Combining Monstera Adansonii Cuttings with Mother Plant | Propagation Update

Hi guys! After rooting these for 2 months, I am finally combining all the Monstera Adansonii cuttings with the two mother plants to create a super full pot. I am so excited to watch it grow and cascade down my plant shelf. Enjoy!
Check out the propagation video: • Leggy and Bare Monster...

I just found this channel and I never leave comments but I wanted to tell you that I am happy I found you! Thanks for this video. I loved your description of the process and the way you explained it! I watched it all! I am surprise. I am excited to see a many other videos from you. New member in your community! :D

[@romanesque2954]

Wow! I loved seeing how effective the “reset” was. Thanks for the great tips on handling a monstera adansonii, found this very helpful.

[@SuchPlants]

Thank you! ☺️

I just went on a 3 week vacation and my husband watered all my plants but I think he forgot my little Swiss and now it has no leaves at all but the stems look good so I went on a search and and found your videos so I’m going to chop it down and hope for it to push out new growth. Thank you for the ideas!

[@SuchPlants]

Oh no! Put your husband on time out! 😂 These stems can last a really long time before they die so I’m sure you will have success in saving some of the nodes. 👍🏼

Great videos, helped a lot - thank you! Got yourself another subscriber.

Great roots ,both plants looking Soo good now!! 💚🪴🌵🌱

[@HitsFromThePast]

IM going to do the same with my bold adansonii to create that full and lush look. Thank you this video is very helpful.

[@SuchPlants]

Good luck to your adansonii! 🪄

[@brendaboles3875]

You give me the courage to give it a try!!

Beautiful!!

Thank you 🙏 for sharing your reppoting vedio of your Adansonii now there beautiful and lush good job stay safe and greetings from California ❤️

[@tanyabooysen3958]

So amazed to see how your cuttings thrived,how did the bare stem cuttings do?

[@SuchPlants]

Only a few managed to survive at first, grew about 5 leaves and then got attacked by spider mites 🥲 so I lost them. But the mother plant is getting bushy! ☺️

Ngl this channel is underrated

Sharing my videos always helps to spread the joy! Don’t wanna be underrated; don’t wanna be overrated… maybe just, rated! 😆

Hi, what happened to the stem cuttings without leaves? 😊

[@kayyjayy3454]

That's amazing, the growth that's taken place!! I always correlate the fear of chopping up my plants to making changes in my own life. We can know the process works but still be so nervous to make the cuts. Anyways back to plants 😅 .. it's November in Ohio and I'm not sure what I did to my monstera adansonii (could've been several things) but it lost ALL it's leaves about a month ago. Now I have 2 very long vines, one with 2 leaves and one with 3. Should I wait til spring to chop her up? I have grow lights but I feel like she knows it's November in Ohio and might not be ok with that.

[@SuchPlants]

You’re so right about how chopping up plants relate to our own life struggles! 😆 Personally, I would experiment with chopping up your adansonii now. If she is still dropping leaves, she would benefit from a reset as soon as possible. The key thing is to try to emulate thriving conditions over the winter (lots of light/warmth/humidity) and she will give you continuous growth. I would chop up the nodes and put in a propagation box and give warmth and light. Good luck!

[@geoph2000]

I’m in almost the exact same situation as you. My adansonii was thriving until about a month ago when all the leaves started yellowing and dropping uncontrollably. After repotting and making sure it wasn’t root rot, I am now left with a really long leafless vine with fully developed root systems and I’m not sure whether to leave it and wait for it to sprout again or chop it at the base and propagate the rest of the vine as node cuttings. I have had success with bare node propagations in spagnum moss before but it takes a really long time :(

[@kriskuboart9635]

I also have a random question. I'm still pretty new to the plant world lol but would you recommend trying to find "cuttings" or better off trying to get it already established in a pot? Cuttings cheaper xD but also I have no idea what I'm doing

[@SuchPlants]

Great question! Cuttings always come with the risk of not taking root, which ends in a little bit of disappointment 🥺 but if you’re up for the challenge, it is SUPER rewarding in the end. Just try to find a cutting that is already rooted. I think if an established plant starts to die, it is an even bigger disappointment, since bigger plants usually take longer to acclimate to a new environment. With a cutting, you can also control the environment easier by putting in a prop box, putting in water, etc. With all that being said, I recommend rooted cuttings if you can find them. It’s so fun watching them grow! ☺️ Once you are comfortable with cuttings, then you can graduate to established plants! Hope this helps!

