How To Propagate Monstera Adansonii | Swiss Cheese Vine

How To Propagate Monstera Adansonii | Swiss Cheese Vine from a cutting, then placed in water. I run through the process of how to propagate a monstera adansonii from start to finish. Please leaving any comments or questions below and check back for more videos!

So I thought I'd report back a month after I tried this... Without using the growth hormone I cut off some shoots and stuck them in water - within 2 weeks the aerial roots grew pretty long and strong - and after 3 weeks I potted them. They are all healthy and growing new leaves, so it was a success 🙌. Thanks again for the brilliant instructions!

[@EverythingPlants]

That is so great. I'm always so happy to hear my videos have helped. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@frumpyhairdontcare5253]

Thank you. I placed some cuttings 5 days ago and was worried it's a failure. I will wait more.

[@robertpataki4844]

frumpyhair dontcare you're not far off, it took mines 2 weeks to start showing growth 🌿

Good luck Vicki!

[@Paulistaninha]

Excellent. About a year ago, i saw this plant for the first time and fell in love, I enjoy how each leave looks different. Anyways, I was searching for ways to treat my plant better, it is having lots of yellow brownish stop and run into your video. I will try to propagate it as well. Should anybody know the ideal treatment to get them healthy, please let me know.Thanks

[@EverythingPlants]

Hello. Good luck with your propagation of this plant. With yellow/brown tips....could be under watering. If you have them in a bright spot and the soil is dry....you might be under watering.

Ah this explains things! The first video I watched was just for generic monstera… mine have been going for 6 weeks now and roots have BARELY started showing, just from the nodes. Thought I was doing something wrong 🙄

Thanks Sam for watching this now OLD video....take care!

[@fav4bright]

I wanted to ask when you prune the plant, what happens to the mother plant? I have a variegated one and im so afriad of pruning it in case the mother plant doesnt grow leaves anymore

[@EverythingPlants]

It will definitely grow new leaves from the closest node to where you made the cut. Sometimes it'll branch out in multiple areas. Pruning is good for your plants. And don't be afraid.... You will not kill it

[@Michellescentedcandles]

I cut mine but it went straight back to dirt and I’ve had nothing but success ❤

[@LezBob]

I'm just wondering if the rooting hormone helps speed up the prcocess or does it just prevent rot?

[@tspooner01]

Both

[@KIKI4444]

Can you propagate by planting directly into soil?

[@ronchun4484]

thanks for the nice video. Does it matter what time of year when i propagate? (dormacy?)

[@EverythingPlants]

I try and take my cuttings when the plant is actively growing. The pruned section will grow roots at any time of year, but the mother plant may not recover and grow as fast.

[@pantherinna6997]

"A very very decorative glass container" yes sir 😇

[@debbieholmes5911]

Hi, this sounds great, just wondering what happens to the pice left in the pot? Does it grow or just stay cut?

[@EverythingPlants]

It will start a new stem at the leaf node closest to the cut. Good luck!

[@moosocks3831]

Great video! Just wish mine would start to vine so I can propagate and make it look full! I got mine in June last year as a baby with about 3 leaves and only one having any fenestration now it's grown so much but not trailing at all. Do you have any advice to get them or will it just take time as it's maturing?

[@willloftin5908]

Ask it nicely

[@MarcoTúlio-b5s]

Does the cut needs to have a leaf?

[@TheIluvharrypotter]

Thank you!! Are you Canadian or Midwest American by chance? You have a subtle accent but I feel like it’s there lol

[@EverythingPlants]

Canadian! I am from Saskatchewan. This is a pretty old video....I hope you stick around for more houseplant videos! Thanks Blanche!

[@tinapippen-blackford114]

Is it required to use the rooting hormone? Because I just placed my cuttings straight into water.

[@EverythingPlants]

No, it is not required. I is supposed to promote quicker and healthier roots. I should do a comparison video to see which one grows faster and has larger roots.

[@robertbatiz3095]

Not required for water or soil but definitely suggested if planting directly in soil it helps to prevent disease bacteria and rot when you place it in water you should be changing or water every one to two days more if needed dipping in a rooting hormone when water propagating in my opinion is wasteful. And depending on the ingredients of your rooting hormone it can cause problems where you would have to change the water more often because it's now dirty with the rooting hormone and can cause bacterial growth.

[@evitetriyani6005]

Me too

[@andrewvangils3112]

What if the aerial roots are grown(like 2-3 in)?

[@darkm3m0ry]

Where does the plant grow from after it's cutting(mother plant)?

[@EverythingPlants]

@@darkm3m0ry wow....this is an old video now. I didn't think people were still watching it LOL. A new growth point will come from the node where the leaf is attached to

[@Woollum90]

All of my cuttings that I put in fresh clean water and dip in rooting hormone start turning black. What do I do?

[@EverythingPlants]

Is it just the ends turning black or the whole cutting?

[@ThisMomentInMind]

Hi, I have tried repotting my monstera adanosii cuttings on 2 occasions now but the roots always die off once it is on the soil. What am I doing wrong? 😕

[@EverythingPlants]

Assuming you are propagating in water then into soil....are you keeping the soil well watered so the roots don't dry out? I always keep the soil well watered for about the first two weeks then slowly cut back on watering to a regular watering schedule so those water roots don't dry out and transition to soil.

[@almirairnanda]

how to make your plant green and glossy? thank youu🙏🏼. Because mine look less greeny and not that glossy

[@EverythingPlants]

Honestly I don't do much of anything to it to make the leaves glossy.

[@TheKristenGibson]

My boyfriend taught me about rubbing milk on the leaves, and it really works! Just pour some milk on a paper towel, and rub down the leaves.

[@almirairnanda]

@@TheKristenGibson ahh thank youu😉

[@mindilinispinster4309]

You can dilute lemon juice with water and wipe the leaves with a microfiber cloth. I've tried milk on mine and the leaves still had that cloudy look..

[@christmassnow3465]

I had propagated the related Pothos by cutting the vine into segments with one node having one leaf and some root. I cut above and below but close to the node. All cuttings rooted and sent new shoots from the node. Does it work equally for this Monstera?

[@EverythingPlants]

I have only done the stem cuttings, but I would say yes....this would work with single leaf cuttings as long as there are aerial roots. I might have to experiment with this method for a future video. I recently made stem and single leaf cuttings on a cebu blue pothos and all rooted nicely.

[@gwensmith6]

@@EverythingPlants Pothos are the hardest plant for me to grow. They just turn yellow and die.

[@EverythingPlants]

@@gwensmith6 there are a few reasons they turn yellow....under watering, over watering or the soil is retaining moisture for too long, being extremely root bound and pests.

[@gwensmith6]

you can buy the whole dam plant on ebay. now if you excuse me i'm debating whether i should uproot the neighbours medium size japanese maple to grow in my house. obviously it's not the direct neighbour it'll be pretty obvious his tree gets stolen and it's in my house. i don't know i just want something a bit more bushy, japanese maple is more upright and then it spreads out. I did see a nice nandina domestica in the park so it's easy to steal, i can steal that during the day. I love stealing plants!

I work at Starbucks years ago and a older customer asked me for "just a regular drink" I had such a hard time trying to figure out what this old man wanted because he just wanted the regular and we don't have anything on the menu called the regular drink drives me crazy tell people what you're talking about regular to you is not regular to someone else
