      It's called Monstera Deliciosa for two very good reasons:
      1) If you can grow it to produce fruit, the flesh of the fruit is delicious. I have eaten the fruit, grown on a neighbour's plant when I lived in Australia..
      2) But the fruit has a monstrous side to it: Underneath the skin there is a thin dark brown or black layer, protecting the fruit itself. You need to remove all of that layer carefully, with a knife or similar tool, because if you chew it, the layer breaks into razor sharp pieces which will lacerate your mouth, throat, oesophagus and maybe your stomach. Remove the protective layer and the fruit inside is completely harmless.

    I bought a baby monstera (12inches tall with all it's baby leaves) and accidentally left a fan pointed at it for a week. To my surprise the next leaf that came out had three fenestrations on it! I moved the fan and the next 5 leaves had no fenestrations 😂 I think I hacked/stressed it out making it think it was in a week long hurricane! I'd love to see you do an experiment with wind!

    • @100Creed
      @100Creed 6 месяцев назад +6

      It’s likely that it had super bright light where they grow it so the near leave which came was supposed to see this bright light. Instead it saw only your light in your home which probably isn’t that much. So the next leaves turned out without fenestrations.

      I’ve read in a study once that tropical plants fenestrate for this reason, to stop tropical storms from tearing up the leaves. The light theory is the first time I’ve heard of it.

      Interesting! My 1st (baby, 6" tall) M.Del, I've had for 2 years & still no holes or lobes! Still looks like a big heartleaf philo!!There were 5 in the pot, so I think they were seedlings, but IDK if that would make such a huge difference? I dropped her & 2 plantlets broke off, but rooted beautifully! When I went to plant them one had died & the remaining one seems to be doing fine after being potted. It & the original STILL have no holes or lobes!! A more mature one I bought recently came w/ big, beautiful, fenestrations. I may try the fan thing on the 1st 2 to see if it helps them to catch up!! Yeah! I'm impatient!! But w/ Sheffield's videos & Y'all's comments, I'm learning!

Well, it passed by so quick and so much good info I’m going to have to have another listen and take notes! 😅. Excellent, definitely subscribing to your channel and thank you for sharing.
    One last thing…. At the end when you were repotting the last plant your wife wasn’t home, was she? I could tell because you put nothing down on the table… you must put a sheet down of some sort, I use a plastic table cloth I keep just for doing messy jobs like that, I suggest you do the same so as not to incur the wrath of the Mrs. 💜

    We keep our monsteras inside during the cold months (Chicago-based). One year I took a large one and placed it out in our atrium which does not get many hours of direct sunlight but amazingly, this one plant showed burned leaves after maybe three days. Also, our 7 foot schefllera amate exhibited even worse sunlight burn. Both survived. No lasting damage except for the area on my rear where I was kicking myself.

      I agree with Mr. Shuffled. The amount of light you're describing seems optimal for these plants, but you do need to acclimatize them slowly to changes in light. Move them slowly (over a few weeks) toward more light.

    Thank you for the valuable tips. I'm starting again with Monstera after I tossed my previous plant onto compost pile when it became a tangled mess of vines. Oddly enough, new Monstera is old Monstera. Or rather, a tiny chunk of its vine that became lost in my "discard soil" bucket, then grew a vine out of my balcony Echeveria pot, where that discard soil went. Its first leaf got scorched by the sun, but it made a speedy recovery after repotting and is on its 4th leaf, each larger than the former. It also grows a lot more densely now that I know it needs more sun.

The leaves around the slit window on the south wall are far larger than any others. Great tips fella!
    They can also grow with their roots in an aquarium. Started cuttings, and just let them keep growing.

    have you ever tried air layering? if you're planning a cut in the future, instead of directing the new aerial root(s) into the soil, you direct it into a cup of water instead and can watch the roots grow. once established, cut and repot with no worries about root rot!

    You hit on 2 issues that I had to deal with today. I bought 4" potted plants from a grocery store plant shop. I normally give them a bit before repotting, but they felt so wet and heavy that I was worry about root rot, so I transplanted them when I got home. I'm glad that I did, because as I was doing so, that wet, soggy soil was up 1-2 inches up the stems. They just dumped wet dirt all around the stems to top it off. If I had waited a week, they would have started to rot and died. From now on, I'll start checking the stems to see if there's excessive dirt around the base when I get them.

