Glad to finally see someone talking about the proper way to face the monstera when staking it. I rarely see anyone talk about this. Which is the reason my first monstera wasn't staked properly..and once those aerial roots, and roots in general really lock themselves in place...it's quite difficult to fix it.

[@EverythingPlants]

Pothos stems have incredibly interesting roots when grown up a support stake. Just like the Monstera shown, they have the thick aerial roots and the smaller (I call them caterpillar feet) roots which latch on tight. Great video!

[@TechplantChannel]

Yeap they do the same thing! I noticed my giant pothos exploded in size when it started shooting out those roots

[@daisywrabbit]

I have even seen some KZbinrs perpetuate the myth that you can grow a plant from just a leaf. you can root a leaf, but it will never grow into a plant, unless there is a node.

[@TechplantChannel]

Yeap! It works with some begonia and other plants but not monstera,Philo, or anthuriums

[@doom85249]

I have several monsteras, bigboy green one, albo, thai constellation and i'm happy you put the right information out there to care of those beautiful plants. 💚

[@TechplantChannel]

Thanks! Yeah i hope it can help a lot of people!

[@theproppist]

It's pretty funny how often I see videos (and even popular KZbinr explainer-style videos) where people are attaching Monstera petioles (leaf stalks) to poles or whatnot and ignoring the main stem. Great video - hopefully it helps folks who are currently "miseducated" to understand what they should be doing to get their Monsteras growing the "right way."

[@TechplantChannel]

Yeah I mean you can tie up your plant however you want but if the goal is big leaves then getting it climbing the right way is key

[@meinardv3412]

Funny, I saw that video about chopping leaves earlier. Thank you for the right guide for monstera support.

[@TechplantChannel]

Yup yup! Thanks for watching

[@izabelarivera5211]

I'm really digging the stash!

[@TechplantChannel]

Thanks! I've never grown one before so it's been interesting

[@aplantprocess]

Great video. Simple message. Love it. I feel like those starting out in this hobby are super drawn to this plant and they’re not positioned well for success partially because they’re often half hazardously arranged by the growers. Once it became obvious to me there was a back, they made so much more sense. Light, nutrients, and plenty of breathing room for the roots made a difference too. Support is huge too. Good stuff. I’ll definitely share with people trying to master these.

[@TechplantChannel]

Yup and once you orientate properly they end up less unrulely in the end and more organized

root thing - that was informative! awesome

[@TechplantChannel]

If you are talking about the two roots yeah I was really excited when I noticed it. Every node produces one of the really long thick roots and then the internodal area can put out the smaller numerous grippers

[@maxleong91]

4:49 thank you so much for this! i was looking high and low for a PROPER one and most of them just shows tying the leaves and i wonder why mine doesn't look good. after watching yours i took the opportunity to repot mine and adjust the pole accordingly. now lets hope for the best 🙂

[@TechplantChannel]

It makes a huge difference. I will do an update soon. I have 7 monstera and half are staked and half are not so I will show what a diff it makes

Showing off that leaf you plant fingerer. Thank you for the info though, I hope I can make my monsteras thrive

[@TechplantChannel]

Thanks for watching! I'm sure it will thrive!

[@nilslusch6625]

Can Monsteras change their back over time? That is the case with my current monstera. I have a rather large one where the internodal space has grown relatively large as well probably because of the lack of light and it seems at least to me to sort of switch directions. I love your videos, especially this one. There are so many myths spread about houseplants and you clearing some of them up is really helpful

[@TechplantChannel]

yeah they can twist to face the light so its possible!

[@fbdasjkwlsdgbhngvbhnvsjlk]

Can't wait to try this when i'm repotting my monstera. Do you treat the support plank in some way before putting it in the soil to prevent rot?

[@TechplantChannel]

You could paint it or wrap it in strange wrap. Kinda up to you. If it's too thin it will rot fast. You could always use a thick plastic pole in thr soil and attach thr wood to the plastic

[@fbdasjkwlsdgbhngvbhnvsjlk]

@@TechplantChannel Thanks mate! I'll wrap it in plastic wrap or in a plastic bagged with a rubber band. Love all your videos!🙏🪴

[@guardianofthesacredflame1649]

I am soooo loving this clip. So much bad info on the internet.

[@aspirativemusicproduction2135]

I cut my lower leafs multiple times and the plant doesn't even slow down. But I keep all the roots. I just stick them into the pot. I want my Monstera to grow tall like a tree rather than sideways besides the taller it gets the more holes and fenestrations I gets. Once it reach some hight I will air layer it and start a new plant and maybe shorten the old plant a litle so it has room to grow again. And that's my story. I am pretty sure wherever I cut it a new growth poit would appear somewhere. I've done this before.

