Deliciosa plants are beautiful and easy to care for, but they can grow quickly and take over your space if you don't prune them back regularly. In this video, I'll show you how to add support and prune back overgrown Monstera Deliciosa plants so they stay healthy and look their best.
What you'll need:
✅ Bamboo sticks ➡️ geni.us/w49w7j (Amazon)
✅ Raffia ➡️ geni.us/awRN (Amazon)
✅ Pruners or scissors ➡️ geni.us/c0VJA (Amazon)
✅ Rubbing alcohol ➡️ geni.us/WjAlh (Amazon)
Instructions:
Take a few minutes to assess your Monstera Deliciosa plant and decide which stems you need to raise or prune.
If you're just raising the stems, use bamboo sticks and raffia to attach them to the sticks.
If you need to prune the stems, use sharp pruners or scissors to cut them back. Be sure to clean your tools with rubbing alcohol before and after pruning.
Tips:
1. The best time to prune overgrown Monstera Deliciosa plants is in early spring when they're starting to grow new leaves.
2. If you have any leftover cuttings, you can place them in water and root them. Once they have roots, you can repot them in soil.
I hope this video helps you keep your Monstera Deliciosa plants looking their best!

nice video! and good idea to cut back the bamboo stakes. I tried to move a plant with long bamboo stakes and almost poked my eye out
:) Thank you for watching.
Green Cheers and may your Monstera plant grow happy & healthy!
Sometimes a day after i water the plant i see little drops of water on the leaves. Did i gave it to much water? ..
Wow this was amazing! Will be a big help for my monsteras
Hi! I am glad this video is helpful.
May your Monstera plants grow happy and heathy!
Very helpful and clever. Thanks for this
Hi! Thank you for watching! Green Cheers!
You do have good flowers
Finally, I will be able to take care of my Monstera- she was growing wild for years and I couldn't get a grip on her!
Woohooo! Great to hear! Thank you for your comment and for watching. Green Cheers!
How did you do it? My monstera is beautiful, but it's growing to the side and the stem is pretty stiff. I find this video very helpful because it shows an older monstera. Thank you.
How do I prune the Monstera's thick trunk. I want to shift my plant to a better place but the trunk is long and twisted with few leaves. Help!
Hi! Thank you for watching!
You may prune your Monstera plant back to any desired width.
Not to shock your plant too much, cut the stem in a few attempts - once every 10-14 days.
Make each cut above a node.
Save the top part of the stem with the node, place it in water to propagate.
All other leaves can be cut off as you go and placed in a vase as a nice leaf arrangement. These leaves will last long time, just remember to refresh the water frequently.
Green Cheers!
Loved your video. Excellent demo and explanation. My Monstera has spread out but not many leaves like the above. I will follow what you did with your plant. I have subscribed too. Thank you :)
Hi! Thank you for watching and subscribing!
Glad the video is helpful.
Green Luck & May your Monstera plant grow happy and healthy! 🌱
We had one that was 12' x 12'. It was SO HEAVY we couldn't move it. Eventually we had to and the roots had grown into the wall and the floor.
Hi and thank you for sharing your Monstera plant story.
You can trim those aerial roots. Trim close to the stem using sterilized, sharp shears or scissors.
Green Cheers & May your plant grow happy and heathy!
Hiiiiii
Gardenia
Water it when
Moisture meter is at ... ????
Hi! Thank you for watching!Water Gardenia when the meter reading is between 4-6.
Green Cheers!
What if the one stem that needs to be raised has extended far beyond the pot? I don't want to lose that stem because it has gorgeous big leaves, but want to have it grow upward instead.
Hi!
It is not always possible to raise a stem when it is matured and not flexible ...
Don't be afraid to prune your plants to keep them in the desired shape.
If you cut this leaf together with the "knot", you can place it in water and, when new roots show up, potted in the same pot or in a new pot.
Green Cheers & Thank you for watching 🌱
Omg 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 THANK YOU so much for this! This is quick, simple, and comprehensive. Exactly what I needed.

Thank you for this wonderful video! I was just gifted a mature and overgrown Monstera and am learning as much as I can. By chance do you have a link for the container you have your Monstera in that goes inside the pot?

