I used hedge clippers because I thought it would look cool. 🥲

lol....the hedge clippers at least showed how really tough the monstera stem is. I do have to admit that the other shot of the top of the plant was kinda cool to see it drop like that. Thanks for the video. I found out about you from Sheffield made plants (another favorite of mine) and I love your videos. I think one reason I like both channels is that you don't take plant keeping too seriously. It's fun, informative, and definitely shows that being a successful plant person means just winging it sometimes. Lol
I cried when I saw those and the bruises on the stems afterwards 😭
@@Sher-Burt the time between "I should have used a knife" and "well, I can't stop now" was 0.3 seconds.
@@KillThisPlant 🤣 sounds like life in general
I just used your code to buy the double aspects. I'm hoping I get my money's worth. I REALLY want my monsteras to grow huge. I have almost NO natural light and have been using Amazon halo lights. They've done okay, but if you want the results, you need the light. Thanks!!

It was pretty smooth i must say
Those Soltech lights are the TRUTH. I have the Aspect light and a 3 light track style one and it is absurd how much difference they make if you want nice plants indoors and you want it to look like a home still lol
Root your cuttings in just perlite moistened with distilled water. They will not rot as they will get a lot of air. And perlite makes roots grow really fast!
"It's fine now, it's fine." 😂😂 My mantra, sir, every single time I cut a plant -- any plant. 😂😂 Love your videos. Very educational, not a bunch of gibber gabber.
Glad you like them!
As a newbie to house plants. I’ve been watching and rewatching your videos. Am I the only newbie here that almost fainted when he made the first cut? I was definitely clutching my pearls during the rest of the video!
Also good job on the sponsor!
Your channel has become my "Bible" for taking good care of my Monstera.
This episode was amazing. I appreciate that you share details as well as describe what didn't work (problems possibly caused by the oil on the blades of your cutter?)
Your editing is perfect, and you don't indulge in chit-chat like too many How To channels.
The explanation of "front" and "back" of the cutting is important information that you thoughtfully included.
(I need to watch that part repeatedly so I understand it better)
I can't thank you enough for your content and excellent presentation. 💕🌱💕
You're a Monstera Whisperer!
Thank you also for the recommended plant light. 🌞💕
Thank you. This is such a nice comment. 🌱
@@KillThisPlant,
You are so welcome.
You deserve it because your videos address Monstera deliciosa, a species that is very unique.
It's difficult to find reliable knowledge and instruction about it.
I researched, searching for "how to cultivate M. deliciosa" and fortunately found your channel.
yesss
He does provide awesome content 🙌🏽
Perfect timing as I just told my husband that I needed to propagate mine as it's getting really big. Thank you
Glad I could help!
YES! I love waking up to new plant videos and today I got TWO from two of my favorite creators. I just finished Sheffield Made Plants and now here. In fact, I learned about this channel from Sheffield Made Plants in the first place.
Tell Richard I said, hey 👋🏾
My two faves also!!
I have a large monstera and an even larger elephant ear growing up against my south facing windows. Yes, against, the picture windows are supporting them. At some point, they'll need dividing and replanting, and your videos are a great educational resource. Now I just need to get up the courage to do it!
It's so scary to cut big plants lol! Good luck :)
You handled that monster monstera like a pro. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
I've been growing monsteras for about three years now and I honestly sometimes still feel like a newbie. I recently had to repot my monsteras TWICE because I tried out a new soil that was just not draining well enough. When I saw you using literally the EXACT soil recipe I used to repot the second time, I felt like I had finally done something right lol. Thank you for these tips!!
Your Monstera is gorgeous! 😍 I'm hopeful that your cuttings proliferate just as beautifully.
Last month I finally tackled the same task. I now have THREE lovely plants to gaze at. 😉 It was ONLY your teaching & example that gave me the confidence to even attempt that job. Thanks!!
Thanks, good luck with yours too!
I’m so grateful that in searching for Monstera care on RUclips I landed on your channel. You are so calm and knowledgeable. I now feel fully prepared to re-pot and propagate my two Monsteras. Thank you. 💕
I just found your videos after realizing I need to restart my leggy monstera, and wow! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to show mistakes and successes, your videos are saving my plants!!
