-potted it into a 12". It looked gorgeous in a south-facing window for about 9 months, but with summer, the leaves began to get brown edges & die. I suspect the sun was too much for it; other philodendrons in the south window are also turning brown. Today, I bought another at Aldi's in a 10" pot for $15. I will try to place a sheer curtain between it & the direct sun.
Im a plant novice and just bought a monstera from Walmart and it was infested with gnat eggs so I had to get all of the soil off of the roots as much as possible and repotted it in my own mixture. Ij really hope it'll still continue to grow after all of the trauma Ij put it through 🙁😩
Excellent video ! I learned so much ! Thank you ! This is a plant I’m buying next . However have not found a healthy one . Will try a nursery your choices looked very healthy !
What a great video!! 🙏🏽💚 I agree with all your care tips and I wish this video existed 5 years ago! LOL I definitely try to give my plants a week or 2 to acclimate before any repotting and adding systemic treatments, but Monsteras are tough so it can handle it when things are done right like in this video
I just bought a very leggy monstera with just one leaf per vine. I want to bring it back to its full potential. It was only 15 bucks. I'm still new to it so I'm afraid to mess with it more but also don't want to ignore issues. Thanks for all the info
I bought a Monstera baby plant from Walmart about two weeks ago. It’s been isolated and roots are looking white and healthy. I have it sitting about 6 feet away from the south facing window and I’ve only watered it once with distilled water. About four days ago, I noticed one black splotch on one of the leaves. That is when I watered the plant since the soil felt a bit dry in my water. Meter didn’t read completely dry, but almost. After watering, I now see two more leaves with black splotches, not spots. Some of the black splotches on two of the leaves have a little yellowing around them. Besides the south facing sun, at night I have a grow light over it.
Plants need a night period in darkness, different processes occur in plants at night which are vital to their health, think how you would feel without a resting period. I don’t know about the spots but I wouldn’t light it up at night. Good luck 😊🪴
I'm at the point where my monstera is huge and up to the ceiling! I would love some info on how to safely cut them back and propagate! I actually cut back one of them and put them in water! Ive done it before with smaller ones. Unfortunately it rotted most of the cuttings!! So the remaining ones are now in perlite. I hope it works! 😂 I'm just worried about cutting back the rest of it!! If you have any suggestions.
I have a fairly new MD baby that I purchased back in February from our university’s greenhouse. It’s doing great, but there’s only one plant in the pot. Would it be too stressful for the plant if I repotted and added more plants to the pot? I’d love to have a more full plant. Same question for a Swiss Cheese plant. I have one I rescued and it’s growing like mad…a new leaf, sometimes two a week!
Wow i got on this morning for $49 and it don't have so many leaves like yours, my was the same size it height with only 6 leaves, 3 small, and 3 big ones. I feel Robbed lol
Buying a big plant is very risky if you cant recreate its envrionment from where you bought it, much more likely to respond to trauma badly especially concerning light

I’m getting ready to repot my monstera someone gave me. This was so helpful!!! I could use a video like this for every one of my plants! Hoyas???
So nice to see you and hear you again. ❤ 🇨🇦

This was awesome! Wish there were more videos done this way about cultivating tropicals and house plants. Would like you to do more videos like this
This was such a great video! Great information, lovely vibes, and much appreciated walkthrough from start to finish. Thank you, thank you ❤

Hi Ashley, Very thorough and informative video. Great job! Your new Monstera is gorgeous! 👌🪴🥰
Now, these are my kinds of videos 😊 Special care for groupings of plants. I use that same systemic and garden safe insecticidal soap! Good stuff! 👍
Excellent video ! I learned so much ! Thank you ! This is a plant I’m buying next . However have not found a healthy one . Will try a nursery your choices looked very healthy !

Oh my, love the MD
I’ve been looking this, But didn’t want to pay big money. Thank you

In my experience I found that when I let the cutting harden off longer, it roots easily for me in water no matter the size of the cutting
How big is the pot you moved her too ?
How often do you water it?
where can Iget the clear pots? I just got my monstera and in 1 weel already have 8 good size leaves🎉🎉🎉🎉
Do you use tap water? I put my water in containers from tap and wait a week before I use it to let chemicals evaporate
Does cinnamon work against gnats? We can’t get the granules here. 😢
And now I want another Monsterra 😂
Thank you so much for this video! I saw someone say that they don't even mist the coco coir stakes. Do you? And if you do, how do you go about it?
What is that green repotting tray you are using? Don’t see it in the products list in description.
Great monstera care video, thanks for sharing. I am sure your monstera will double up in size in no time! How much was the one you picked?
$24.99

Mines stays in direct sunlight and it's just a year old and it already has larger holes in the leaves 🙏
She is stunning🌿🌿🌿🌿😊
Where is this amazing place.
Thank you.
Wow i got on this morning for $49 and it don't have so many leaves like yours, my was the same size it height with only 6 leaves, 3 small, and 3 big ones. I feel Robbed lol
Noticed you used the slotted pots instead of a regular pot, i guess it doesnt matter?
Helps with air going to the roots, dries faster.
💚
Beutiful
👏🏾🙌🏾
Where do I buy a male monstera , there must be lots about as you are all buying the female ones !!!!!
Buying a big plant is very risky if you cant recreate its envrionment from where you bought it, much more likely to respond to trauma badly especially concerning light
the MOST important : have a greenhouse.........
I have done it wrong already😎.
