I about lost it when you were like, "we gotta be very, very care-" *jet stream of water 😂😂😂
Love this video so much 😂
YES HAHAHAHAHAH I BURST OUT LAUGHING
i sincerely appreciate your dedication to making every video more chaotic than the last :')
Maybe my next one will be normal (it won't).
😂😂😂
I just found him today, he has definitely completed me today 😂
I found a pretty decent sized Monstera *ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD* last year. I slammed in the brakes (really) whipped a u turn and somehow wrestles that f’er into the way back with a lil help from my then 5 year old. I’m sure it was HILARIOUS to watch.
Now, she has really bounced back. I sorta just cleaned her up and set her down. Now she’s a mess. I get like 2-3 new leaves every 4-6 weeks. She’s just *s p r e a d* out all her leaves and I’m sure the roots are a jumbled mess. This got me started in the right direction.
Thank you SO MUCH for this video. As always, it’s helping me get started me in the right direction.
Also, I garden in the living room floor too. I have a tarp and all that to help with mess, but apartment/condo living sucks Sonya gotta do whatcha gotta do. My husband hates it, but knows HE will be the one schlepping the plants up and down the stairs so he deals with it!😊
Haha that's great. Love it
🎉🪴👏👏👏
I recently bought a Monstera with five stems that was leaning heavily to one side, almost crawling out of the pot. I had a hard time finding the right space for it, so I chopped off all the leaning stems, and attached the remaining two to a pole. That thing is going to grow the way I want it to grow!
I laughed a true belly laugh when you sprayed the plant with the hose.😂
Gotta blast the spider mites away
“Doing the least enjoyable thing, separating the roots” that’s literally my favourite part, especially with rootbound monstera 😅
😮 this is 10,000 piece puzzle behaviour
I recently rescued my first monstera on the half-price end-of-summer last-one-available impulse buy and girl she's a mess JUST like this one. So i jumped on here and started binging yours and Mr Sheffield's monstera videos. I LOVE how you guys add dry humor to your information, and the part where you blast the delicate precious baby with the hose freaking kills me. Been looking for it again and I'm so happy i found it! Thank you for your content, you are appreciated!
✨shimmi that shoil✨
I bought a monstera from a local market today and just stepped on this video. Couldn't be a better timing 🙌
Best plant channel on YT
Love how your videos are always informative, but hilarious. I lol when she snapped’ “Go outside!”
Love getting yelled at! 🥲
@@KillThisPlant,
It's bittersweet, isn't it?
I live in Florida - and what you bought is how monsteras grow naturally when planted in a yard. If part of it is near a tree it will grow Up. But mostly they develop into a few big trunks that look like they have fallen over - maybe with a bit of an arch. These lovely indoor plants you all shape - are just that - shaped like a bonsai or an apple tree trained to grow flat and horizontal on a wall...
I let mine grow naturally... no pole and it's beautiful!!!
That's the fun of it! To be fair, houseplants aren't exactly natural. They aren't supposed to be in pots in our houses. It's so much fun to bring in nature and adapting it to our living environment. I love nature in the wild, but at home I like my nature tamed.
Funny and great info. Especially appreciated the just stack them all the same way and strap them to the pole I'm in a hurry method.
I’m so glad you’re back lol always love your videos
Love your soft sense of humor😃
I recently bought a monstera growing in different directions. Going to wait until spring to give it a repot and pole mostly because it's big and I'm lazy.
I always enjoy your videos. Your dry, witty sense of humor is so charming! I think I enjoy watching you because you seem to be just a dude who loves plants and wants to share tips, but you don't try to pretend your life is perfect, your home is perfect, so you're plants must be perfect. My plants are definitely not perfect, so this is the channel for me! Thanks for your hard work on these videos!
