How to Propagate Runners & Put Monstera Obliqua 'Peru' on a Moss Pole

[@daisywrabbit]

21:20 that high speed tapping is so satisfying 😊🥁

[@petevsplants7516]

haha I need to shut up more often so I can do timelapse shots like that

[@daisywrabbit]

@@petevsplants7516 yeah, Pete, put a sock in it (sans frog) jk lol

[@digitalwindowz]

I prop in water or perlite. The first time I tried propagating runners I did not pay attention to which end should grow up and had to guess if the cuttings were right side up in my prop box. Now I make sure to cut the leafless stems shorter at the substrate end. Thanks for the videos!

[@petevsplants7516]

Nice one! I think the trick is it's the way those sheathes are facing on the vine. They point upwards. same thing for the growth points if they've popped.

[@purelygrounded3902]

I put cuttings in water, over the first node. That should work fine, right? Thanks 😁

[@carolstuff]

You’ll soon have a valley of obliqua. Thanks for sharing Pete!

[@petevsplants7516]

Hehe hopefully :D You a fan? They seem to be a love/hate plant.

[@carolstuff]

Love it! Need to get one.

[@Melzz5262]

Your videos are always up for my morning workout and are the perfect time for my 30min cardio. I love waking up to plants with you before I start my day. THANKS PETE!

[@Rhondas_Flippin_Life]

Thank you for the last few seconds 😂 I needed that giggle

[@petevsplants7516]

Hehe glad someone hung out long enough to see it :D where are watching from Rhonda?

@petevsplants7516 lol, not a true subscriber if you don't hang out. Just a hop, skip, and a jump away in the US of A 🇺🇸 🌎 🇦🇺

[@jamesparadigm]

🐸🧦 Oooh exciting! I can't wait to see how these grow out for you! 💚

[@petevsplants7516]

Yeah fingers crossed they grow fast and don't run haha

[@margimorris7360]

Thanks so much Pete. They are all tucked in and ready for some yummy roots. So appreciate your great communication and making this video. I look forward to updating you. 🍀

[@petevsplants7516]

My pleasure, mate! Keep me posted :D

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Pete, I really really enjoyed your video and watching you propagate those Oblique Monsteras and repotting the mother plants too. I have subscribed and given you a thumbs up too

[@southofthesticks]

Ohhh what are the chances l see this tonight ?!! 😳 l was just looking at some of these last night, on line, to buy. I'm gonna get my hands on one of these real soon ! 💚 can't wait. Great video Pete ! 💚👍🇦🇺

[@petevsplants7516]

Yay! Glad it was good timing then. Let me know how you go, mate!

[@amelise]

Great vid Pete I hope those cuttings go off for you and the mother plants do better now they have something to climb. 🐸🧦

[@petevsplants7516]

Hehe cheers, mate. Might have to send one your way if you want it assuming they take.

[@amelise]

Mate without doubt you're one of the most generous people I know. I'm absolutely planning on buying some of your plants as soon as I'm not broke AF! You deserve to be paid for the work you put in

[@petevsplants7516]

@@amelise :D all good, mate. What goes around, comes around. Whether or not you buy anything, just pass it on where you can!

[@KathyGallagher01]

Nice one Pete 👍 you got a few wet sticks there that’s for sure lol. I learnt from Jan SPG to fill the bottom of the pole with your soil and then put in pot. I’ve done it with plastic back ones and they don’t come out when you hold it up by the pole. I’m sure I’ve seen you put soil in pole with the round poles you have. 😝🌱💚

[@petevsplants7516]

Yeah, that's the normal thing I do. This is the first time trying the D shaped one. Hopefully it means I don't have to wet it as often haha

[@ConnieP92]

Looking forward to an update on these Pete! I've done similar with my Monstera Peru runners and real curious to see them grow hehe

[@richardr5878]

I guess I’ve been blessed (or cursed) that I haven’t had any runners. Just think, if you had what you have today in 2020, you’d be able to comfortably retire. 😂 Hell, last year I paid $50 for a node. I love the D shaped poles. Like clear backs to see roots. They stay moist days longer. I got a fever and Dr. Pete wrote me a prescription. Need more Monstera! Got an El Salvador inbound. Great Etsy buy. Love to see one of those nodes in the station vs box.

