The real Planty folks will keep the Plant Craze going. I have been growing and collecting houseplants for about 50 years now, and I cannot imagine not having them. This was a very informative video and Iearned things I didn't know about by Thai Mint and I THANK YOU, Roos!!
THANK YOU! you're the only one who speaks sense on this topic (compared to all those parroting the same half truths without double checking). i recently bought a monstera on a mosspole for the office my wife and was surprized to read that it was a monstera pertusum which i never heard of, but that looked to me like small form with exceptionally high amount of fenestrations (holes in up to two rows, despite leaf size below 40cm). there i noticed the extremely long sheaths and started connecting the dots with my small form albo, my thai constellation and my two green deliciosas which i always suspected were large form due to the leafs reaching more than 70cm and despite the large internodes in the beginning (low light at the start). and with your video i finally am confident to say i have the large form due to the short sheaths much akin my thai.
Like a visit with a knowledgeable plant friend, taking me along to tease apart clues that differentiate my plants. Got up and looked at my Monsteras and then subscribed. Thank you for synthesizing all this, Roos
This video confirms why your channel is my favorite planty resource! Love the way you explain in a clear and caring way ❤ now I want to go to the nursery just to show off my new knowledge 😅
@@plantwithroos yes, the difference is pretty clear. And the result was surprising... The monstera I thought was small form, was actually large. Same with the one I thought was large XD
Thank you Roos! I do have a Albo that is a large leaf form and I recently propagated it on a pole in the same fashion you did and it was the easiest and stress free way to propagate Monstera's for sure! 💚😎
The small form used to get called Monstera Tacanaensis by some botanists (until somewhere in the 70's). There is an article on researchgate that elaborates on it. After a revision it was changed to a M. Deliciosa small form. I think the differences are quite obvious in general, but there are some that are a bit harder to identify. I even believe there is an intermediate form (I think these are hybrids). Some Monstera Mint (especially from Asia) are significantly larger than the small form, but not as big as the common large form. Anyway, enough talks. Awesome video! Groetjes
Hi Roos, so I bought a very large monstera and I thought it was the most full size plant I’ve ever owned, and the seller said it was a monstera bush form, I was thinking it was a monstera deliciosa but I don’t even know what bush form even means? Any ideas or advice for me? Thanks for your great video on telling a part the large or small form! But wtf 🤬 is bush form? Lmao 😜, Ginger
Hey ginger! I'm afraid that might be a sellers term to make it sound more cool / ask more money. It sounds like maybe it's a mature large form, like the huge leaves?
It is a very good indicator to know, large and small form, thankyou. AndI have a small form of Thai con, and it is extremely slower to grow than the large form.
Thank you! I'm not sure Thai con small form exist actually, as they were created in a lab.. So maybe the growth changes once it gets bigger and it looks more like large form?
Great video 😊😊😊❤ My Thai is in front of a south facing window and pushes out a new leaf every 1.5 to 2 months, even in winter as I always have the grow lights on when the sun is not shining!
Hi Roos :) Thanks for our video i went and check all of my monsteras ahah I also have a huge Thai with 16 leaves. This bad boy grows a new one every 2 months or so. I'm currently in the south of France on the sea shore and it's in front of a massive south facing window.
That's awesome! I forgot to include that green large form plants are easier to find that's why I thought maybe Ferry was large form. Hope the video made sense 🤭❤️
This is so interesting! Will check all my monsteras haha 😊 also was wondering what type of camera do you use? Your videos are just a pleasure to watch!
Haha that's awesome! Thank you - I use a Sony Zv-e10 camera with a very nice lens, 16mm 1.4f. The camera is very good at focussing which is a joy to work with, even with the kit lens but this nice lens makes it all even better. I film the up close plant things with my phone (iPhone 15 pro) cos when there's a lot to see, the camera doesn't know where to focus and iPhone is just easy. Oh and on the camera a Røde video mic pro which is amazing!
If you can't tell from the petiolar sheath, I look at the stem and internodes. Anything that's not as compact as I show on my sport is likely a small form - tho I heard something about an in between form 🤪
I usually find that large form have ruffles where the petiole joins the leaves and the nodes are spaced together more, i have both and grow them in average lighting and those theories are usually acurate, unless like you stated they have alot of light available
The internodes is definitely an important way to tell them apart but like I said it doesn't always work depending on light, and the ruffles also doesn't work in my experience. That's why I like the sheaths thing!
@plantwithroos yes I hadn't heard the sheath difference before this video and looking at the ones I own you can definitely spot the difference, the ruffles side of things the only ones I have that have ruffles are the large forms, but I'd imagine the more mature the small form, the more likely they are to develop ruffles?
