- G'day, you mob! In today's video, I show you some water propagations that I've been working on recently. My Monstera deliciosa albo (reverted), Thai Constellation, and Brazilian form.

The real game changer for me and water propagation was including a bubbler or air stone to make sure the water stayed oxygenated

I’m so nervous to propagate my monstera, I don’t want to mess it up 😂 your videos are giving me a boost of confidence
Hehe I know the feeling. Let me know how you go if you decide to do it :D
I'm gonna have to try this with my Thai constellation. I was afraid to propagate it honestly, but yours did so well.
It should do okay, particularly with the bubbler.
Actually, ya can still block the reversion with a special UV light treatment, the wavelength of the light has to be below 370nm to be effective but this method could potentially allow your cutting to regain variegations.
I learned this from a botanical institute while studying botany :)
Does this work for this type of variegation though? I think the Florida Beauty is chimeric more so than viral or a stable genetic type.
@@petevsplants7516 yes ❤
It will work 😊
I have used the UV lighting he's referring to for about 12 months and had great success.
Although I had chopped them right back before hand.
@@ellewright6991 where can you find this lighting system? I would love to try on my reverted andansonii
@@tassiewandererdid you figure it out?
I understand the frustration and the preference for variegated and healthier plants. What I don't understand is considering plants as low and high level, putting them in the trash even if they're still alive, which is pretty sad and tells a lot about your relationship with plants.
or he just doesn't want a bunch of propagations that aren't desirable, no point in adding more labor and time into plants that aren't worth selling or keeping
@@zack-lk8if He could just put them outside for someone to take though. It's still a living thing, (sure it's not like a human or a animal) and because it's not variegated or desirable he's just going to throw it away? If you really think about it, it's sad that we throw life away like this.
@@zack-lk8ifwhenever I have plants I don't want anymore, I underprice them and they're gone within a day or two. When I was killing my giant alocasia, couldn't figure out what was wrong, I passed her along for $10 and girl was out of my hands that day. Trashing them can just introduce invasive species and cause more problems than you think you're solving. If they "aren't worth selling" then don't sell them, offer them for free and someone will come collect that pathetic plant on top of the cabinets that you always forget about, there are always hobbyists looking for underpriced plants that we could help, most of my plants were unwanted propagations that are now thriving and probably doing better than their mother plants. I found a monstera that was so big it didn't fit in their green bin and was toppled out of it, and I feel no shame in hosing that sucker off because now he goes to my ceiling and has even started showing variegation in his newest leaves now that he outgrew one room and was moved, gets more light now and he's getting to the point where he might hook into my ceiling with the air roots. If I can't find spaces for his propagations, I'll pass them along for free since that's how I got this beast. I love the look on new hobbyist faces when they come to buy a little monstera cutting to try out and I hand them a beefy plant that I don't have the space for, even seasoned hobbyists get so happy when I hand out freebies that I would have thrown out otherwise
Hi Pete! I cannot speak from experience because I have yet to own a pink princess. However, I was watching one of Kaylee Ellen’s old videos today and she talked about how pink princesses are incredibly annoying for “reverting”. She talked in detail about how they often do so randomly and are also very prone to doing so after being cut. BUT she mentioned that more often than not, they will actually get their variegation back after several new leaves which I know can take a bit of time. Like I said, I can’t confirm this from experience but it was a neat little tid bit of info. So maybe don’t give up hope! Your cuttings may improve with time.
Love your videos! 🖤
Very interesting. I guess I'll have to see how it goes haha :D
Yes I remember Kaylee saying that the color will come with age.
I put pieces of my pink princess in the aeroponics clone Station and within a week I had an amazing amount of roots and within two weeks there was enough for me to be able to pot it up. So impressed
Amazing work :D Love aeroponics!
I took your advice on soil and my plants are now THRIVING, so thank you so much for that. And my monstera albo prop that I was sure I was going to lose now has growth bumps, so I'm very hopefully it will produce (and retain) healthy roots
Wooooo! High five, mate! Good work!