Love to see this type of content keep up with it man I subscribe love what you doing love to see young people into plants and different types of things nothing but positive vibes from this way 💚
I appreciate that! Thanks.
I’m showing my Monsteras this video so they can grow big and beautiful like this one 🤤🤤🤤
🤣 hope it works!
The roots are rotting because you’re supposed to let the steam dry out for a few days before placing them into water.
Love the trick about cutting your rooted nodes apart while they’re still in the pot! I hadn’t thought about that. I have a 4 leaf plant remaining after taking my cuttings and it’s re-growing one leaf from the top node. Plan was to let that grow out, cut it off and then separate the other 3 but after watching this I think I’ll just cut all of them apart right now and watch them all regrow together!
Pete has some great tips on his channel.
@@KillThisPlant,
Who is Pete, and what's his channel called? 🦋🌱🦋
@@OceanSwimmer Pete vs Plants
This is so painful to watch! I can’t bear the massacre!
It's a monster!
The walking, talking and breathing hard with the monstera pot sent me, because that's exactly how it is repotting huge plants. Lol! Great video!
Haha! Haven't seen you around. Hope you're doing well.
I love ur attitude. So calm and relaxing watching ur vids
I don't have a monstera, yet. I do have a huge split leaf philodrendron. They look so similar, only no fenistrations. Good video! Now I know front from back, and I can use a plank or stick.
Let me know when/if you get one and how it goes 😎
We got a small mid cutting of a monstera a few months ago with my partner, and it's finally starting to grow bigger leaves than it had before ! Still no fenestration tough, but it's positioned near a window so i keep my fingers crossed !
That's great. I'm sure they'll come soon.
I would steer clear of potting soil. It holds too much moisture, even mixed with perlite, and even mixed again with coco coir. Tried both ways, worked better with coco coit, but still could go two weeks and the moisture meter showed off the scale.
I'm switching to a coco coir, perlite, orchid bark mix. Maybe 60/10/30. I've noticed storebought monsteras has a similar mix, their coco coir is much coarser than the one I've got though.
Edit, two of my Monsteras had a leaf each going yellow and more showing signs. I attribute that to the potting soil never drying up.
Alternatively, you could also just stretch out your watering schedule. I think I water my monstera once every 8-10 days. After my last repot, I waited almost 3 weeks since the water was sitting bc of the shock. I waited for it to really dry out a bit before adding more.
Soilless mediums are great. With the amount of light the plant gets I'm able to manage with a peat based soil.
@@human47134 I thought about that, but the rootball was wet while the top was moist still after two weeks. Sure I could wait more, I waited another week for two other pots. They are just as wet, even got algae on top. The stick I had in one pot started molding :)
In my mind being waterlogged wouldn't be good for the roots.
The monster pot I still have from the store dries out really well, I drench it once a week.
I had no luck putting aerials into water either. I'm going to try soil props from now on!
Yeah, I've found that once aerial roots are dry, they don't fend well in water. Moss can sometimes revive them, but typically you're just waiting for more roots to grow in.
That Monstera is huge! How long have you been growing this plant?
Not sure. It was from a mid cutting so maybe 2.5 years?
I know that this video is a year old...and I watch some of your videos which are very informative. However, I disagree with you, regarding the size of the pot which you are putting your plants in. If you are in the jungle or in the forest, from which this plant originates from, the ground has plenty of room to stretch its roots out. So why would you put it in such a small pot? This baffles me. I understand if it were a small plant, but it's large...in fact very large. To me that's like putting a Mastiff in a kennel meant for a chihuahua. Please consider this!

Watch my latest video start at the 6:54 mark.
I am very tired of having to keep explaining the same thing over and over 😞.
@@KillThisPlant I'm sorry that you have to explain this over and over. You really shouldn't have to. So this is what I suggest, you of course don't have to do it. But perhaps take the old one down so that you won't get upset with your fan base (like me) who did not know of your latest video. This one from last year popped up on mine today about Monsteras. So again, I apologize to you for causing you to have a sad face. You still have the rest of the day to rejoice!