Thanks to your videos; I have 3 pots from one plant at Home Depot. The separation helped it grow more!
That first spray after noting to be "very very careful" 😂😂😂
Loved the outro in this one 😂👌
Great video. I need to do something with my messy boy but I didn't know where to start. You made me laugh too.
Hope this helped!
@@KillThisPlant Absolutely - I always thought I had to buy one of those special stakes to support the plant - it never occurred to me to use a tree branch.
These are some very good ideas that I will certainly use - especially laying the plant and bark pole (I have several) down to tie them together. The plant you chose is very much like one I’ve managed to somehow cause the same state on my own. Smh. Thanks for sharing your expertise. Love your channel and dry wit. Your beleaguered (I chose to use this word instead of wtf 😝) stares directly into the camera crack me up! 😂😂😂
Thank You for such eloquent instructions. Brief and packed with great info. I am new to the plants, watched a few of Your videos and have already learned a pile!
Glad it was helpful!
Dude thank you, your vids on monsteras have saved my plants! I subscribed
This turned out awesome!!!
Lol love how it ended lol
Great videos!!!
I love the end! lol.
3:33 😂😂 hilarious
Love your videos
😁
I really like buying plants on sale to take care of them. good luck :3
Great video!
Absurdist plant RUclips is the best plant RUclips!
This was me being normal 😮
@@KillThisPlant Absurd is normal for me as well. Hence the appreciation!
Great idea
Love the kitchen part 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤎
Love 💜 Hurts
When the Monstera 💔Steam Breaks
Lol Lee 🤣
I said outloud like way back filming Lee could hear "soon the aireal root down!" I swear I'm always ticking in the roots but they root so fast and fed my plant it's worth it
That was some good morning typing with the help of autocorrect. Since your Canadian to I'll pretend you fully understood 🤣😭
Video starts at 6:21, everyone :)
My favourite and best Monstera grows in the most peculiar way.
This is exactly what i need. it's so helpful
This was an interesting video! More!!!!
Thank you thank you, you gave me confidence to treat my monsteras better❤😂🎉
Mine had milipedes, spiders, etc.
Spending 70$ on that monstera is the biggest crime 0:31
It was just the pot that was $70. So actually, the crime is even bigger 🙃
I split up and repot mine into three part this weekend and thats what the roots looked like. Idk why i gave myself 2 hours of daylight to do it. Wnded up taking at least 5 to 6 hours combined (had to continue the next day) so wish me luck on their recovery!
Oh man. What a job. Hope the plant stabilizes.
When you attempt to save a plant waiting two months is waiting for a quick death of the plant. The problem is in the big box stores the plant has already been mistreated/ overwatered/ rootrot and is decline. Big box stores are not spending money for training in the plant area. Anyway, you have to take steps to correct this. You are correct in saying you don't need to go to a larger pot size.
I guess I should have clarified this plant didn't come from a big box store, didn't show any signs of root rot, or fungal infections. But you'd be surprised by how quickly more sun, an antifungal spray, and foliar fertilizer can solve that problem without any other intervention.
Maybe that's for another video.
Enzymes! For root rot- kind of just changed my life
Also using that sprayer on the roots usually saves me tons of time
Your videos are my favorite!! I watch them regardless of the subject
Well done
Do you use a pot with a hole on the bottom?
I like to put only one plant in a pot. If you grow it up a moss pole or direct the aerial roots into a separate pots you will have an easier time chopping it up whet it becomes too tall. You will already have roots.
Maybe mine could do with separation. it's a bit wild for the size of the room, visitors are disappearing behind it.
Lee, you mentioned doing something to prevent rot on that stem (or root?) That snapped apart.
So, what didja do for it?
💕🌱💕
Sulphur powder. Here's a full video