@@Kira-kg4kl the ruffles isn’t as accurate because the small form does get them too. You can think of small form as a slow learner. Doesn’t get big as fast but will eventually get there
@Latayla yeah I didn't realise this until watching this video, and then a couple months after watching it one of my small form developed ruffles 🤦♀️ sods law 😆
Hey! Philodendron don't have this large form small form thing. But they do have a maturity thing you can check out! The juvenile Philodendron grow from petiolar sheath like I showed in this video. But when they mature they switch to a cataphyll, so the new leaf doesn't grow out of the previous ones petiole anymore. I have a short form video where I show it: Cataphyll vs petiolar sheath | Plant with Roos ruclips.net/user/shortseJPyh6an4MM See what yours are doing!
I only have a couple of large form plants. My Thai definitely matured fast (well.. Fast is relative with Thai 🤭), but the sport is not really sizing up much yet. But I have had that much shorter than the Thai.. So I'm not sure! My small forms generally size up pretty fast actually. I think it might have more to do with light and support than the form?
I have a green monstera deliciosa that didn't grow any leaves for almost 2 years, even though it is located right by a southeast window. It is currently unfurling a new leaf, so I'm relieved. Do you think large form takes a longer time to grow? (If you already answered this in the video, sorry, I might have missed it)
Wow that's so long 🫢 I talked about it in a comment but I'm not sure on what platform - I've mostly noticed top cuttings take extra long and yes also that large form is slower. But I mostly have small form so not a really fair comparison ❤️
Great, informative video, Roos! Thank you. Interested to see what happens with the mint. Also I have to know... was it poop? 🤣 classic cat owner problems!
Hahaha I was wondering if anyone stayed for that part! I think it was that stuff from the anal glands, he's been having some issues with that. Plus it smelled bad but it didn't smell like poop- it smells less bad thankfully!
I don't think it bothers him a lot, just when a poop sticks to his bum and he scoots over the ground which we think is so funny so it's all good 🤭😂 this was the first time he put goo on me so not too bad 😅
To me the internodal spacing and growth habit are still the most reliable and easy tell. Small form may get shortER internodal spaces with high light, but it's still a good gap between nodes. You could easily cut to prop, with space either side of the node. Large form are stacked, the nodes one on top of the other, hard to even cut between Large form also tend to grow as a self supporting bush, almost more horizontal than vertical. Small form is a true vine, a climber, it will stretch upwards and the internodes stretch out to climb till it reaches the canopy / higher light. Large form still go up but in a thick stacked trunk, that may wind around but not like the vine of the small form. Here in Australia they grow as garden plants (even where I live where we get frost) and you can really see that they are a self supporting plant with a trunk. It's really reliable 😊🌱 I agree petiolar ruffles are not reliable 😊
Now that I've grown both for years I agree that it's pretty clear - editing this video even helped to make it more clear. But from a beginner mind, like I was a few years ago, or someone who hasn't seen both in person before, the internodes one can still be very confusing. The petiolar sheath one was much more clear to me back then! Very cool you have them growing all over, maybe for ozzies it's easier because they're so common!
@@plantwithroos Ah yeah ok I guess if you hadn't seen both growing I get that then! 😊🌱 Lol, I think most Australians wouldn't know the difference either, but you're right it is possible to go look at (mostly large form) growing in a garden if one is interested, and see the difference between that and small form 😊🌱 It's definitely great to give people multiple ways of telling, I guess different ways connect with different people! 😊 I was given 2 huge long chunks of large form trunk, the stem so thick I could barely get my hand around it, by a friend from her parent's garden a few years ago - they were just throwing it away after pruning. So I chopped and propped and have a heap of large forms all over the place now 🤣🤣🌱🌱❤
That's so cool!! Yeah different things work for different people but also knowing all the different things together helps - like I said now I also use the internode thing, it's a good combo with the petiolar sheath
You should make a video on how to tell where a growth point is likely to pop up when chopping and propagating a monstera albo because I have a half moon plant and when I get prop I get all green new growths 😢
I have shown that in previous monstera videos - I have quite a few about Monstera propagation. Actually I made a specific video about my half moon plant very recently!
@plantwithroos i got a 30 year old Monstera deliciosa, and a lot of small dorm deliciosa variegata, but i think i got one large form😍 next year i will see better
I found your video because I recently bought a young Monstera off Facebook Marketplace from a seller who said it was monstera deliciosa grown from seedlings. I was kind of sus, but based on your video, it should indeed be a large form monstera! BUT that also means my other two monsteras I bought from Home Depot are also large form monsteras, which sounds crazy. What are your thoughts??
hey! if they're green ones, you can for sure have multiple large form. tho i did notice that on young plants, it can look like large form but than the petioles change once the plant matures and it turns out to be small form. but that's cool, you can for sure have large form from home depot! (tho ive never actually been in a home depot lol 😅)
That makes sense, green plants are easier to find as large form so sport variegated ones have a better chance of being large form 👌 that's why I thought Ferry might be large form!
