Hey, great video! Is it possible to do this in autum time? Or it is better to wait to spring? Thx❤😊

Love your content!

So I bought a young one from a local nursery and it’s largest leaf only had two fenestrations on it. The babies have none. Should I worry 😢

In a Mediterranean climate I had a monstera growing unattractively up a high wall with all the foliage near the roof, and the old, ugly aereal roots attached to the brickwork. I pulled it down and cut the stem into segments which I lay down in pots. Every single segment started growing. It was spring. Even the top with the foliage grew when I stuck it into a large pot.

Fantastic I have a dying birch tree and I’ve been trying to think of ways to use its branches!

no1 - the store recommends otherwise, they specifically say to repot the plants asap because the soil they come in is not suitable for growing them outside of the greenhouse

I am also an expert at not asking employees ridiculous questions. Any questions for that matter.

I know that this video is a year old...and I watch some of your videos which are very informative. However, I disagree with you, regarding the size of the pot which you are putting your plants in. If you are in the jungle or in the forest, from which this plant originates from, the ground has plenty of room to stretch its roots out. So why would you put it in such a small pot? This baffles me. I understand if it were a small plant, but it's large...in fact very large. To me that's like putting a Mastiff in a kennel meant for a chihuahua. Please consider this!

I've been using LECA for my plants for years now and have never encountered any issues. I love experimenting with various types of plants, and to my surprise, about 90% of them have thrived in LECA. I rarely clean out the algae and have never used fertilizer, yet they continue to grow remarkably well. Three years ago, I also started growing tiny bonsai trees in LECA, and to my amazement, they've been doing exceptionally well! They've grown super fast, producing plenty of leaves and new growth. It's been an exciting and successful experience

Have never been using only LECA. But most of my plants will have a thin layer of LECA at the bottom of their pots. Some of them will have LECA also at the bottom of the outer pot, if they are sitting in plastic pots that is in a decorative outer pot. Some of the root growth I've seen pushing out of the bottoms of the pots when the plant has outgrown its pot, have been insane! I have Philodendrons, Monsteras, Begonias, and vining/climbing types such as Njoy's, photos etc. Orchids. Spider plants grown as bonsai. Snake plants, succulents and cacti's. So far I haven't run into a plant who doesn't seem to like the LECA at the bottom of their pot. My potting mixture is typically a regular potting soil, perlite and orchid bark mix. And potting soil, sand, perlite mix for those snake plants, succulents and cacti's. With Orchids, I do not use LECA. Just a bark and moss mix so far. I prefer well drainage, as I tend to worry like crazy over root rot and easily feel concerned when I notice a plant's soil is still very wet after a week since the last watering. So it is definitely part psychological for me to want LECA to help with drainage and air in the bottom of my plants pots 😅

why is it a problem to put it in a bigger Pott?

Is it me or do they look top heavy? Id be afraid they’d fall over.

I'm so glad you mentioned about the loving your plants too much. That's why I kill succulents 😂😂

I love your humor so much. I'm glad u stumbled across youc

plants are not slaves of peoples mental EGO and emotional problems!!.......THEY ARE HEALING not torturing...if you start throwing away what you dont like...(you maybe do it because you already done anything or it is too thick) but .people will get a habit they will buy it throw it away because it has only 2 yellow leaves to make room for another plant.......... ..SOME PLANTS CANT WORK BECAUSE THEY ARE HYBRIDS!!!!!MUTATIONS!!!!WEEK GENETICS!!!!!TOOO MUCH MANIPULATION! !WE ARE FORCING PLANTS From a Dschungel to fit in our homes!!!!!! and when it doesnt work we are unhappy and have mental problems! because of two yellow leafes and throw them away! not a nice treatment and not FAIR!!!!!!and not healthy for yourself! if you keep doing it i guarantee it it will make the other plants unhappy because plants are comunication too! ......HOW YOU CAN BE UNHAPPY ABOUT A Plant which doesnt work WHEN YOU CAN THROW IT AWAY in seconds!!!!... THATS NOT HOW LOVE WORKS!..Why people think rescuing makes someone unhappy.-------- 80% of my plants are rescued plants ,,and they WILL GIVE ALWAYS MORE BACK! THAN YOU THINK!!!!!....YOU cant rescu every plant and it is normal if you start feeling very unhappy and very stressed IT IS NOT THE PLANT it is A WRONG FIXATION to something which you make respnsible for your happiness...YOU MUST DO OTHER THINKS TOOO! and time to time you must take a time out!....when it starts turning into obsession for perfektion or making you feel you cant handle it or whatever! WHY THROW AWAY PLANTS which can be rescued or even still healthy enough to overcome it !!!! THATS NOT HOW LOVE WORKS!!! As long as the roots are healthy every plant can grow back unless it is extremely sick to the point it rots! DONT throw plants away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!that are healthy and have potential.......it HURTS THEM and ME VERY MUCH to see them in these trashbacks although they are defintily not that sick .........but i am sure you didnt solve this so called unhapiness caused by plants ......SAD CHOICE!!.. Know your plants wake up every morning saying am i the NEXT!

