Worm 🐛 castings are magical and mandatory for my 3 monsters pushing out a new leaf every two weeks through growing season. Seriously, they love 💕 them!
How often do you give it worm castings?
Worm castings are one of my favorite slow release fertilizers
@@sandylockhart3172 I apply mine once a month during the growing season and one final time at the end of the season for winter fertilization. I use around a quarter cup (2 ounces) for a 6 in pot. Just apply evenly around the top and work into the soil as best you can while being careful of young roots and stems
Thanks, I just got my first Monstera and put it in a corner with a large west-facing window. I use worm castings for most of my plants and will start using them as you directed. It is taking to it's new space and actively growing new leaves.
I got my monstera I named Bob about a year and a half ago. He's my pride and joy. I recently bought a baby version so I'm excited to see how he grows
Best, fastest growing plant ever. My original one outgrew my house. Now lives happily under my patio.
I finally got my MD last year. Put it in a big plastic pot, which I put outside on the east side of my house. I happened to have a tall wrought iron trellis which I stuck into the pot. I watered it regularly and fertilized it also, and that plant started giving me large leaves with so many finest rations. Once cold weather started coming, there was no way I was going to be able to move that pot anywhere. So I decided to take as many cuttings as possible and put one to two leaves in large clear vases to root indoors. Even though the indoor lighting wasn’t very bright, I’m happy to relate that most developed more roots and are getting ready to be potted up. As for the mother plant, it remained outside protected with a layer of leaves and covered up with some tent material. When I finally uncovered it, what leaves it still had had frozen and turned brown, but the trunk is very much green. Fingers crossed that it will start sprouting out again.🤞🤞🤞🤞
I'm reading this a year after you posted, and I was wondering if your mama plant produced leaves again.
@@vickykent353 Yes, it did! However, it gave me only one sprout which came out from the ground. So once again when cold weather came around, I repeated the same thing. I think, next time, I’m going to leave more nodes (but cutting off the leaves in order to leave a longer stalk in the pot) in order to see if it’ll give me more sprouts for a fuller plant.
I found mine during partial lockdown about a year ago for 8 Euros, she was not doing too well only had 2 leaves but is massive now. She has moved from my south facing balcony to next to an east facing window in my office but I live in the south of Spain.
Love, love, love the plant of the week series. Thank you for all the helpful information. You make it so much easier to decide which plants will realistically do well in my home.
As much as I adore a mature leaf, I love a juvenile heart shaped leaf. It's like a bouquet of hearts 💕
I bought my first M. deliciosa two days ago. Perfect timing!
Perfect timing Nick! I just bought a MD from Lowe's just about the time you posted this video. It's a pretty substantial size for $24.95. I had just finished your earlier video on rooting your Monstera from 2018 when this video popped up. I've warned the cats that it will eat their Pounce and Temptation treats if they more than stare at this plant! One of my clivias was moved off its stand to the front porch to make room for my new baby. Thank God it's 80 degrees here today in NC. Thanks Nick ...you're the Man! 😄
This is truly one of my favorite plants. It grows gorgeously and really leaves even the most novice grower feeling accomplished 😅👍
so glad i watched this, i almost picked on up today but i was way too nervous! I may go back tomorrow and grab one!
My monstera is my pride and joy. I got her as a gift at the start of the pandemic, fairly small, and now she's putting off 2 feet leaves with tons of fenestrations ❤️ You're right, they handle high light really well! The biggest challenge is stopping her from tipping over 😂 a stake hasn't been enough, even the stake is leaning!
Gets stronger stake.
The way I love my monstera, I split the og plant and then propped a cutting cutting so I technically have 3. I love all of them and they bring me so much joy♡ I can't wait to spend many more years with them
I literally bought one yesterday this is perfect timing!
I just ordered a baby one and I'm so happy you're featuring it now! I have no clue when I'll get mine as the weather has been insane in my area (like 40 degree temp swings in the negative).
I'm so happy I found your channel! I'm pretty new only been a plant mom for a year and I just started a plant group in my apartment complex! I'm going to play your videos!
I would love it if you could FaceTime with us some day and answer questions! Please please please!!
I love the plant of the week series!
My all-time favorite plant! 🪴
Love your channel Nick! Can you please make a video for plants for narrow spaces/things that grow vertically? I've got a few corners I'd love to fill and a terra cotta vase I'm looking to add a plant to as well.
Oh my gosh that monstera is so beautiful and healthy!