    Thanks for the tips. I have had a monstera plant that has been in my care for years. I hardly did anything to it. Finally this year, I chopped it in two pieces and repotted both pieces in the same pot using an old orchid mix (I am an over waterer.) I gave it some mycorrhizae (diluted in water) to help with transplant shock and the roots. It has been happy so far. Two new growths on the old stem, and the other is growing a new leaf. I can only hope and dream that it would thrive and someday look like the monstera plant that you keep in your bedroom. 😅

Your passion and knowledge about this plant is infectious (: now I’m reading lots about monsteras, but your videos basically sum up all the articles I’ve found! 🪴 when I said I bought ONE monstera that was a lie. I bought 3 😅 After purchasing the ‘twins’ , the third one was a definite rescue: it had broken leaves, the soil was seriously soggy, looked very weathered but it was £5 at the local plant stand. I could not leave her with those evil people! She’s doing much better at mine. Once all fully established I will give away one of them - some of my plants end up as birthday presents 🎁 🪴💚

    I thought you stopped with compost due to fungus gnats ?
    and also, if your plant keeps growing in winter you can keep fertilizing, you can also dilute it more or fertilize less often to be on the safe side.
    I had a monstera produce 2 new shoots after cutting off everything, but it´s not guaranteed. (it was a super leggy rescue plant)
    get a big repotting mat or tarp to repot indoors with easy cleaning up ;)
    also you can easily do single leaf cuttings in water (moss or perlite) , no need to do 2 leafs and remove the bottom one
    happy growing all :D

    I purchased a small deliciosa a few years ago as a baby, maybe 9-10 inches, and it's about 2 1/2 - 3 feet now. It pushed out a leaf with 1 hole 3 leaves ago but it hasn't since. I thought it was maybe my lighting since it's not super close to a window, so I moved it under a grow light. The last 2 leaves have been really big and healthy looking but no holes. It's still a young plant so I can't really tell based on the leaves, but now i'm seriously questioning if I have a borsigiana and not a deliciosa...

    I’m a known pothos killer typically my weapon of choice is water. So I do a purring mix with 20% mychorzial cactus soil, 20% miracle grow potting soil , 20% perlite , 20% pumice gravel, 20% orchid park that has kept them from retaining too much water and not drying out. I also live in a very rainy, cold, wet climate.

    I mist my plants and I will keep doing it. BUT I don‘t just mist them with water, I use water with peppermint-oil and wipe the leaves down. This way I keep dust off the leaves, pests are less likely to be interested AND my cats leave the plants alone aswell bc they don‘t like the smell of it

    Hi Mr Sheffield! Loved this video. I have a Monstera Adansonii that I adore! I do mist it every other day because I figured the plant gets rained on in the jungle and might miss a shower. My plant is in my dining room, by a south facing window and I live in a very dry climate, so the water evaporates quickly. Besides I use the water to actually clean the leaves, so she has no dust. She is healthy and thriving. Thank you for all the tips!

    I didn’t water her when I got her from the store for about two weeks cause she was pretty moist. So who knows. I don’t know if I should prune all the leaves with the black spots or just leave them.
    I wanted to stick a rod to help it grow up, but don’t want to damage a root or roots. I got a fan and placed it about 6 feet from plant and she loved that!! She perked up, but noticed the black spots at the same time on my leaves. It was only one, now three of them have them. I’m truly lost, i feel like a bad plant parent.

    I have never understood the advice to wait to repot…
    The plant is stressed by moving it. So let’s get it happy then repot and stress it again 🤷‍♀️ I repot right away, stressed once. They all do very well. And most of the time the soil the plants come in is usually terrible.

    Interesting factoid on photosynthesis they didn't teach in school. Plants only produce oxygen during photosynthesis stage. Depending on the time of year most of the time plants are net consumers of oxygen. This is why oxygen levels in planted aquariums drop over night and its recommended to have some means of artificially introducing oxygen back into the water column during the nocturnal period to reduce risk of fish suffocating, particularly if you inject co2 into your system during lighting periods

    All my accessible apartment windows face some sort of southern Kansas light. The more delicate small ones get my tiny South-East window. But everybody else? They simply have to learn to deal. Thankfully I try to get most plants as young as possible, even growing many from seed, and this seems to elongate any issue. The bigger ones I’ve inherited have had trouble, but between some clever arranging of other plants in front of them and just saying F it and letting some leaves get burned, the new growth is stronger and happier than ever.

    I purchased a cutting with larger leaves and potted it in a bigger pot. It is not getting new leaves at 10 months. Has a little shoot sticking out but I think it might be the stem that attaches to the support. I am going to give it a support moss pole that I recently purchased. Should I repot it into a smaller planter so the roots are tighter?

      The top cutting should continue as it is because it will just continue from the same stem. Mid cuttings need to grow a new stem so come out juvenile
