I'm just learning about propegating plants. This is the first time I've watched you, and I think you share good information.

[@plantsbutbetter]

Glad I could help!

I just love sphagnum moss for so many things plant related.

[@plantsbutbetter]

Yup, it helps a lot!

Hii, I got my first albo monstera in february with literally 4 leaves and since then It has grown 6 more leaves with an incredible variegation and well stablished. I always wanted to have one of these but they are truly expensive. I found a website where they have them for 80€ so it was not as "expensive" as the other ones I saw for at least 300€ and some of them they were just cuttings. I'm so happy I bought it because she's quite a fast-growing plant

Fantastic clear concise videos thanks for this!!

[@plantsbutbetter]

Glad you enjoyed it! 😁

Nice video! I have my cutting in perlite (with loads of algae, as it stand in a clear container 😅). First time I ever tried it with a Monstera Albo. Thought it had one axillary bud, but there was a surprising one on the bottom as well. Both are shooting out new leaves at the moment. Did nothing fancy, they are just standing in a south facing window. So perlite is a recommendation as wel.

Thank you for sharing your experience 💚 this is another great way for propagating Monstera Albo

i haven't cut mine. I just put the aerial roots in a pot filled with spaghnum moss. Looking forward to healthy growth.

[@plantsbutbetter]

That's the safest way to go!

[@evelynnhuang24628]

Hi dear! I just cut mine (followed by your instructions!) just have a question! How long should I wait or when should I put them in the water or sphagnum after the cut😂

[@plantsbutbetter]

Sorry I just got to see your message. How are the cuttings? 💚

[@honeygolightly7889]

My mid cutting came with 4 or 5 very long aerial roots, and all but one rotted in water prop. I’ve removed them and have her in sphagnum moss now what can I use to help prevent the bacteria from spreading any further?

[@plantsbutbetter]

Sorry to hear that! I would try to spray with hydrogen peroxide and keep an eye on the healthy root. How is it now?

[@thecyclingphotographer441]

Do you have an update video?

[@luisdeleon9819]

Love the accent.

[@soxfan33]

How often do you have to water the moss?

[@plantsbutbetter]

Every time it dries out 🙌

Hello, my monstera has only one stem. if i cut one node from the top of the stem and leave the bottom. Will the bottom part still grow? And produce new leaves?

[@plantsbutbetter]

If the bottom part has a node, it will produce new growth eventually

[@SingingCrowie]

Why do you leave half of the stem in the water for the 1st cutting? Isn't it enough that the root is in water? Im asking because i bought a cutting, and that's what the seller recommended, only put the root in the water. My cutting has 3 aerial roots, and one of them is rather long, so it was possible to put in a vase this way, the stem is not submerged at all. Is it better or worse, does the stem need water?

[@plantsbutbetter]

It's recommended to keep only the roots in water since some cuttings are sensitive and could rot easily. I kept mine with half of the stem only because my plant was very healthy and acclimated to my conditions and I knew it has very little chance to rot, but if your cutting is fresh and has transit stress/damage, the seller's advice is good advice.

Hello Please add Turkish subtitles to your videos.💗💗

[@robertl6711]

personally I dont like the half moons am i alone?

[@blaniek]

Yes 😂

[@garlicbread5638]

I love them!

[@allisonfisher9304]

I don’t like the whole plant to be stark half moon leaves only, I love a mix of variegated and the occasional half moon popping out here and there. I have a White Wizard that has beautifully variegated leaves, and two of them are full half moons, and it’s just gorgeous🥰

[@themagicwalnutplants]

at 10 min - why not just pour out the water instead of suspending the plant?

[@plantsbutbetter]

It's totally optional, but I do this only to make sure the stem it's not in water so the cutting doesn't rot, and also to have enough water with enough oxygen in case I forget to change the water weekly 😁

[@themagicwalnutplants]

I understand. Thank you for the reply!@@plantsbutbetter

[@Yamileydd]

Buy a BOTTOM ROOTED PIECE IS A GOOD DEAL WITH 3 leaves? For $100?

[@plantsbutbetter]

It depends on the country/region you're in 😁

Etsy has some for 32 to 50