My big Monstera is kinda curling her leaves. But not to the front but the back (maybe down is better). She has enough water (at least I think she has). She doesn’t have any pests, I checked and I use a Grow light. I don’t know what to do. Maybe it’s the humidity. Any tips?

Was that a Plants with Krystal soil shimmy?
Meanwhile, having wrapped up my pre-winter repotting and planting, I have ordered more bulbs and plants. Lol.
💚🪴💚
Love it ❤
Quick question, mine is coming up on 2 months soon, but it'll be winter where I'm located.. Is it still advisable to change soil/repot in cold months?
It's fine, as long as you continue to provide as much light as possible and don't go up in pot size too large.
I love ❤️ your videos 😂
Thanks!
Oh, that intro was good.
I would like to ask you about the branches you are using for plant support. I really like how it looks, but I am worried about pests it might carry. Do you treat it after bringing home? If so,how? Thank you
I buy these from a store so I don't treat them, but if you were to find them you can soak them in water and hydrogen peroxide.
Search for aquarium channels and how they treat wood before putting it in their tanks.
HI there, where do you get your plant stakes?
Always locally. Usually mom and pop plant stores carry them.
Hey Lee, since you live in my neck of the woods (Scarberia), what are you favourite places to shop for plants? Any recommendations? Also how many varieties of Monstera Deliciosas do you own?
I think 5 or 6!
I mostly try and shop at mom and pop places but you'll just as likely find me at Sheridan. I dont really know any places near Scarborough. Do you know some I could check out?
Dumb question: Is it possible to use one Monstera as a kind of pole for an other one when they have a similar size? I recently bought a Monstera pot and the backsides of the stems are facing each other... Just wonder if it will look messy when I let them grow this way.
I think it will look cool. When they are planted to grow naturally in Florida no one is worried if they look messy - its their natural state to each look unique
@@TheGypsyVanners I've never seen a Monstera growing natually... Germany isn't the optimal spot for them. ^^;
Just asked because Lee said in an other vid that they grow better, when they have a pole.
I don't use a pole, and mine is huge and gorgeous naturally!
At some point when your Monstera becomes unstable it will start to revert to smaller leaves. So you can try it if but another stem won't be as stable as a stick or a wall or a tree.
@@KillThisPlantI have two absolute beasts that I adopted at never staked, utterly contorted, and they grow the biggest leaves you could ever hope for. If large monsteras somehow revert and produce smaller leaves, my plants haven’t heard this fact.
I wish a saw your video earlier. I bought a monstera with very similar roots… so I just repot it into a larger pot without cutting any of the roots a week ago 😢 shoud I take it out and cut them or wait some months until spring?
It's fine to wait
Hi what kind of poles do you use on your monstera plants
Usually birch or cedar
I have a 10 inch. It’s been about a month and just been indirect sunlight and water. Got a bigger pot and tropical dirt. Question, should I use big rocks mixed or just in bottom layer? Lava rock? No rocks. Help. Gonna take to a girl in sept Oct when it gets bigger to use sticks to prop up. Are you using tree branches? Help. Tell
Me everything. Thank you.
I would check out my soil playlist.
I bought a monstera a few days ago and the first thing I noticed when I got home was a bug wandering on the roots. I paniced and for some reason showered it with rather hot water. and swapped the soil + to a bigger pot. wish Ive known about your tips before then. You think I made huge mistakes? :(
Hot water on your roots is not a great choice.
Was it ready for a bigger pot?
What pest was it? there aren't many soil pests that you can actively see that could actually harm your plant.
I have one of these.
That was a rare forked monstera and you ruined it! lol nice video!
Oh shoot. I'll put it back together, then double the price. 🤔
10x that plant!
Where do you get those thick poles?
A local plant shop
Sweeeeeet ✊🏾😎☘️☘️☘️
how do you treat for pests? just hose it down lol?
ruclips.net/video/PUjftM56ghs/видео.html
Do you ever bottom water plants?
Never.
I've been able to kill 2 monsteras, so I bought 1 big monstera from a person who was able to keep it for 4 years and make it big in the first place. It was pretty ok the first few months, but now I'm slowly killing it (again). I don't know wtf is my problem. From the past experiences i'm scared to water too often, but also I pour a lot of water so I can not diagnose the problem. I water once in 1-2 weeks and give maybe close a 1 liter of water. I got myself moisture meter and the soil is really dry everywhere but in the middle meter says around 4-5 (moist). I'm really anxious to water because i'm scared of root rot. Also I'm not sure if the plant is just thirsty. Bottom leaves are slowly turning yellow and I'm worried every day I see the plant. In case there is not enough light (because its winter not in Finland) I got 2 plant lights. I'm so desperate I want to call a plant doctor and do everything for me. 😭 I'm LITERALLY ready to pay someone to make the plant thrive.

My leaves won’t get holes I only have three leaves and just lost one. Please help. I got it from my granny I dont want to keep it till it die I want it to thrive.
Sounds like mostly a light issue, unless it’s pests.
@@KillThisPlant no pest, did have gnats they died but I see they came back.
I just changed soil to miracle grow tropical plant mix and brought plant food.

wait. I posted on another video my question but just found this video and now I have my answer :)
Great!
😂😂😂😂😂i enjoyed this

The pot was $70 and yes, still made me cry.