[@MichelleMonstera]

Me: "ahahaha people don't know the front from the back of their monstera?!" Also me: *pauses to take notes on how to differentiate the front from the back and stares at this for 5 minutes*

[@TechplantChannel]

lmao, there is nothing wrong with not knowing something, its a whole other issue to make a video about how to orientate a monstera and do it wrong lol. There is a few big youtubers that just pump out content but its showing the wrong stuff

[@PlantyMessyHypsie]

Uh oh. Thanks for the info. I suppose there are more than one way to grow a plant.

[@TechplantChannel]

You bet

[@TuckFwitter]

[@MyLocksMyPlants]

thank you ! 😂 I have definitely heard to chop the tiny leaves smh !

[@TechplantChannel]

Yeah lol I don't get it they are not 'stealing energy' like some claim

[@plantsinjars]

I too have been radicalized by watching plant youtube

[@TechplantChannel]

Lmao it's getting wild!

[@sushiegirl]

Oh wow I did everything wrong from the suckers to the poles 😱 I have 4 monsteras in one pot, do I need 4 poles? Thank you for this great video 🥰🙏

[@TechplantChannel]

It depends on what you want, if you like the bush it's fine as it is. If you want to get larger and larger leaves then I would attach a pole to them. The other thing you can do(im not sure how big they are) is let them get a bit bigger and practice propagating the growth tips and once those root put them in their own pots on a pole and leave your big bushy one be(it re grows after you cut it)

[@sushiegirl]

@@TechplantChannel thanks for your reply, what do you mean by propagating growth tip? Do you mean like the newest leaves?

[@TechplantChannel]

​@@sushiegirl​@sushiegirl yes I have a much older video where I show how to take decent sized cuttings and the propagation process a few diff ways! The key to success is good light

[@sushiegirl]

@@TechplantChannel ok thank you, I’ll check it out 🥰

[@sushiegirl]

I have another question for you if I may. My monstera gave me 2 new leaves last month but they’re both misshaped, like half leaves, should I cut them and what causes that? Thank you again 🙏 I just watched your other videos on monstera, very good info 🥰

[@trblessed1020]

I hope this isn't a stupid question because I have my first monstera deliciosa where do you get your planks And is it just like a wooden plank or is it something special? Or do you have to get Moss poles I am a little intimidated by the planking situation

[@christypan2556]

In my experience, moss poles are not necessary for monstera deliciosas. Just get a wood plank (preferably cedar or something rot resistant), strap your plant to it, and you should be good :)

[@TechplantChannel]

I just bought pine from thr local hardware store. I forget what the boards were called but they were very thin and about 8ft long so I cut them to the lengths I wanted. Cedar will last longer before it rots innthr pot but more expensive. The most important thing you need to get is UNTREATED. there are chemically treated boards that are sorta green that have chemicals to prevent growth of living stuff I don't know how much it would affect roots attaching but I wouldn't attempt it plus they are again more expensive

[@deborahmartin843]

I just went out in my woods and cut a small cedar tree that was growing where I didn't want it to. Cut it close to the ground and brush off the loose bark and your set.

[@Epiphalactic]

i avtually put my monstera deliciosa on a pole the wrong way, just stupid mistake i d8snt notice because I did so many. by time i noticed it had rooted in so well the wrong way and into the ground. the plant is twisting to right itself, but its wonky fir a bit hahaha. leaces kinda sticking out weird. the top of the plant is physically turning. there are 2 types of roots on most aroids.

[@TechplantChannel]

Yeah it's cool!

[@geriannroth449]

Do they eventually strangle the host tree they're growing up?

[@TechplantChannel]

I don't think so, at least I've never heard that happening

[@shellym79]

Was it your intention to look like Pizza John? Happy pizzamas everyone ❤

[@TechplantChannel]

I gotta look him up lol

[@shellym79]

@@TechplantChannel I think googling pizzamas will give you the best results for what I mean.

[@Cindery936]

My monstera is ornery, so I have a tie around a petiole where a new leaf is coming out bc that leaf made it fall off the support. ;( However, she does have lots of fenestrations on her so like I can't be mad yk?

[@TechplantChannel]

Lmao, I'm glad it's doing good even with the attitude!

[@mgisenman3383]

How can you tell if one has a Monstera Delisioca?

[@diannahenning2722]

I have a huge plant growing up on a tree tree in my backyard with lots of legs/vines hanging down can I cut those and regrow them and how do I do that?

[@TechplantChannel]

the brown arial roots or like monstera vine off shoots?

[@aspirativemusicproduction2135]

I tie monstera with velcro by the stem. I just buy velcro from the store. I don't care it's black. It holds well and it doesn't cut into the stem.

[@MrEiht]

I don`t want to discriminate but nothing delicious about this plant, right? Maybe more for a slug or snail?

[@TechplantChannel]

When they flower they actually produce a pleasantly sweet fruit! So that's why it has the name. I tried eating adasonii fruit but not good

[@MrEiht]

@@TechplantChannel ok, sorry then. It should produce more flowers and fruits - helps the promotion. And it is sad when a cousin species does not taste as good as the other family members. Maybe it had vitamins though :)
