How hasn't this blew up and got a hundred watches (or more!) This is awesome! so informative. Thank you so much! I shared it on FB with a bunch of plant groups. I really hope it catches on. People need to learn about their hobby! I wish you the best of luck. I subscribed too.
This was the video Ive been searching for! Question - I got a potted Thai Constellation cutting recently with two decent leaves (larger than my palms), but when I went to re-pot I noticed I didn't see a clear axillary bud (as you demonstrate on your monstera). The seller informed me sometimes it's behind the sheath of the stem, and so I looked and I think I found it - it's a small but noticeable bump protruding from where the top cut took place. This is my first time dealing with this, so if you had a moment I'd appreciate if you could look over photos I have of the plant. Thanks in advance! 🙏
Thank you so much for this! You're awesome! It's very hard to find very very basic, yet thorough information for those of us who are just getting started and are learning. Appreciate you!
This is an excellent video.Actually the best I have ever seen. Finally a person who knows what they are talking about. Now I am hoping my cutting has that axillary bud...It looks like it does.🤞
OMG! Thank you sooo much! I’ve been binge watching these type of videos for a few hrs lol & your video helped me out more than all of the others combined! I really hope you make more plant videos! I subscribed to your channel & was planning on binge watching your videos but there’s only a few.
@@loloplants4296 Just to clarify please when I cut my Thai Constellation, as long as I cut a part with an axiliary bud and a root that will grow a new shoot? And can I cut my Thai say into three pieces, or even 10 pieces if each piece has an axiliary bud and a root? I can cut both sides of a piece at the same time? That's good? Nothing else needed for cellular activity? Do you have an email maybe I can send pics of what I've cut? I'm hoping I did it right. 🙏 Many thanks
Wow the information about nature philodendrons is absolutely amazing!! That explains a lot in growth habit ect. Thank you so glad I found someone knowledgeable and not just opinionated, lol! I also have a monstera stem cutting I would love your knowledge on as to whether it is a spent node as I am afraid it is. I can post a picture if you would like to see it. I would greatly appreciate it!
Thank you SO MUCH. I have subscribed this is the best vid I have found on this topic, hope you get tens of thousands of subscribers soon, think I cut too close to my axillary bud on my monstera, I guess wait and see... 🙈
Hi! Thank you!! I am a bit obsessive, and since there is no easily accessible central source for this type of info, I hunted relevant info down and gathered it together from all sorts of places- research articles, veteran growers, and some from my own experience as a grower. I found that starting small, and researching basics of plant growth and the science surrounding their anatomy is really all that's needed to be able to build an intuitive understanding that you can adapt to the plants in front of you. If that makes sense. 😆
Thank you so much. This one video was more informative than the 50 other I watched before discovering you. I’m typing this prior to even finishing watching the video and I’m hoping you have many more. Headed to your Instagram now too!😀 I’m hoping you have some videos trying Keiki paste? 🙂🙂🙂 Anyway -Thanks again you’re the best!!!!
This video was phenomenal. It deserves more views. I wish I watched it before buying a Florida beauty leaf for a whack load of money... but lesson learned. I know what to ask about and look out for next time. Thanks again.
Thanks for this! I was gifted a p. Hastatum however the new growth from one of the canals snapped when my light fell on it. Hoping another bud comes out of it again.
This was so helpful! I had no idea what the little bump growing on my monstera stem was. Also, I have a few Brazilian philos and noticed that they seem to grow from cataphylls from the start
Holy informative!! I wish i watched before i jus chooped my monstera. Maybe u can clear this up for me. I just chopped the plant. Top cutting, so it has the "terminal growth". I know the mother plant will soon put out a new growth point from the axillary bud, BUT will my top cutting continue to put out leaves from the terminal growth point? Or will it forever be a rooted 2 leaf top cut? Lol. Love ur video!
Such an informative video! I do have a curious case. I recently chopped and propped the top of my monstera and I now have 2 activated nodes below the cut and the bud right below the cut has also started bulging in the last couple of days. I would assume that the two buds that have activated and have growths coming out of them will continue to grow at the same time? I always thought apical dominant plants only grew one new shoot if the top is removed. Do you have any idea why mine might be shooting 2 or even 3 at once?
Hi!! Thank you, I am so glad you enjoyed the video! It is normal for multiple buds to activate after the terminal growth is cut, yes. Hormones called auxins inhibit bud growth, but when the main stem is truncated, cytokinins trigger bud activation along the main stem. Eventually, though, only one of these buds will become dominant and receive the plant's resources while the others grow much more slowly, or the others may even stall out. So, yes, multiple buds can activate, but apical dominance will prevent all but one from becoming the new main, dominant stem.