You should see my plant its huge go to my channel I have a short showing how big it is
Can't wait until spring / summer 😫 I have two monsteras, both have grow lights just for them and grow in a east facing window. Too dry and the sun is weak. I love moving all my plants outside to turn our porches into jungles
Try misting them with a spray bottle they love that
Hi Nick! Monstera's are so pretty, but I definitely don't have room for one. I appreciate all of the detail you put in your videos about specific plants. It's very helpful. Thank you so much for sharing!
My first monstera is named Claire, I got her 3 years ago in a 6 in pot, she is now huge and trellised, growing up my living room wall. 😁
I agree, they take off. The one I have now is my second, purchased in March 2020 in an 8 inch pot. It’s now in a 16 inch pot, and is 4.5 feet tall and 4.5 feet wide…and that’s tied up on a pole! Mine loves East light 👍
My mother had piñanonas galore all my 35 years that I lived with her in Mexico, but they were outdoors in the heat of Northern Mexico and did well! I had no idea they could live indoors.
Got one coming in a “4 pot can’t wait to see her❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your good video 👍😘⚘
i enjoyed it
☺😛😄
Have a great time always

I bought my monstera about five months ago and it lives on my back patio because my cats can’t be trusted. It’s quadrupled in size and I’ve repotted it twice! It’s been pushing out a new leaf every week, but I’m guessing it will slow down soon since we are entering autumn here in the Southern Hemisphere
i bought a 4"inch baby Monstera deliciosa off of Amazon it came today and just unpacked it and decided to name it Dumbo cause the leaves are already huge. Their no splits yet and payed 20 bucks for Dumbo
I've had mine for about over a year now, got her as a single tiny leaf and now has like 7 leaves, and a few with the fenestration! She's one of my favorite but I had thrips on her and a lot of her leaves got damaged!
I love garding video. Thank you
Thanks.
I got mine for free. Someone just abandoned a huge specimen in the lobby of my building. It looked so sad and pathetic, drooping over the sides of the basket it was in, no care was given to it. I took maybe 8 clippings and now I have 3 pots which I've taken care of for about a year. My biggest issue with them is they don't stay plump and look dehydrated. I'm scared I am going to water them too much (which I have done many times to other plants). I think I might've added too much drainage to my mix. But they're still doing good and growing at least lol
Thank you for the tips Nick! I've had my monstera for about 9 months and it's only had 1-2 split leaves. All other leafs are still the immature form. I've placed it in a southeast facing window and there are a lot of aerial roots now, but still not many fenestrations.
Is there anything else I can do?
Put it on a stake or a moss pole
@@simeonivanov4375 Thank you. I have it on bamboo sticks. But I think they weren't anchored down enough perhaps? I've re-enforced the stems around the bamboo sticks a little tighter and higher for more security. We'll see how it goes.
Yup they like tight stability and lots of water and very bright light as long as it doesn't make the leaves hot it takes more water for this reason I have a short video on my monstera its huge
Also making sure the roots have enough room to keep expanding it doesn't like being root bound
My monstera is one of my favorite house plants. It's one of the only plants my husband lets me keep in the livingroom (most are outside or in my office room haha) but he's named Goliath and it is just so fun watching him slowly unfurl a leaf! And I will say they are super Hardy. We live in Florida and he is happy as a clam to just hang out in our living room which is moderately sunny most of the day and I water him whenever I remember to haha. The big leaves just really are so much fun! One thing I will say is definitely need something to help keep him upright though. Mine was a beast until I gave him a moss pole. He doesn't really use it but its good for guiding him up the wall haha
Same with the moss pole!
Have you tried sticking his aerial roots in water? You'll have to replace the water every day or two until the roots properly develop to fill the container, but they really appreciate the extra water.
@@sandy_carpetsthesecond5013 I haven't! My plant isn't overly huge so I only really have 1 node that I could potentially use ATM above the soil, but he doesn't have roots that are big enough. To put into any water. Although I could use some damp moss and see if that will get him moving! Cuz you're right, I'm sure he'd appreciate the extra water for sure!
@@Karasaywah Ah, right. I mean, if the roots aren't quite long enough, it's probably best to wait. If feeder roots start growing at the end of the aerial roots, I'm pretty sure it caps how long the actual aerial root itself can grow.
You should definitely try it when it gets large enough though, their aerial roots grow like that in order to search for other sources of nutrition aswell as attach itself to whatever it's climbing.
@@sandy_carpetsthesecond5013 I definitely will :) thank you!
This might be silly but could you possibly do a video on how to stake a plant? Is that what it’s called? I’m new to this. But the bamboo stick thing? You just stick it in and clip on the plant?
