Grow Monstera From Seed ( 0 - 8 Months )

How to grow monstera from seed! In this video I show you how to start monstera seeds and grow them into small plants! Growing Monstera deliciosa from seed is actually pretty easy and I show two different ways to plant them. Both sphagnum moss and aroid mix work well for growing monstera seeds!

“I don’t remember why I did x” “but I didn’t do this because I was in the middle of some chaos” boy howdy that is a MOOD. I do enjoy how casual this channel is at times. The constantly pro ones make some of this feel like plants are more difficult than they are

yeah for sure! There are some species out there that need some real technical knowledge to grow but i tend to prefer ones that arent a full time job just to keep alive lol Thanks for the kind words!

i love experimenting so much, it's such a great opportunity to learn something new about a plant, not just from a book or any other source of text information, but observe it with your own eyes, learn with the plant, understand it much better on an intuitional levels. the opportunity of experimenting and learning got me into plants, specifically orchids, herbs, some simple aroids and begonias, it's so fascinating!

if you layered the substrate, spagnum on top and then the soil and perlite and orchid mix underneath, I wonder if that would work even better. Then the seeds are in the sphagnum Moss until their Roots get long enough and start going into the mix where there's more nutrients.

Hi! thanks a lot for this video it was SUPER useful. I'm planning soon to grow my own Monstera Deliciosa from seeds and I had a question related to the process: In the first 2 months did you add any soil as a base for the substrate?

[@YukiTheOkami]

Its a pot with drainage holes And some tea filter then some tropical seramis granit stuff than just regular good plant erth and on top another layer off the tropical substrad the down layer is for better drainage and the one on top against drying out and against mold (hat problems with mold on two plants they are in a less moist room now) And as i said the monstera demiciosa is doing verry well i hot it with 5 leaves from an aldi And now it has 11 from wich 4 belong to an offshoot that had just one leave (seams like its 3 indivitual plants but they where inseperable)