Really great video, helped me a lot!
Hi! So happy to hear that! Green Chers 🪴
My monsters stopped growing, however it's healthy, just stopper growing. What might be the reason?
Hi Moxa,
The plant might not getting enough light; it might be root bound or in need of plant food.
This is the plant food we use and recommend for all plants mycityplants.com/products/all-purpose-fertilizer
Green Cheers! 🌱
I was ready to give my monstera a new home as it was starting to take up far to much space I added a moss pole a while ago and tied a few limbs up but it's just grown crazy in recent months maybe I'll have a go at pruning it back a little thank you.
Hi!
Glad I was able to provide you with an option so you can keep your Monstera plant :)
Green Cheers & Thank you for watching 🌱
Yours looks much better. I purchased one a few weeks ago. I have wanted one for so long because of the Swiss cheese leaves.😊 I like the idea of using the bamboo and raffia. That’s what I’ll use. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching & May your Monstera plant grow happy and healthy! 🌱
Hi how ru miss u
Dieffenbachia should be watered when moisture meter measures how much?
Hi!!!!
2-3 zone.
Green Cheers!
Oh! I had non idea you could use Raffia to tie it! Is it softer then a rope would be?
Hi!
Raffia is softer material but rope also works. I use raffia mostly for its aesthetics + it comes in variety of colors.
Thank you for watching! Green Cheers!
monsteras dont grow wide they climb normal on trees so stacking is a must do ! the monsteras in this video are all just a wiold mess
Hi! Thank you for sharing your opinion.
You are right about the climbing habit of these plants, but some people prefer a "bush" look for their Monstera plants instead of staking. :)
Green Cheers!
@@Mycityplants then pot more then one plant in a pot and prune it often that it stays a bit compact then it would be so much better :'D this big bush is realy not nice xD
Thank you, our monstera is out of control and this is SO helpful! Hopefully we can contain it until spring when I cut it back as you instructed :) 2 Questions for you (or anyone who knows is more familiar with monstera pruning than me!) --
1. Do you ever cut the areal roots when you prune? Mine are growing all over the place.
2. When staking the plant, do you ever tie the stem to the bamboo up higher, as well as next to the base? As in, do you tie it to multiple spots on the bamboo stick? Wondering if this would inhibit growth or be ok if it needs more support. (same question for my leaning bird of paradise, I just watched your vid on that too!)
Thanks so much, I just subscribed and am looking forward to learn from more videos on your channel :)
Hi!
Thank you for watching and subscribing!
Monstera Plant
Yes, you may cut those aerial roots.
Yes, you may tie stems up higher and at the base - just remember to check on those areas frequently and loosen up the ribbon/raffia, or move it over it to a different spot if it gets too tight for a stem.
Bird Of Paradise Plant
The same goes for tying stems of this plant.
You may see how to in this video: bit.ly/3inszEo
Green Cheers!
This is the most helpful monstera video Ive seen, thankyou. I have a question about pot size. How many plants can you fit in 30cm diameter pot? Is depth of the pot important? How big were the pots in this video?
Hi! Thank you for watching!
Yes, the depth of a pot is important.
larger plants have larger root system - pot should be deeper.
smaller plants have smaller root system and the pot should not be as deep as for larger plants.
30cm diameter planter will be a great fit for:
- Single 20-23 cm pot diameter of a Monstera plant
Depth should be at least approx. 25 cm and no more than 30 cm
- Combining 2 plants each 12.7 cm pot diameter
Depth should be at least approx. 17 cm and no more than 22 cm
** The planter we use in this video is 33 cm diameter.
Green Cheers and Happy Growing!
Yes, very helpful! exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
Hi! Thank you for watching! I am happy this video is helpful!

Thank YOU! Green Cheers!
Can a schefflera amate be planted in complete pon?. I do have a schefflera arboricola that has been in all pon for a year now, and it loves the pon, growing like crazy. Could you please give me your thoughts. All pon or to leave in soil and cover all around with pon?. Thank you so much.
Hi Kay,
Any plant can be potted just in PON.
The reason we do not use PON for large plants in that the pot becomes too heavy to handle.
Green Cheers! 🌱
@@Mycityplants Thank you for responding. So true for large plants. I have learned my lesson. I will not plant in pon at all. Thanks again.
Hi, can you do a video on how to use LECA balls rather than soil? thank you!
Hi!
I do not use Leca and, unfortunately, will not be able to provide any helpful info.
The good news is that there are many videos about it on YT.:)

I use Bamboo sticks or metal stakes for Monstera plants.
