How to Grow a MONSTEROUSLY Huge Monstera Deliciosa!

In this video, I describe how to grow enormously huge Monstera deliciosa. I cover light, watering, potting mix, fertilizing, a support post that I came up with that I believe is better than a moss post, and other tips for growth.

Hey Andrea! How's your monstera doing now? What did you do wrong last year?

[@colleenmcbride3656]

I just purchased a baby Monstera on Etsy that had 2 leaves. I put it in some potting mix with coconut coir. In the month I've had it, it has unfurled one new leaf that is as big as the first two leaves combined! It was so exciting to watch! I don't have good natural light at my apartment, but I have it under a couple of aerogarden lights. The new leaf is already pregnant with another leaf, which is so exciting! I'm moving soon, and part of my home search priorities is a large window for an eventual large Monstera plant. 😂

[@OhioTropics]

Light is the top priority for sure! I hope you find a home with tons of great windows :-)

When repotting can i trim the root ball. Can i cut several leaves from the same stalk as long as it has a root nub and propogate. So i hadv1 stem with 3 leaves. I cut each one with a node and ended up with 3 pieces.

[@OhioTropics]

Yes you can can lightly trim the root ball. Was your goal to keep it in the same size pot? As far as propagating, all you need is one node like you described. You can also propagate right on the plant by air layering. You can wrap moist sphagnum moss around the node (I'm sure roots are already visible there) and wrap it in clear plastic wrap and secure both ends. This way the roots will start to grow but it is still attached to the plant and lessen the stress. But if you made cuttings already, all you need is a node and you should be fine. You can place directly in soil or water propagate. Keep me posted with your progress!

[@shayturnbow4148]

I've had my Monsterra for at least a year or two now. It continues to have a lot of new growth but none of the leaves have got very big in size (even though the overall plant is large). Would pruning some of the new growth help the older leaves increase in size?

[@OhioTropics]

Hi Shay! The older leaves will not change in size. As the plant grows and gets older, the newer leaves will get progressively larger. Hope that makes sense. Just give it some time :-)

[@sonoranbudgets]

Hi there! New plant owner here, I live in sunny arizona but I only have southern facing windows. Do you think that will be enough sun or should I put them in a shady spot outdoors for an hour or so whenever possible?

[@OhioTropics]

That will be too much direct sun for your Monstera. You should move it back a few feet from the window in that case, or maybe use sheer curtains to diffuse the light. They definitely don't want to be sitting in sun all day!

[@keilapazmino253]

Hi Raphael, I got my monstera cut last year. Just one new leaf grew and now the two older leaves that came on the cut are yellowing. What do you suggest me?

[@OhioTropics]

Hi Keila! I'd recommend reading two blog posts that I wrote on Monstera deliciosa. See if anything resonates with you: www.ohiotropics.com/2020/02/28/monstera-problems-questions-answers/ www.ohiotropics.com/2019/01/19/monstera-deliciosa-care-and-repotting-monstera/

[@CurlyChemist]

How long after bringing the monstera home, would you repot? Also i have the plant sitting on a plant tray with rocks to catch water that comes through, which is supposed to help with humidity. I've had it for a week or so and it seems to be happy in the nursey pot.

[@OhioTropics]

It really depends. Your plant might be fine in the pot that it is growing in for a while. In other cases, you may need to repot sooner. Regardless, you should still wait a couple weeks for your plant to adjust to your home before doing anything. Unless your plant is very pot bound, I would leave it in the pot that it came in for now.

[@rish_e4665]

Thanks for sharing this video. How do you suggest that we water a plant when there is a lot of surrounding moisture in the air. I also use general potting mix mixed with smaller grade of perlite for my monstera. It takes sometimes around 48 hours to dry out. What do you suggest that i do in this case?

[@OhioTropics]

I just want to make sure I'm understanding you correctly. Are you saying that your soil dries out in 48 hours?

[@rish_e4665]

@@OhioTropics Yes, when it is rainy season, like it is now in southeast Asia. It takes around two days for the soil of the plant to completely dry out. So do you suggest that i change my potting mix to a more porous one? I normally use river sand and small amount of perlite to increase porosity in my potting mixture.