Ahh nick gratz on 150k i c u hitting my algorithm again in your bag per say a
My babies leaves are so limp 😞 she’s been that way for almost a year. She’s thriving and multiplying with splits, but the leaves aren’t stiff. She’s also gotten a bit of rust under a couple leaves. I need her to live forever.
Mine has limp leaves when it needs water 💧
I have one growing on my patio it is in a 3 gallon nursery pot and stands about 4 feet tall with multiple stems. Should I plant it in a bigger pot? I have had it for over 10 years
My Monstera (Morticia) has grown approx 25 new leaves this growing season!!! I did a video about it, not sure what's going on except for loving the new place with extra light - but 25??!!!! It's also pushing out teeny tiny leaves for whatever reason 🤷♀️🤷♀️
Love the name
Hey Nick, first off you're the best.👍Secondly, I propagated a stem of a monstera and 2 leaves have grown in but no roots, what am I doing wrong? What do I need to change?
How long has it been? It can take 1-2 months depending on the light. It also needs fresh water every 1-2 weeks. Good luck!
@@HelenMcLean it's been about 2 months in alot of light and kept warm.
I keep mine on a screened patio north facing
On my monstera, I have tiny little yellow bugs that won't go away. It actually looks like dust, but if I use the magnify app on my iPhone, I can see them moving around. I haven't been able to identify what they are online. Do you have any thoughts what it could be and what I can do to get rid of them?
I recently got another Monstera, and just noticed that it's infested with thrips 😩 That's also how I lost my first one. How do I get rid of them? Or stop it from happening? Where do they even come from lol
The best way to get rid of them is a systematic pesticide or neem oil on the leaves
My monstera has browning on the new leaves, I’m not sure if this is a watering issue or lighting issue. I have it growing in a North facing window currently watering once a week.
Is the air dry there? That can cause brown patches on the leaves so can to low of light try misting with a spray bottle
if you’ve had it for more than a couple months and haven’t fertilized it yet i would try that
Could you do a care video on one of the heart philodendron...😁😁
The monstera is a beauty but thrips seem to appear out of no where. Working on repositioning indoors☀️
It natrual for my Monster to be able to survive temperatures as low as 35 degrees?
🖤🖤🖤
I have 2 monsteras next to a south window. I’m getting new leaves but they no longer have splits🤷♀️
Cute scruff!
💚
My first thrips is from my monstera :( never had thrips until than and now it has spread.....2021 first time having thrip...hate them
I just got mine. It’s in a very large black plastic pot, only half filled with some sort of sandy soil. It looks ok. Should I repot now. Or more into spring ( live in south Florida)
Leave a new plant in its nursery pot to acclimate to your new environment for a while before repotting. Usually spring is the best for repotting too 👍
Your fine in south florida wouldn't do too sandy of soil but they love slow release fertilizer too
I’ve had mines for 3 years. I’m considering getting a cat. How do you stop your cat from chewing on your plants?
Get an older (older than 2) cat from a foster program that has them in a home and can tell you it’s a cat that isn’t interested in plants. I fostered 1 cat as an emergency situation and he didn’t touch any of my 125 plants
@@M_SC , Okay I’ll look into that. Thanks!
💚🌿
My monstera is named Dave. He has given me 8 new leaves in the past year!!!
Dave 😂😊 What a great name!
@@HelenMcLean 😊
These babies are the "Borsigiana" form ❤️ I love them. It was my first Monstera. And it just gave me a 14 splitter.
I also now have 2 - Giant Monstera Forms , And 3 Thai constellations. ❤️ These plants really are my soul mates. ❤️
Can u cut off the roots if they get too much even for a big planter
Yes it won't kill the plant just dont cut them all off at once and shock the plant
And make sure it's super stable with plant wire or stretschy plastic if it's not stable that can cause them to grow alot of arial roots
I have a cat and she likes to chew on my monstera preciousa and she hasn’t ever gotten sick or anything so that’s good!!!! I still yell at her tho to not do it because she punches holes in my leaves 😭
Mines have brown spots
Limp
Leaves droopy new growth
The plant is on the outside screened in porch, SWFL
great mix soil and barely water so the roots don’t rot
Now what?
If your monster is getting too big, don't feed it so regularly and/or put a monster in a lower light area. It won't grow much bigger then.

I have a short I made of my monstera you gotta check it out its huge I put it in my fish tank under a 200$ fish tank light at full strength and it got huge I mean HUGE!