“Affordable” in Canada is about $120-$180 for a Thai Constellation. I haven’t seen one lower than $120 and it was for a small plant. I just bought one for 145+ shipping and I cannot wait until it gets here 😊
*edited to say that the prices are definitely coming down a lot even in the last 2 months since I first commented! I’m seeing juvenile plants for as low as $70-$90 now instead of well over $100
Canada here too, they're still so expensive!!! I've still never seen one irl 😭
I live in the north eastern US and an “affordable” plant is about $100-$150, but they’re small, no fenestrations yet. Probably from TC. Cuttings and props sell for a little less but I rarely see them, I always see albos and aureas for $100 per leaf
I live in Canada and got a nice
Plant for 70$
Can’t wait to see that Brazilian pop! Love the leaf shape on them.
Yeah, they're pretty cool! Hopefully it starts growing fast :D
Water growing is my favorite!!! (Long term). I love your vids!!!
Yeah I think I've seen that plantfluencer living on the Canary Islands doing that, right? Plants in the Tropics or something?
@@petevsplants7516 I’m gonna have to check that out. Thanks for responding. You’re awesome!!! 😃👍🏼🌱
My pleasure, mate. She hasn't posted in a while as she just had a kid, but I loved her content hehe
Our big box store set out 20 Pink Princess for $19.99@
The smaller leaves towards the bottom of each plant were highly variegated in brilliant pink and crème. The larger and prolific upper leaves had reverted to a bronze/green.
The ID tag simply named them as philodendron.
It will be interesting to see how your PP mother plant grows out.
Great video!
Interesting. I wonder if they were just cutting their losses at that point. Try cutting them back if you get one.
Yeah same here in ohio, in the US, got a large one with like 4 baby shoots for 24 dollars. Not bad.
Love the M. Brazil I think it’s so much prettier. 😍 The Thai’s are busting out on Etsy their everywhere. I got mine in 2019 still no regrets, but like you it’s gonna hit a lot of ppl. Glad you didn’t still have 20. Lol 💚 Makes me wonder what Costa Farms doing with the Thais now? 💚
Yeah good question re: Costa Farms. NO idea... lol
They’re sending them out to ace hardwares. They’re in the very ace in my city right now fir $85 a pop
I would definitely be interested in your Thai constellation!!
Hehe you in Victoria?
Thank you for your help, saved me alot of money
Just discovered root rot on my thai 🙄 Like 95% of roots gone. 😄 I prefer water propagation so will try that. At least then I can see what is going on in there. 😅
Sorry I don’t live in your area as I’d buy them from you; I’m in the USA. Nice big roots. Thanks for sharing!
Hehe cheers, mate :D
Hi neighbour! Great video ❤
I'm dying get myself PP one. Still cannot find one with enough pink for the right price!! Still pricey what I've seen. 😢
Yes, I'm waiting on a good, affordable prices, for a Thai!!!
Nice! Hope you get one soon
I have had scale for years now, never much of a problem. Untill I got antheriums :( When scale gets on your leaves they get deformed when they get bigger
Ah bugger... Will definitely have to keep an eye out for those guys on my Anthuriums then
🐸🧦
Great video Pete!
I have a 'burgundy princess' that's doing quite nicely. 😋
Not anything highly variegated, but it's always a surprise.
Good work! I think I'd almost prefer one like that than low var.
i dont put my princesses in water to root anymore, i had such a time with getting them to root in water, so, i decided to just put the node in a well draining soil in two weeks or less i not only have roots she gave me leaves. it works every time, for me its a no fail plan.
I'll buy one of those tc constellation. 🤩
I can't even talk in text now!
Monstera 🤩 T h a i C o n s t e l l a t i o n.
I promise I'll go off like a frog in a sock.
haha if you're in Aus, too easy :) I've got one left. PM me on instagram :D
How long do you let the cut ends callous before putting in water? Do you put anything on the cut ends?
It probably doesn't matter too much if it's in water, but usually 30 mins or so minimum.