[@Olivievie]

I have a north facing window and my monsters sits right in front of it, but it’s growing really slow, is it not getting enough light?

[@OhioTropics]

Depending on the size of the window, it may need more light. If it's growing very slowly, like you mentioned, it probably needs a bit more light. If you have a location that will get a couple hours of direct sun or so (like an Eastern window) or even a Western window, this would be a wonderful location for your plant. Even if you have a super sunny window (I wouldn't advise keeping this plant in full sun), you can also set the plant a little further back from the window. Experiment with your growing location and see how your plant responds! Hope this helps :-)

I don't do a thing for my Monstera for humidity actually. It is very tolerant of average indoor conditions. Nor do I run a humidifier for it. Mine sits in our living room so I don't want to clutter it up with a humidifier. I do run a humidifier when we run our central heat though in our sunroom. But if you'd like to run a humidifier for your Monstera, that's fine! I don't mist because that does nothing for humidity, contrary to popular belief.

You should be ok, just be careful not to overdo it. Always measure the fertilizer and water very accurately, and to be safe, dilute it more than the label says. Less is more when it comes to fertilizer :-)

[@PULAG]

Wuats your thoughts on LED plant lights or Aquarium lights as far as providing enough light for this plant? How far away should the light be from it and how long should it endure per day?

[@OhioTropics]

Those should be just fine! It depends on how strong the individual light is as far as the distance from the plant goes, but I'd recommend about 12 hours a day. Using a timer works well.

Hi Rafael! Thank you for all the informative videos!! Quick question...You touched just a bit on the aerial roots but I was wondering how can I promote this in my Monstera? I've never been able to get aerial roots to grow on my Monstera nor Ficus plants but I want them badly b/c I think they're beautiful. Do you think it's humidity that promotes them to begin growing outside the pot like that? Or perhaps keeping the plants well watered? (I am a chronic UNDER-waterer🤦🏽‍♀️). Any advice on this would be much appreciated. Thank you! ~Len 💚🌿

[@OhioTropics]

Mine just came with time. I don't think anything special needs to be done. Consistent growing conditions though will help!

Got a 4 ft one from Costco and it lost almost half of the leaves before even a week of having it. Then after that, I got one from Walmart also about 4 ft.... I’ve had it for a few months now and it’s slowly getting brown on the leaves... most isbon the edge but some in the middle. No signs of more leaves will ever come.. I’ve watched many videos and so far nothing really helps...

Ohio Tropics I had three figs one which I bought in the nursery and two at cosco. Realize that the figs that cosco sales are no good. The leafs fall and turn brown. They overwater and they don’t treat it good. The price is cheap , but. Not worth it

[@Labyrinthine_Complexities]

Don't overwater. Let dry out before watering. You can score notches in between the leaves on the stems to encourage growth. Also, they like indirect light as well. I have mine in a NE facing window. I've hatched 5 leaves since I got it a couple months ago. Oh , I got mine at Walmart. It was in a 6" pot

[@Queen-of-Swords]

[@ishapishaaa]

hi, will a bigger pot also help in making them grow big faster? ❤️

It will help to increase the size of the plant if you give it a bigger pot. I wouldn't repot though until the plant is at least somewhat root bound.

Thank you for the informative video. There is so much contradictory information out there. One thing I keep coming across is people referring to Monstera and Philodendron Swiss Cheese plant as the same plant, and I don't believe they are. What are your thoughts on that?

[@OhioTropics]

You're very welcome! Common names are VERY misleading. Philodendron is a completely different genus of plants from Monstera. And Swiss Cheese plant is also confusing too because it is referring to Monstera. So combining Philodendron Swiss Cheese as a name makes absolutely no sense and just serves to confuse people. I would stick with the botanical names and then there should be no question which plant you are referring to! :-)

Hi! I bought a baby monstera yesterday but it was in a pot with no drainage hole, I was told it’s ok because the monstera likes to be wet, I fear the root would rot, should I repot to a better nursery pot ? Can I repot a baby plant since the hasn’t become rot bound ?