Hot tip for when you trim a leaf, throw it in a glass bottle on a floating shelf and for about a month you can call it decor
We do love decor
Que grandes tus monteras amigo un abrazo
Have you tried getting it to flower and fruit?
what was the curved plastic piece that you use on that light you purchased? Man I have been trying to hunt that down.
It's called the archetto wall mount. It's under accessories on the Soltech website.
Oh my goodness, I was in pain watching you chop up that beautiful plant! But… yes, I know… she’ll grow into a big and beautiful plant again. Looking forward to follow up clips. Thanks!
It's almost back to it's full size again 🤦🏾♂️
I come here and say what am I doing wrong to my monstera. Its giving a lot of growth but not nearly as large as these leaves.
Im by no means an expert, but maybe look at if you have a large or a small form monstera deliciosa
I just found you! 3 vids in and I have learned SO MUCH! And I consider myself to be well read when caring for plants. But i like to say, "you're not growing if you're not learning."
The snip prop tip at time 1:46 from your pal Pete verses Plants is wow!! What a great tip on ways to propagate. It makes total sense.
I have a 2 yr monstera that's 'rebirthed' bc i let her leaves get burnt, badly burnt. 🥺 Rookie mistake honestly. She's recovered nicely. Lost all the burnt leaves, only has 2 original leaves left. Every leaf is new. She's exploded Even put out some new leaves on the stems near the dirt. Anyhow, with your vids help. I've decided to let her be.
So glad to find ya. Thanks for helping me, and my plants grow.
Thanks for the nice comment! I hope your plants keep doing well
Another fantastic video- thank you!
Instantly subbed, this is really awesome info and delivery
Dude, total respect on the growth! You do need lopper shears or anvil pruners. Be careful not to inhale the dust from the perlite.
Cant wait to see how this comes out in the future, curious about the age of it.
LOL at first I thought Lee was jk with the clippers shaking like "oh no" bc he is a jokester sometimes haha
I agree with other i watch both channels KTP and Sheffiled, they are both so knowledgeable, informative and funny!
I have learned SO much between both channels Thank You so much for doing what u do 🙂
I have a beast of a Monstera. I swear she stays pregnant. I just can’t bring myself to cut her. ❤
OH MY GOSH, ITS GORGEOUS! WHAT FERTALIZER DO YOU USE, TO GET SUCH HUGE LEAVES? PLS TY😊
I just use miracle gro slow release, but it's more about light exposure.
HI im new to plant keeping and I'm especially new to monstera care, people always say that monsters need poles because they like to climb, however I always see (yours specifically) always growing wild and carefree disregarding the pole, and generally dangling to the side. Can you or really anyone that is knowledgable clarify this for me?
This comment needs its own video 🥲. Specifically with this plant I used one wooden plank and one bamboo stick.
What you didn't see:
-On the wide plank the plant was still in front of the plank growing pretty evenly. This previous video has a better angle: ruclips.net/video/UPo8Jie7sGk/видео.html
-with the bamboo stick, the second stem pushed through pretty quickly. While it was still enough to stabilize the stem, so it could continue to produce larger leaves, it wasn't the most ideal.
More specifically:
-your plant doesn't need to be perfectly placed for larger growth as long as the stem is sturdy and secure.
-placing your stake at the back where the roots are is the best place to keep your plant secure because the roots might naturally grab on to the stake and secure itself. It's also the best place to put it because you can most easily make adjustments.
In practice:
-You will still have to continue to tie and arrange the plant as it grows, especially if your climbing pole is more narrow than the stem.
-if you see my stems no longer at the back it's more than likely because I haven't kept up with maintenance or I should have used a wider pole (but also I want the plant to look nice, so I probably won't use a 1 foot wide plank).
I cut all the aerial roots, many of which were over 4' long and hanging down to the floor, down to about an inch. My 3 monsteras are each over 6'tall. Will I still be able to propagate the cuttings with the aerial roots cut off?
Hi sorry maybe I've missed this part. What did you do with the mother plant?