[@NanaColorsToo]

What is the liquid plant food that you put in your water props? Thanks for your great videos!

[@SuchPlants]

I use Dr. Q’s Plant Tonic, but it’s similar to Superthrive. It provides micronutrients, which is great for water props and transplanting into soil. 😊

[@maatirah6530]

What happened with the stems/nodes only? Were you successful with any of them? Curious since I have a leggy adesonii

[@SuchPlants]

I lost almost all of them since I didn’t have the most ideal conditions. In my recent houseplant tour, however, I show the final node surviving with 2 tiny leaves. 😆 Now it’s in my greenhouse cabinet pushing out a new leaf ☺️

[@maatirah6530]

@@SuchPlants I just shed a tiny 🌱 tear 😢. But smiles for the little one that made it 🎊💕

[@angielanphier]

If I cute my mother plant at the top will my leaves become small again?

[@SuchPlants]

Yes, usually the leaves on the mother plant will grow maybe one or two smaller leaves, but after that, the leaves should be normal or even bigger. The top cutting is similar, but I find it is just slower because it has to grow many roots before it can support bigger leaves. ☺️

[@anthonylawson518]

Great video! Maybe you can help me with my question. I have a Monstera adansonii. Multiple plants in the pot. When I repot, should I place all the ariel roots towards the center to help them climb? If that even makes sense...lol or does it matter? Thank you! 💚🤗💚🌵🪴🌿

[@SuchPlants]

Hey Anthony! Hopefully I understand your question correctly lol. It seems like you have some aerial roots that have reached the soil and turned into soil roots? If that's the case, I believe it really doesn't matter. The aerial roots are happy to be anywhere in the soil and they will stabilize over time ☺️ It just comes down to personal preference. If your goal is for it to climb a vertical surface like a moss pole, then I would center the pole and place the plants all around the pole so it looks like a Christmas tree. I hope that makes sense haha... hope this helps!

[@princetriton1308]

Did the first one grow larger because it had less root systems to fight for space or it just did it because It felt like it?

[@SuchPlants]

We’ll never really know, but that is a good observation! 🤔

[@Enigmajestic1]

@@SuchPlants thanks for replying, I've just done mine, wish me luck

[@twrax8346]

I have a swiss plant as well. I tried my best to save it, but the new leaves even when about to.curl up they seemed to have black marks on it. I tried even fertilizing it. But nothing is working.Can you please suggest what is wrong in it😢

[@SuchPlants]

Perhaps it is a humidity issue? Tropical plants like to be consistently humid at around 40-70% humidity. Do you have an AC vent nearby that might be causing humidity to drop?

[@twrax8346]

I have placed it near south facing window and currently there is no ac in my home. I open windows when it is hot.

[@SuchPlants]

If you have a humidity sensor you can monitor the levels throughout the day. Typical household humidity without a humidifier is around 40% (minimum for plants in my opinion). Opening windows can let out most of that humidity.

[@melissawilson3729]

Lmao!! When you realized, you said "up and close"....at the same time i thought "up and close?....umm thats not right lol". Then the camera zoomed in lol. Anyways i just thought it was funny. I never knew you could chop an Andsonii right down, and it would push out more leves and start all over again. It kinda hurt to watch you chop it in the first video. But it looks really good now. My mine is still a baby, I only have 7 leafs on. When can you start propagating from a Monstera Andsonii? I hard its not good to cut a young one, it will make it go into shock.

[@SuchPlants]

You are right, there is a sweet spot in regards to when you can successfully take a cutting. In my experience, the bigger the root system, the better off you’ll be. Try to examine the roots “up and close”. 😅

[@melissawilson3729]

@SuchPlants ohh ok. Thank you so much for the reply. I've asked other ppl on KZbin, but no one has really given me an answer, lol. So I really appreciate that. Thanks 😊

[@audreymiller509]

My monstera desperately needs this but i'll so scared to cut it and nothing grow back. I've had this plant for years and if it died I'd be devastated

[@SuchPlants]

🥺 I know how it feels to be so attached to a plant you’ve had for a long time. Think of it as extra TLC; you’re just giving it a nice reset. If you believe it has a healthy root system, chances are it will work hard to give you some lush, new growth! But also, you can propagate many individual nodes, so if anything goes wrong you can still have new plants. Let me know if you ever decide to do it! 😊