Thank you Pete for another informative vid. What nutrient solution do you use in your water prop? Thank you!
🪴 POT UP THE PINK PRINCESS, THE NEXT SET OF LEAVES MAY COME OUT PINK🌸
Hehe fingers crossed
Pink Princess is a genetic varigation variation. Meaning: the varigation is random, often goed 'dark' after cutting or not getting what it needs, bit Will be able to come back again!
Hi Pete... You mention you're been using some of your Nutrient Solution when you propagate in water. What is this Nutrient Solution?
Hi, how long did you use the bubbler for?
Pete good morning! could you help me to know what kind of pests control do u use for your leaf , it'll so helpfull/ Thanks
Yeah monstera mints are the bees knees now at least in the states, and how much are Philodendron pink princesses going for in AU at the moment?
In Aus, depends. If it's the 'marble' form, still a few 100 for a large one. If it's the standard form, probably $20-30
Another interesting video.
You mentioned putting the monstera outside, will it survive in Victoria outside?
I've been thinking of trying one outside myself but worried Winter and frosts would kill it.
Haven't been able to find anything online to confirm one way or another.
I've got a few out there now. I've been to a few houses around here where they have huge Monstera deliciosa large forms just growing in the backyard. One was 30 years old and practically a weed lol
@@petevsplants7516 well I am off to the nursery to find a nice one and will give it a crack.
Thanks for the heads up.
Hehe happy hunting.
No probs just protect from frost and too much sun,,there is a superb example as you walk around Lake Benalla, it's on a back yard fence under a huuuge oak tree AND has fruit!
Hi Pete can u help me pleaseee, I have a Thai concelation with severe root root, all leaves are off I just have the nozzle its green yayyy do I place it in moss in a snap lock bag , re pot it in soil or let it sit in water to grow root I really want to save this lil guy plz help me
I'd water prop it with a bubbler if it has no roots.
🤯Never throw a plant away😱
:S my bad haha
Just got a Thai con for $80. Someone sells Thai con and albos all types for under $100 for plants that get big in 8 months. Idk if this guy did tissue culture and acclimated them and selling them cheap.
Here in the inland empire, also I got a Thai con for $40 it’s a node that has 2 broken leaf and 1 leaf that just opened, and it has beautiful fenestrations it’s exaggerated
Do you ship to Sydney Pete?
Yeah, I can :)
ahhhh I want a T.con or an Aurea do I need them no do I want both yes 🤔 🤣
Haha 100%
How do you not freak about the rot? Lol ugh I'm so paranoid with rot.
Do you ship to Hawaii?
Only within Australia :( we've got strict export/import laws :(
What is a bubbler? I can’t even find this on google 🥴
pump + air stone :D
@@petevsplants7516 thank you!!
Where can we message you? Id love to buy a monstera from yoy
Love your videos! I have been wanting an Albo/Thai for a while I found a local shop that had some thai’s and they are smaller. I was curious, with all your knowledge, would it be ok to pot them together for a fuller plant? Or leave them separate?
Hey Paul, you could and I've seen people do it. Though, they'll probably size up quickly, the Thai particularly because it's a large form Monstera. But if you want to save space or having a fuller plant whilst they're small, yeah, no reason why you can't :D
@@petevsplants7516 thanks for the reply! I am understanding that they will grow pretty full on their own? If I plant them together can they stay together or would I eventually have to split them? Will they sprout new ones from each as they get bigger or will they not multiply? I appreciate your input! Thanks again!!
Where do we send you a message on eBay? I want, please! 🙏🏼
Hey mate, msg me on instagram :D I can only ship to Australia though.
Seaweed extract..... thank me later.
Like a Boss?😂😂😂😂
*Frog in a sock!* 😂 - BUT! Yes necessary information. I have a few cuts on water.
But yes. Thai constellation and monstera in general has gotten so cheap here in the Philippines. *Around just like 3-6$* or It’s basically a give away.
But I love them non the less. My favorite plant. Ever.
That's insane!