Why do more people not air layer while the plant is still whole? I always have my top cut aerial root in its own soil mixture 2-3 weeks before i cut. Then i end up with 2 plants that already have good roots. When you just cut the top without air layering you shock the top cutting and make it go dormant for some time but even the transition from sending energy to the top most growth to now not having that energy ( because it comes from the mama plant's roots) your plant has to start from 0
That plant is awesome. Your video is too, I leaned a lot, about taking cuttings properly, using clean tools, rooting, potting up rooted cuttings in proper soil mix, and staking. Thanks for sharing.
ok I rescued a monstera from a big box store and it was planted with 3 or 4 plants all facing in on itself. all the arial roots facing out 360. I want to dump it out and separate it and I'm scared. I spent a year basically making a healthier plant that puts out variegated leaves only to murder it by separating it.. yes so it ultimately could grow better. any tips?
What type of monstera plant is this cause mine is no where this big 🤦🏾♀️🙌🏾😍
Woww que lastima me dio ESTAVA PRESIOSA
Your monstera is fabulous. I enjoyed watching your video so much, just discovered your channel and subscribed! 💚
Thank you so much!
i made the experience that once a new sprouding leafe is krippled like this it will continue to grow out uggly for a long long while
or maybe the plant i got isnt just the best quality or something else was wrong i also think i might have it in a place to dark the issure is i dont really have any place with more light XD
so becouse my monstera stems all kinda grew wierdly i decidet to jut em and propagate only the top cutting
some roots are already developping and this time besides the seramis tropical perloit stuff il also add sand to my green plant mix hope this makes it better especially in winter when i have difficultys getting the soild dry again
in the old pot i also had mushrooms growing

6:00 don't be afraid to properly trim the roots when looking like that... there is absolutely no reason to re-pot a plant w/ a root system looking like that unless you want to replace the pot for esthetic reasons only.
always keep in mind that roots absorb moisture and nutrients thru the tips, the rest or the roots are for storage. the more root tips a plant grows the more foliage. in this case the roots will reach the bottom of the pot in a few weeks and then start going in circles w/ almost no use of the soil added to the sides. a safe way to trim roots is to leave about a third. mostera plants can (re)start w/ even less roots as seen by the new cuttings that start growing large leaves as soon as they have a fist full or new roots.
Throw it all away and grow something that's actually interesting and not just because it's trendy
Amazing plant, hope to get there one day 👍 how old would you guess this plant is? Thanks for sharing your tips with us, learned a lot about this amazing plant from you. Soltech is a beautiful light, I just checked out there website. I am in Germany and with shipping/taxes all that it costs around 280€ (~310$) so I guess I have to keep on searching… 😅
Oh he's chopping them up 😭 I'm struggling, but I'm sticking with it😳
wow. that was a lot of time invested in a video for you to go from cutting to roots on that top cut. bravo
Top🎉
When you have great roots from a huge heavy cutting how do you get that to hold in an appropriate small pot?
My baby won't even grow, been the same size for 4 months since I bought it 😮
what type of monstera is this?
Monstera deliciosa
Super geniale Ideen hat de rKerl, ich danke dir für deine tollen Tipp und das tolle informative und lehrreiche video über Monsteras :)) Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland ;))
💪💯💭🙌🏻 fantastic class , professor! Nailed it😅
When using a pair of clippers, use not the tip but the base of the blades… leverage.
Help help help, My cat has attacked my monsteras new leaf 🤦♀️ it’s a complete flop, ive tied it up towards the moss pole to support it but it has damage at the node I’ve never had a monstera as big as the one I have now it’s about 6ft to leaf top…… the new leaf and stem was about a 1/3 of its way to a huge leaf… should I see what will happen or cut it off 😭😭😭 this is only the third new leaf since I’ve had it 😥 I’m scared to chop it 😢it’s my favourite plant guys ! Can anyone give me advice ☺️
You should just leave it alone until the next leaf grows from that stem. Sorry 😾
I really enjoyed watching this video. Not touch going on. But EVERYTHING going on. Ot was perfect. Amd for that, I hit that button.❤ Love the Vib. Look forward to more of your work. Much love from 🌴FL🌴
Thanks! Appreciate you.
Can someone please help me! My leaf snapped off, what do I do with the stem? It was the biggest/main stem and the other 2 leaves branch from it. Do I cut the stem or leave the part where it broke off exposed?
Leave it.