This is great information.. specially the first 3mins of this video

Send them to me instead of killing them lol

Omg you and Mr. Sheffield crack me up. This made my day

...the plants are balancing and managing themself to changing weather condition and nutrition balance...and the new leafes are more healthier my experience........my opinion is that the nutritions in the yellowing leafes iffer from the fertilizer. and it might be like selffertilizing.............and preparing for the next period.....most people dont talk because of knowledge they talk just to talk......Copycats

I never repot my indoor plants right when I get home. Cause I cant afford new nicer pots till months later when I have money saved but by then my plant has already grown enough for me to urgently have to repot it

Another thing to try: If you have a room with not enough light try a lower light plant like the zz plant. And leave a light on for 10/12 hours. The one in my windowless bathroom is about ready to be repotted... again.

I don't think this applies to store-bought herb plants, at least in my experience.

Unless the plant is that big or the pot is that heavy pick it up when you know it's dry and put it in a sink before watering. Then, after draining, feel the weight difference and adjust the amount of water by weight thereafter. Over and under water problem solved.

Why are the comments on an 8 minute old video over a year old? :O

Dude I love your vedios so much

why not earthworms in the pots?? i deff do. they been good.

Should I avoid repotting newly bought plants? I bought herbs, repotted them, watered and set on a window (it was rainy and I didn't wanted them to drown outside). The soil got moldy and the plants died.

Very interesting! Thank you for the info!

😂lol, I love your dad.

Thank you for helping to save my monstera. I followed your steps to proprogating and I have 6 thriving plants from one plant I purchased 2 years ago.

I’m planning to repot a monstera into a much larger pot, one that I plan for it to stay in as it matures. Because it’s much larger, I’m planning to fill about 1/3 of the pot with leca balls at the bottom and the rest with well draining potting soil that’s a mix of peat moss, pearlite, compost, and a bit of fertilizer. Since it will be in such a large pot, I plan to water it more often than usual to try to avoid root rot, and since the drainage should be very good. Do you think that this is an okay idea, or am I basically dooming my monstera? It’s for my elderly grandparents, so they won’t be able to repot the plant which is why I’m making this decision.

How do we join ur discord?

My plants have never had the problems you do. Maybe it's my ten green thumbs, but you are wrong.

Good show! Happy I found your channel. Look forward to more content as well as your library of past videos.

Actually I'm getting lots of fast root growth out of small cracks in the leaves aswel as the fresh cut and petiole end. But they are in a grow cabinet in sphagnum. It's taken 2 weeks to get well rooted I'm just waiting for pups now. The ones I did in perlite prop box on my west face window and the pups are going crazy heaps of them. I use the leaves that are wonky or bit older and get excellent results anyway. I will say of all the peperomia I find the watermelon to be abit harder than the rest,I'd like to see a larger established established plant without any damaged or wonky leaves living indoors?

omg that cork bark/ driftwood idea is so nice!

Great information ❤

Can you talk about the flower and fruit????? I got a pretty big established plant and in its acclimating phase it didn't seem too happy (it shot out two leaves and the leaves were significantly smaller) and before I tossed it i noticed its sending two flowers but i just can't get enough good info on it and about it and i really would love if youre able to touch on the subject.

I just love you Lee. Thanks for everything.

I literally LOL when he said “placed it in the perfect place to DIE”

Why people use transparent pots? Roots does not like light

Thank you do much for all the useful information. I just repotted my Monstera after having it for 2 years, some of the leafs turned yellow. I realised it might be caused by the potting soil I used that does not provide good drainage. Do you think it is a good idea to change the soil considering the plant is so stressful already after the repotting?

I've been growing outdoors for over 40 years and just over a year indoor gardening since cannabis became legal in Minnesota. I start in solo cups (about 20oz) repot to 1/2 gallon when they get there second set of fan leaves. Then a bigger pot whenever watering every other day is not enough, 2.6 gallon to 7 gallon cloth pot and finally 15 gallon cloth pots. For the last repotting I recommend a small kiddy pool, on clearance soon wherever they are sold.

I’m wondering what I should do with a plant I have that is completely root bound. I have rescued it from my local home store. It was in bad shape. Now I know why. The leaves keep dying off. I want to size up the pot but somehow I just feel it’s not going to be good enough.. Can I remove half the root ball without killing the plant?

you are very funny, cool channel

I don’t know why your video showed up in my feed< but I’m very happy it did. My brother has been employed by the National Botanical Tropical Research Garden on Kauai, Hi for the majority of his life and has always been the horticultural expert in my family with my father being an agronomist son of a grain farmer. I did non of those things and went to a brand new Cal State University as an upper division top of my class art transfer where I was exploited by the program director who used my skills to remain relevant in a changing art world which was only possible from the lack of oversight and precedent in the first semesters of the newest state university to date. Sorry. Your video is great. Well done. Informative and edited very well.

so i wen't on facebook **under his breath* gross 😂😂😂 this killed me 😆

Interestingly, these plants also do not like humidity

Why does it hurt to ever put a plant into a bigger pot (once it’s used to the environment ) ?