Love the video. Just a quick question though.. for propagation, if i cut the top of a monestera deliciosa plant with its apical bud and Arial root.. will the mother plant continue growing and get more stems and leaves or not??? I'm more worried about the main plant than the cutting. I don't want to stunt the growth of the mother plant
Hey Lolo! I have a question and i hope you’re able to answer it! I have some spider plant cuttings that I have in water and they’re not doing too well, I have them under great lighting and change the water every 3 days or sometimes more. I check the roots and they look okay, not sure if it has some hidden root rot and I’m just not seeing it? But the leaves are yellowing and becoming black
Wow great video, very informative thamk you! I recently bought a monstera albo mid cutting with one leaf well rooted aproximately 2ft long worth of roots. However the axillary bud is not visible (no buldge). How long does it take for a buldge to show up? An estimate just to give me an idea. Also whatbis the estimated timeframe from a bud to a leaf unfurling? Thank you so much for the video i hope you make more!
Hi Conrad! So, it really depends on the plant and the overall health and the environment. You should be able to spot a bud on it though, even if faintly. Some sellers make a mistake and cut their cuttings too short, removing the bud. If you'd like to message me on Instagram @lolo.plants with pictures, I'd love to help!
@@loloplants4296 that would be great! I will look you up on instagram and send photos as well. Btw ive searched and searched for good content related to my question.. your video by far is the most insightfull ive seen. Thank you so much! Looking forward for more content :)
@@conradpasana3 Thank you so much! That means a lot!! I am hoping to make more videos soon on similar topics that I know info is lacking on!! 💗 I'll keep an eye out for your message!
If there were 3 axillary buds, then there were 3 nodes. Monstera can grow very compactly, and sometimes the nodes aren't as visible, especially on immature plants. If you want to send a photo to my IG (@lolo.plants) of the plant in question, perhaps I can help more! 🌱
Really helpful video!!! One question - I have a cutting with one leaf and the second node was cut off but the auxiliary bud was left and it has started to bulge - what would help it to grow the stem faster ? Is there any chance that it might not survive??
Hey!! I am sorry I only just saw this. There is no real way to force the growth, just ensure the plant has optimal conditions and allow patience! Things like keiki paste are redundant because the plant already produces its own auxins. Trust the plant knows what its doing, care for it well and you will get healthy growth! 😊
I bought a philodendron cutting that has 2 leaves in one node which is weird. One leave fell off due to shipping damage and the root is growing and has one leaf left. But I don’t know if there is a auxiliary bud or not 🤔
Hi! So, when a philo throws its first cataphyll, as it switches growing styles, it will have a node that has two leaves. This only ever happens right at the point of growing style shift. You'll see one of the leaf's petioles sulcate canals is closed, and one has an open sulcate. The bud will be directly across from the CLOSED sulcate petiole, inside the canal of the OPEN sulcate petiole. So, it would be in the location we always expect for both a mature and immature growth style. In other words, the location of the bud never changes when maturity shifts. Rather, because of the single double leafed node, the petiole connection "switches sides" and is now opposite the bud. I will try to create a video about this soon to show visual examples to help clarify! You do have a bud, and it will grow for you! 😊
@@loloplants4296 thank you. I try to picture and I’m so confused. One of the main stem side where 1 petiole of the leaf connect to main stem rotted(where the bad leaf fall out) so I scraped that out but the roots grow from the opposite side. I hope where it rotted wasn’t the bud
Hi! Cutting the terminal growth off will, if there are fresh axillary buds left behind on the plant, trigger secondary growth via axillary bud on the main stem. Often, the bud(s) that activate are the one(s) just below where the cut was made. Does that answer the question?
Hi Lolo! Can you plant a dying (root rot) monstera deliciosa directly into spag moss? I was advices to do that to save her... Please, if you can help I will send you pictures of her 😭🙏
Lolo Plants many thanks for answering. I just got recommended your channel and I loved and learnt a lot with this video already. I will search for you and follow on Instagram 😊
@@loloplants4296 I have a ‘baby’ node which is all I have left after losing 99.9% of the plant to rot (root and stem) 😭😭😭😭 I’d like to show you some photos to see if it’s viable or I just throw it out with the rest of the plant 😢😢😢😢 thank you

Do philodendrons also only have 1 axillary bud? I know monsteras do but not sure about philodendrons. Thanks
Yes, only one axillary bud per node, just like Monstera.
What if while your axillary is growing and you accidentally break off the tip. Its less than half an inch. Will it not keep growing?
There is definitely a chance it will keep growing if it has some meristematic tissue left! 🤞