[@abbyschreier2020]

Adewole olumide I have found that my monstera deliciosa don’t like to be wet, mine like to be dry before I water them. I would highly suggest that you repot it into one with drainage holes and determine from there how much water your plant likes. I would not go up in size of the nursery pot as that could stunt their growth - they love to be root bound before repotting!

[@OhioTropics]

I would definitely repot it into a pot that has a drainage hole. A good rule of thumb is to water when the surface is dry to the touch. You can maybe let the top half inch or inch get dry, and then water thoroughly. But yes...you absolutely need to place it in a pot with a drainage hole!

Thank you for the great vid! I bought a Monstera Deliciosa a month ago from my local nursery. It is the very end of November - where I live, it's going to be real cold soon, and there is not much light during the day. I've read everywhere that I should not fertilize my plants during wintertime, but my Monstera is putting out new leaves constantly. Do you think it would be okay to fertilize it with maybe a half-strength liquid fertilizer once a month? Or should I leave the plant alone until Spring comes?

[@OhioTropics]

If the plant is still growing, it's fine to fertilize. But I would say maybe use 1/4 strength instead. Less is more :-)

[@AnnikaMystica]

@@OhioTropics Thank you! :)

I think there are quite a few plants that thrive set away from windows. Calathea and Alocasia are two that come to mind. Peperomia is another. I have a peperomia obtusifolia that's a good 15 ft away from my west facing window and it's just been exploding with growth since the start of spring. My pholodendron and Scindapsus also prefer medium light, as they scorch when put near the window. Totally agree with the monstera! Mine is right in front of the west facing window and thrives.

[@OhioTropics]

You're absolute right Kenny..I prefer to "teach" to always have plants in front of windows for beginners that are new to houseplant growing. After all, you have to know the rules before you can break them, right? Sounds like you have a good grasp on light, and that's a huge step! :-).

These plants don't like tons of direct sun outside. Shade or partial sun will be best outdoors for these plants. If you're moving a plant from indoors to outdoors, you will have to gradually acclimate it to sun otherwise it will burn. So go slow...and move it into full shade for a few days at first and gradually increase the amount of sun. Good luck!

[@VinylUnboxings]

I have this idea of having a huge, sprawling Monstera in the corner of my room, and I'm considering getting 3 of the Monsteras from the store, and then maybe using a 35 gallon hexagon aquarium with drainage holes drilled in the bottom and putting all three in there. I can't find videos of people consolidating Monsteras, but if the pot was big enough, is there any reason it's inherently inadvisable to put them all together? If it is possible, I'm also considering buying a cutting from a _giant_ Monstera online and maybe putting it in the middle, so once it finally grows it'll start shooting off some giant leaves as well, would this step _also_ be possible? I know this is a really specific, speculative question but you seem like about as much of an expert on Monsteras as there on here is so I figured I'd try to get your opinion if I could. Thank you so much!

[@OhioTropics]

Hi MC! You absolutely can do this! The only thing I would recommend, since you'd be using a 35 gallon container to plant them in...is to make sure that your potting mix is very chunky. Due to the big volume of the aquarium, you want to make sure that you have exceptional drainage and that your mix can dry out in a reasonable amount of time. I would recommend maybe equal parts of an all-purpose potting mix, orchid bark, and perlite. Also make sure that your drainage holes are big enough so that they won't get clogged. I would add more drainage holes than you'd initially think. Do you have good light in the corner that you want to put your aquarium in? If it's a darker corner, you may want to supplement with a grow light. I hope this helps and don't hesitate to ask anymore questions.

I respectfully disagree with your recommendation to not buy a moisture meter. They are great for beginners. It’s less about telling you if the soil is moist but more to prevent you for over watering and killing your plants with kindness. I tell new plant parents to get moisture meters. They are only $8.

Thanks for chiming in and being respectful with your comment. :-) I have seen some of them work properly, but I know many people personally who have used them, and their particular instruments were very faulty. This is why I don't personally recommend them. It can be a good tool in the beginning, but getting used to judging soil moisture by feel, touch, sight, etc., in my experience and opinion, will be more valuable in the long-run.