I don’t know that I have ever heard that borsigiana was another name for deliciosa or that the small form is technically called Deliciosa as well. 🤯 I would like to go down the same rabbit hole that you did on researching this! Any resources that were helpful?
Yeah that was an interesting one right! The research was years ago so I don't have sources, potentially an aquantance told me who works at the botanical gardens here. The (mostly not so helpful) tips to tell them apart were from Facebook groups.
Oh such a great video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 so my thai is small form and my plain old deliciosa is large form.. or is it vice versa 😂😂 I forget.. nope my thai has a short petiole sheath and my plain old has a long one.. My Thai (xmas gift from my hubby) grew 3 leaves right away and now since February its had 1 leaf and its only a partial leaf. Seems the tip didn’t develop 🙄 💩🤣🤣🤣
Ik dacht ik ga gelijk bij mijn monstera albo kijken doet ie beide met zijn blad. Hij bestaat uit 4 planten die niet van dezelfde moederplant komen. Maar eentje doet beide Eentje zou een large form zijn En twee een small form Ik heb het idee dat het bij jonge planten nog niet helemaal stabiel is😅
hahah ok interessant! het kan zeker dat als het nog kleintjes zijn, het niet duidelijk is. Als je wil kun je me een video sturen op instagram (of via mail) dan kijk ik even mee!
I’m late to the party😢 But for anyone looking for a regular Large Form…when visiting garden center or nurseries, look for the Monstera that is potted up with just one vine. The vine will usually look like it’s crawling across the pot. Small forms are usually potted up with multiple vines (despite how large the leaves are) to make them look more appealing
Plants are forever! 👌❤️ I do get people making their collection smaller after the lock downs lifted and they had to get back to their jobs. I'm lucky my job is plants and yoga!
My Thai constellation when kept indoors spent 10 months without putting out new leaves, it was also browning. Luckily I live in a moderate climate, winter temperatures range from 12-18°C and rains a lot so I just moved it outdoors and it gave me a new leaf in one month. Didn't move her again after that haha and it gets some hours of direct sunlight (even in summer). My albo small form also does better outdoors but in no direct sunlight. I find it tiresome how even though my albo has good genetics it has reverted on me three times in a total of 4-5 years, I don't think I'll buy anymore plants with unstable variegation, the thai is bullet proof.
Haha but then.. Does anyone have a borsigiana after watching this video? Nope, just Monstera deliciosa small form 🤭❤️ hope you find one soon for a good (low) price!
I was very late to the plant craze party, and I’m going nowhere 😂 also thank you, I know now my Ikea bought, Monstera is large form. I have no doubt now 🪴

Very interesting and informative video, thank you Roos…..
Thank you! 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you for sharing, really useful information. Was able to determine that my deliciosa is large form 💪.
Thank you, that's awesome!
I heard that large form has ruffles at the petiole/leaf junction. Did you find anything about that in your research?
I talk about that in this video! There's time stamps in the description to see where
Such valuable information thanks a bunch
Thank you for watching!! 🙏🏻❤️

Both my Albos are small form. Some of my green dosis large form and my Aurea and mint are both large form

I’m late to the party😢
But for anyone looking for a regular Large Form…when visiting garden center or nurseries, look for the Monstera that is potted up with just one vine. The vine will usually look like it’s crawling across the pot.
Small forms are usually potted up with multiple vines (despite how large the leaves are) to make them look more appealing
That’s a smart tip! Thank you
Mint monsteras are usually large forms ❤
That fits with the story my friend told me about it being a Thai constellation mint - Thai are always large form and this one is mint 👌
@@plantwithroos yes! Your plants are lovely! Monsteras are my fav.
Thank you!
Plants are a lifestyle, not a craze 😂❤
Plants are forever! 👌❤️ I do get people making their collection smaller after the lock downs lifted and they had to get back to their jobs. I'm lucky my job is plants and yoga!
My Thai constellation when kept indoors spent 10 months without putting out new leaves, it was also browning. Luckily I live in a moderate climate, winter temperatures range from 12-18°C and rains a lot so I just moved it outdoors and it gave me a new leaf in one month. Didn't move her again after that haha and it gets some hours of direct sunlight (even in summer). My albo small form also does better outdoors but in no direct sunlight. I find it tiresome how even though my albo has good genetics it has reverted on me three times in a total of 4-5 years, I don't think I'll buy anymore plants with unstable variegation, the thai is bullet proof.
Oh wow! The Thai story is very cool. But I'm sorry about your plant reversing so much 🥺 stable is definitely great 👌
