Hi, I bought a monstera Thai constellation not to long ago ( about 1-2 weeks ago ) and I watered it once with rain water ( 0.8 cups/ 190-200 ml ) and it looks like it got some root rot but not servere ( I only looked at the bottom of the pot it was in ), is there any tipes on what I can do? It started giving me a yellow leave but I think its ,caused though stress of the environment change it was in? 😳
Morning it’s Saturday about 6:15 am in Indiana. I just got my coffee. My dog woke me up and it’s my day off!!! So I’m back in bed with coffee and my plant man ❤
I had 3 plants in a pot for about a year. Took a top cutting and gave it to a friend. As of now his plant is 3x larger than mine and mine has been in perfect conditions. Just took a top cutting of the largest plant and repotted it alone in the hopes I can get mine looking like his. Thanks for letting me complain kthanks
And the references are Speckled Jim from Blackadder and Evilcorp from Mr. Robot. I am going to throw in that Evilcorp logo at least to me is also referencing the real evil corp of america called Enron. Great video as always!
Im very invested in Speckled Jim life journey. Also, i have been buying plants off Amazon for years and not once did I get a dud, now i only buy off Amazon, but from small businesses
Haha so true! The amount of people who give up their chaotic bedroom monsteras [or any other plant they managed to keep alive until it grew to look fugly] for adoption and the plant parents who just can't pass on rehabilitating those poor leaf babies. 😅 Just this week I adopted two enormous 60x80cm and 90x90cm "agave plants" [spoiler: they are aloes]. The bigger one is pristine with two flower spikes and has lived in a conservatory, the other one in a corner of the living room and all her leaves are pointing to one side. Looks like such a little 70s punk. Love it! Owner was a wealthy lady who just found them "too big" so she offered them for free to whoever would pick them up. She thought little punk should be binned though for being "broken". As someone with a visible disability I took that personally.💔 They barely fit into my hatchback, properly scratched up my arms, are heavy af and suffered a couple of broken leaves and bruises along the way, but they'll heal and happily live out their days in my garden and winter sun room instead of being cut up and binned.
My chaotic bedroom monstera is my baby haha she’s doing pretty well for a plant that has moved from a north facing bedroom into a north facing bedroom set back from the garden 😂 she’s even just put off a new baby leaf right from the base
Congratulations on Speckled Jim! He's gorgeous 😍 Thank you for all of your knowledge with monstera's. I hope you and your family have a fantastic weekend 😃
I was too tempted after watching your two videos on this so i got myself one from the same sellar. I received a beautiful, well established plant. They should be giving you a commission!!
Amazing plant and great content and information. I'm still watching your others. lol. I enjoy your voice and manner. Speckled Jim is way to huge a plant for my tiny home but fantastic never the less. I got a bag of perlite to mix when I do the snake plant transfers. Your advice, plus I'm think I need a third grow light. lol Take care and safe planting. Peace.
I put monstera by a window and the leave tips turned brown. I now have it is a sunny area and it seems to be doing better. Just purchased a moss pole so hopefully it won’t be traumatized by stuffing the pole in the pot.
Yet another great video! LOVE the humor about Speckle Jim's private parts, trousers and bottom. Super informative, not too chatty or preachy, just perfect! You have amazing finness.
I'm so excited you got such a steal...but a little disappointed since I just bought a monstera albo cutting that's still living in water and was looking forward to your tips! 🤣
You just solved a serious issue for me! I've been taking my monstera off of my bedroom shelf and putting him in the kitchen window for Sun. No wonder his leaves are turning upward and some of them are bending in a slant like Jims 🤦🏽♀️ One of his leaves are even pointed out like an spear/arrowhead (wish we could post pictures in the comments) I'm going to start leaving him in my room on the shelf and adjusting the blinds. I have a tendency to move all plants to the kitchen window in the morning... Looks like I might have to stop doing that. I appreciate this video 😀
Please do one of these for the philodendron pink princess. I live in an area where I cannot find anything locally to support her, and she is leaning against the wall right now. 😳
Good day Rich, since you received your Monstera I have scoured the web including Amazon. I envy you but I will keep on searching. Jim looks great. I will let you know and I hope soon. Case in point our weather has been just like your climate. Please enjoy your new baby. Don't forget your other babies. See you soon. Take care Have a good weekend. !ove ya 🦁Billie
Hi I convinced myself to buy a Thai after seeing your video..and omg so glad I did an absolute beauty delivered yesterday ..thankyou because tbh I wouldn't have thought of looking on Amazon . Marco as he is now named is in a new pot with a pole to lean on ❤. The root system was insane just got him in a pot be needing a new one soon I no doubt ❤
FYI, a tip for a Thai Constellation. Although they are a monstera, they are actually crawlers! They crawl better than they grow on poles! ;) Also, P.S Thai con monsteras have genetic variagation so they won’t lose their variegation just like a Philodendron ring of fire
I see them grown on moss poles all the time, and they grow perfectly. Their growth pattern isn’t any different than any other Monstera. They grow up trees 🤦🏼♀️
@@GreenWitch1 I don’t believe I’m spreading lies since apparently you’ve haven’t seen one crawl. Both works, I never said which was better. Plus, it can work in different ways for other people in different experience. 😴🤦🏻
Can it be that there are two types of Monstera? My green one didn't want to climb, no matter what it got. I tried coco poles, moss poles, planks. It rooted straight through the moss pole and crawled around it. As soon as I tried to stack him up against the plank, the growth was stunted. And taking a cutting was impossible. The internodal space was tiny. That's why I believe that there are climbers and crawlers. The growth of both look completely different
@@silviap4478 yes! I totally agree with you, the crawlers and climbers are really optional there just to simulate how they are grown in the wild or to help benefit their growth, I’d also say that if you give more light to your monsters it could help the growth, (since light is key for monsteras, and also I’m not sure if your monsters is in an bright spot since it wasn’t specify) but not your fault 😃
love this channel, i grew some monstera deliciosa from seed and theyre doing great but now i think it might be time to provide the biggest ones some support, wondering what i need to do to get them to produce fruit id love to try it
What great information! I just got a monstera deliciosa two weeks ago! It looks like I have 3 stems in the pot, so I’ll need to get separate pots and moss poles for them all?
