How to grow a better looking Monstera

[@Phebestreet]

That ending. 😂😂😂😂

[@jodyfarias3284]

The ending is sooooo funny! LOL!!!

[@StaceyWilder-m8v]

I literally LOLd at the end!! Priceless!! 😂

[@Just_Someone_Hello]

Me too! "Noooooo." That was the best and only response!

[@patriciaromero5347]

My brother has a very big monstera, he has it facing the window, but when he has guests he turns it around so the leaves are visible.😂

[@-inefable]

Same here HAHAHAH

[@311Rosita]

Same here!😅 Since I got advised bij Lee on Discord, I do this as well. Or I turn it in the evening, when it's dark outside. My Monstera was stressed out and now it's getting so beautiful again.😍 Thanks Lee! I still only need to rearrange the plant and the pole in the pot. But it's too cold now outside.

Bro shilling soltech too hard

[@KlingonPrincess]

My SIL gave me a potted monstera cutting with three leaves a few months ago. I repotted following your instructions right away. I just got my fifth leaf yesterday and it has two fenestrations!!! I can't wait for the next leaf! 🌻🍄

[@KillThisPlant]

awesome!

[@ShayyButter]

wow the visual analogy presentation was so helpful! youre a natural at this!

[@DrinknStitch]

I was dropping in here to say the same. Once you can SEE that, it becomes a lot easier in positioning plants.

[@wonder_keeper]

The right amount of light is one of the best things for Monstera to be happy. Wonderful examples.

[@krlgssll]

Always great tips! With a scientific approach to explain nature ❤

[@SH-mn1rq]

I love how y’all promote each other !!!!

[@bostonsandatot4948]

Thank you for the burlap option. I want to use moss poles on my Monstera and philos yet im so crammed for space while overwintering 100 plants in my small apt. Burlap over their bamboo poles should get us through.

[@drizzlesomegreen]

My favorite monstera page!!

[@aloseman]

Got the notification from your discord. That was a good visual example of how it grows. And fun end. Thank you for making it.

[@KillThisPlant]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@gingercaudill7219]

I really am engulfed and always stay engaged with all your content! Look forward to seeing more content, Lots of love ❤️ Ginger

[@HR-re6mr]

I absolutely love this because I thought I should switch positions so all the plant can get some sunlight. It feels loopsided with all the leaves on one side. I guess that's how it is supposed to be now.. thanks for the tips.

[@DrinknStitch]

Thanks for a great video. Doing that in 3-d is the best way ever. I have a 6 year old golden pothos that shows exactly what NOT to do with plants that grow like that, front/back. The plant has been moved several times, with no regard to where it faced. It now has 12 feet of twisty, curvy, leaf-less stem that has aerial roots poking out in all directions. I didn't know about front/back facing, but I have since learned, (probably from KTP). Why don't I cut/prop it? The end of that sad stem has grown a Wreath. I have the f/b aligned & I keep wrapping it upon itself. Tis cradled in a web of cotton crochet. The stem has gotten as big as my fingers & the leaves are now as big as my hands ... in 6 months. It's like it's putting out a leaf a week!

[@karmas8864]

Mine are feral. The aerial roots wander into other pots. As long as they don't wander off (or tip over), they can do what they want.

[@nancyadventure]

Thanks!

[@KillThisPlant]

Thank you so much!

[@moorflower4118]

A very good video with great info! Thanks!

[@wills681]

Nice one. My compromise is similar to others mentioned in the comments. My monsteras live in the most optimum position for daylight (supported by grow lights in grey UK winters) I can provide where they appear to thrive but I do move them about in my home temporarily (a day perhaps) for aesthetic purposes. This works well for me because I manage their height; I really don't want eight-foot-tall monsteras which are a nightmare to move. My monsteras (one per pot) are mounted on stands of varying heights so that I can achieve a pleasing grouping.

[@annissa485]

The ending❤❤❤❤

[@grat2010]

Is there a video of how you made the burlap pole? What did you use to attach the burlap to the pole?

[@KillThisPlant]

uh, maybe a long time ago in one of my Q+A videos. I just tied it up with string.

[@RS-bn7yq]

I have a huge crush on you 😻 thanks for the planty content

[@just_some_donkus]

It took me a bunch of mess ups before I got my monstera growing well. Now I have a lot of cuttings from separating the mess it was. I WISH someone would take some cuttings from me LOL

[@smajliiicka]

Ordinary monstera (for me) grows like a champ, anything variegated? Freaking thing is just doing whatever the heck it wants. I've given it a last time to shine and threatened with chopping, let's see how it goes 😅❤

[@TheExcellentTurner]

I have a bunch that I propagated and are all in separate pots, and the mother was repotted in September. Is it appropriate or safe for me to repot and combine plants to achieve the correct positioning?

[@idlando]

Monsteras don't really need a pole with growing medium, as the leaves will mature regardless. A wooden stick is more than sufficient. Give some space for aerial roots to drop into the soil, and they will eventually add support for the plant + develop more roots in the soil.

[@wafflenerfy]

The end🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@sarahiesqueda141]

Can I cut the edges on my monstera leaf? Its brown looks burn?

[@monicavaldez2369]

Hahahahaha thats me at the end😂

[@taylorhillard4868]

This is why I like Philodendron verrucosum and Philodendron micans (my pfp) because they can face the window all they want, I like the backside of the leaf way better, lol.

[@KillThisPlant]

@@taylorhillard4868 big brain move 🤓

[@ROCSOLID-z9d]

Thanks brother, question ,I've seen some plant light bulbs at Menards, are those good to use ?

[@KillThisPlant]

@@ROCSOLID-z9d I don't know. Any bulb will help, but I don't know that store or what brand it is

[@ROCSOLID-z9d]

@KillThisPlant oh ok, yeah Menards is like a home Depot or Lowe's, but they also sell groceries, thank you so much.

[@bostonsandatot4948]

Nothing wrong with staring at a healthy backside.

[@DonnaSmith-pq5tv]

I have finally accepted that I will be looking at the back of my Monstera…it’s inevitable.

[@doublemdespo2785]

Sweeeeeet ✊🏾😎🌳🌳🌳🌳

[@pallasydoor7116]

I can’t really afford certain things and have to use a glow light for my monstera. So idk how much more I need

[@cherylboyd5548]

I'm really confused 😕

[@KailuaChick]

lol the end. No cuttings!! Leave my plants alone!

[@KillThisPlant]

they can go to the store

[@thebookofsand]

i always have a few cuttings in water, if someone wants something. worst case scenario i have to grab a weird monstera or pothos from my goldfish tank and they can try and figure that one out.

[@cherylboyd5548]

So I have to turn all my plants 🪴 towards the window thanks.🤦🏽‍♀️

[@KillThisPlant]

@@cherylboyd5548 only if all your plants are Monstera.

[@adrichapoy6525]

My Monstera always shows me the backside. 😢

[@KillThisPlant]

as it should be 😌

[@Anil18834]

Right. If it's against the window, it should be 'mooning you'😅 If you want it to face you, you need grow lights. There are some great videos here about that.❤

[@ericamagana9156]

Ouch, I just repotted mine and changed the direction of where it was growing. Should I fix that asap? 🥲 or just let it be now? I didn’t know they were suppose to grow all in one direction… I thought all different 💀/:

[@LillyLotusMonstera]

Oh wow burlap?? Okay it’s on!! 😂I love saving money!🪴