Thank you for this video. I have had my monstera for almost 3 years and it's over 7 ft. I am thinking about cutting and propagating, but was terrified I'd kill the whole plant. After watching your video, now I'm not so scared. Well maybe just a little 😉
It's like watching a horror movie 🙈 I'm like NOOOOO leave it alone!!! I just don't understand why it's being divided.
✂️✂️
Thanks so much for this video. Live in India…. Relocating to Kolkata from Bangalore, 2000 kms. Need to take my monstera which has been growing in the ground! It is HUGE!
Always clean my tools with soap n water n rubbing alcohol
💚🌱🌿
i cant believe that guy got that big from that one light source
Tengo una grande , pero no me animo a cortarla , pero creció para abajo sin tutor 😢
Whoa!!!! That’s a giant monster lol!!!! I hope my baby gets that big one day 🌳🌳🌳
Ok well now you're just showing off with that absolutely gorgeous Monstera!! WoW!! I would replace my TV with your Monstera and just stare at it grow lol Great work! Inspiring me to get one.
Can you do a care video on that peperomia in the background?!
Great video, new subscriber. I have an enormous monstera deliciosa that I love! I want to replant into an aquarium as an aquascape or at the very least, propagate some of it. Is this going to put it in shock? If water is constantly aireated will that prevent root rot? Any thoughts or advice?
If you have enough light, a healthy plant, clean tools, and a reasonable roots to foliage ratio it'll be fine. You don't really need a water bubbler.
Is there any problem with putting many monsteras in one pot?? I need to restart or organize mine but I'm just wondering if that will affect on monsteras to grown. Thank you
No, they might grow a bit slower due to reduced root mass for each plant and light competition. But it's your plant, you decide how you want it to look.
My monstera is huge and toppling over, only one stem. I'll have to rewatch the part on mid-cuttings, as thats new to me (but many aerial roots are in the soil) My plant is currently unfurling its newest leaf, so I imagine it would be best to wait until thats done before cutting and repotting. Would you agree?
Yes, generally I would recommend waiting until the new leaf finishes unfurling.
@KillThisPlant thank you!! Ill be patient then. 🪴 That gives me more time to study Pete vs Plants info too 🙌
My mix :
30 percent charcoal mix soil
60 percent aged rice Hull
10 percent of Earthworms poop 😂
The leaf scraping along the wall is screaming “weeeeeee” 😂
Hey, great video! Is it possible to do this in autum time? Or it is better to wait to spring?
Thx❤😊
@@captainakgofuture1386 as long as light and temperature remains consistent you can do this anytime.
At 2:00 you talk about cutting nodes between aerial roots to create new growth. If I do this near the base of my monstera, will the top leaves continue growing strongly or will I need to turn them into propagations?
@@RobertMontgomery-q4i it depends on how rooted the aerial roots above your cuts are. Have they been in the soil for a long time, have they established enough to support whatever foliage above your cut? There isn't really a good way of knowing. It can be a dangerous cut in some cases.
A monstera can grow this big? My 1 Year old monstera is a way smaller, but it grows good. I guess, when I move out from my parents home, I need to get a flat with a high ceiling.
Hello from Spain!! love your videos!!!
0:14 Oh my totally obsessed 💚🪴💚🪴💚🪴
I invite everyone to read coran the last book of god on earth and judge it
I have used ground cinnamon powder (not fresh ground) at the bases of the cutting before I soil propagate and I’ve never had any rot issues.

Food (pun intended) for thought.
something about you using a handsaw to cut a plant is so funny to me
This video answered my question I asked on your other video. My MD is growing aerial roots, they are just growing into the soil.
I have been wondering how to do this!
Hey can we get an update on the top cuttings? Thanks!
I love your shirt!
I cringed when you started cutting.
i feel like it's just a matter of time until you start a fitness/workout channel where all you do is curl colossal plant pots
There is something tantalising about creating new plants while they're still in each others pots. Feels like mad science 👀

Question: why do my monsteras turn yellow every time I repot the cuttings (with roots) in soil?
@@Beepbeep_its_treasure could be lack of light or the roots might be too wet for too long which creates an environment where root killing bacteria thrives.
Could be not enough roots to sustain your foliage.
Could be something else.
Ugh why are you destroying this gorgeous monstera 😭
Because I thought it would be fun, and also because the ceiling.