I did that. I tried to grow all 3, but it became rootbound more than was healthy. So, I separated them, and now they're thriving with dramatically better leaves. I'll be gifting a couple, as I don't care to have multiple.
Oh! This will be my first time separating monsteras and using a moss pole, do you have any tips? Is two weeks too soon to mess with things? I don’t want to shock the plant
Hello from Arizona! About watering, how wet/damp should I have my monstera before the next watering? The plant is a bit floppy after I replanted it and I'm concerned I'm mucking up the watering, with fears of overwatering as the reason I repotted it with new soil is because little bugs were populating the soil. The bugs are gone, and I'm not using the built-in water saucer as I was before (for fear of those bugs returning), but I'm only watering at the roots. Too much? Too little? Thanks for your help. I love your channel!!
QUESTION; I just had a large monstera given to me. It has some browning on some of the leaves with a bit of yellow. The browning has some curling to. I suspect it was underwatered but not sure. What would you advise?
Great video. These plants get so big. I wish I had a good space for them. They just won’t fit in my small studio. I do have a bunch of air plants and carnivorous plants. Have you done a video on them? Would you? It would be great to see. Thank you for the fun video.
Is it still ok to pot the aerial roots? I air layered mine and was going to cut in half but ive changed my mind! Also have you ever used silica to stop any yellow or white going brown?
I have a variegated monstera. I bought it when it had huge “giant” leaves. In one year, it has grown many more leaves but the leaves are much smaller than the original giant size leaves. If I leave it in the sun, it burns. I make sure it gets some direct light and has a good view of the sky, but I don’t know how to make it leaves grow bigger again. I water it when the soil is dry and fertilize once a month. The local nursery wasn’t able to help. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you.
@@SheffieldMadePlants Yes. Just a regular pole, not a moss pole.The original leaves were 13” long with fenestration. New ones are about 9” long, no fenestration.
I suspect I have more than one monstera plant in a pot. Now I’m thinking I should separate them into their own homes. I hate to disturb them again. They just started to look good. I have a moss pole. I didn’t realize monstera had a front and a back. Sigh.
Depends what your goals are i guess. If you want it growing lush and upright then a pole is a good shout. If you like the sprawling look then keeping more than one in the pot can work
Not if the plant roots and the moss pole fit. Smaller pots are better. The aerial roots grow into the moss pole, so it becomes an extension of the pot so you don’t need large pots.
@@SheffieldMadePlants brill thanks! please could you do a video on moss poles? I find them a right royal mystery as to how to keep them happy. Ive heard if they dry out too much they are a nightmare to get rehydrated? Im away for some of the time so Im a bit scared to go down that route just in case Im left with a crispy mess. Plus if they are kept moist am I going to end up with a fungus gnat infestation? Maybe worrying about nothing.
The poles take a lot of moss however I have a little hack ..I had quite a few thinner moss poles I don't use ..so I put them in the back of the plastic one it uses less moss and makes it a bit sturdier and when you need to add on just push the pole into the other one and fasten you plastic one to the other plastic one ..works for me ❤❤
Great channel! I have a question though after watching this. Is there any merit to adding water directly down/inside the moss pole i.e keeping that moist to maybe promote root growth for attachment? I just have a pole (not a plastic thing to fill up like yours). Long story short, mine I got in real bad shape & have used velcro to slowly pull everything up against the pole (to stop it falling over as well). May have to move the pole as it is not where you suggested to put it (I just guessed tbf) but yep, main question, would it help to water it down the pole? TY in advance.
@@SheffieldMadePlants Cool. I have a little advantage in that I just have all the API stuff as I actually keep fish ...... so use the "waste" water for all my plants. Nitrates is what I take out of all of this. Using the API conditioners is what we all use to make it safe for fish. Then we bust it up massive through filters & always looking to reduce Nitrates. Room temp as well. Ty for your reply.
The aerial roots need something to grow into just like they attached to a tree. They attach to a moss pole. You can put it on a stake, but you can’t keep the roots moist on a stake.
Love your channel! Recent subscriber. I have a tiny ‘2 leaf + new leaflet unfurling’ Monstera andanosii. About 6 inches high. I’m getting ready to move her from a 4 inch pot to a 7 inch. Should I go ahead and add a stake?
The only reason you would put it in such a larger pot is to accommodate a moss pole. Plants grown on moss poles don’t need a large pot because the moss pole is an extension of the pot and that’s where their aerial roots grow.
Is it still ok to pot the aerial roots? I air layered mine and was going to cut in half but ive changed my mind! Also have you ever used silica to stop any yellow or white going brown?

The only reason you would put it in such a larger pot is to accommodate a moss pole. Plants grown on moss poles don’t need a large pot because the moss pole is an extension of the pot and that’s where their aerial roots grow.