[@petevsplants7516]

Oh nice work, mate! The El Salvador's are awesome when they get large hehe (which I'm yet to do) but I've been drooling over Jan's from Sydney Plant Guy haha

[@cassiemaddie8774]

🥰~it, looks like a good job, would love to see a reposting of how the plant turned out😀😀!!!

[@discingaround]

Come back Pete! We miss your videos!!!

[@MyLocsMyPlants]

nice ! I had to toss my tiny monstera Thai and Albo into a party mix container with moss 🤣 I had them in a terracotta pot bc I didn't want to overwater them and I ended up doing the opposite lol. roots were dry af BUT since they've been in the moss I've noticed new root growth yay 🎉😂

[@petevsplants7516]

Haha glad to hear it. Think you'll pot them up soon?

[@MyLocsMyPlants]

@Pete vs Plants absolutely not 🤣🤣 I have my fingers crossed spring just started so maybe by mid summer idk. I need to see a good amount of roots this time my albo was a wetstick!

[@petevsplants7516]

[@single_use_planet_]

I love the lazy pole design from unplantparenthood and gang, I use the same plastic as your potting mat which is drawer liners and put strips of some clear plastic tablecloth around, it's great because I don't have to water more moss than the plant needs, the moistire stays in way longer, getting the plant out is easy as hell, putting it together couldn't be more simple, I can reuse it endlessly and I can easily fill the pole with whatever the fuck I can think of. The best part is that omce my plant hits the top I can take the whole thing out, cut it up, repot the top and get it to size up more as I can sell or gift the bottom right away since it's rooted already

[@petevsplants7516]

Ah very clever! I like their design too, i need to try it at some point. Are you in Aus and getting these materials from Bunnings?

[@single_use_planet_]

@@petevsplants7516 I'm in germany 😅 took me a bit to find sturdy enough plastic for the backing which is why I had to start using thr liners, I looked through multiple hardware stores to find something I could use that was entirely clear but haven't had any luck yet... Maybe bunnings has the right stuff! Everytime you go there they seem to have a bajillion things, our stores just got the extremely rare philodendron prince of orange lmao so bunnings seems like a wonderland Really pumped for you to try it! Propping the plant is sooo easy with that method I just love it so much!!

[@petevsplants7516]

@@single_use_planet_ Yeah it's the same thing here, really hard to find any decent plastic. I've gone to Bunnings and found some thicker sturdier shower curtain plastics can work. Then I've also gone to Officeworks (office supply store) and found some plastic used to A3 documents which can be cut into sheets and used as the lazy pole that Charmaine uses. It's tough though. I probably need to visit a place called Clark Rubber which deals with everything rubber, plastic, etc. for your house, vehicle, etc.

[@single_use_planet_]

@@petevsplants7516 that sounds promising! I looked through ikea online but not irl and found the liners in a house supply store in the kitchen area I was thinking of using shower curtain but none were the right material and the clear tablecloths are too flimsy to hold up, office supply sounds promising! Excited to see what you can find locally!

[@mjb6319]

Stolons/runners are a natural part of an Obliqua's growth habit, if if the plant is in contact with a moss pole, tree, the ground, or other surfaces.

[@leon20827]

Oh cool!!😍😍 I love your video s. do you make a movie also with the progress? I am jealous haha..first i wish that i had a obliqua and second i had also many runners haha.. Do you send also to the netherlands 😜😜 I love the bins with spaghnummoss. I used it also for my props.

[@Krazerica]

any update on the runner props

[@nobodysbusinessnowinnit3272]

need update on those. I just got this plant and worried about one leaf end bit browning, but if you got some of that as well - no worries for me :D

[@semimeerkat]

Does Susan have a page to be linked to? If so, may I recommend including it in descriptions when mentioned to direct Australians or to even give others something to reference from? 😊

[@petevsplants7516]

On it. I'll chat to her and get her details. Thanks Crystal.

[@dollycaldwell4938]

Oh wow....I never knew that runners could be used for propagation....would this work for Hoyas too?

[@petevsplants7516]

If they've got nodes on them that can shoot out auxiliary buds, they should work. I haven't done it with hoyas before, but maybe give it a go :D

[@bwilliams5471]

Interested to see the progress of the runners and how long it takes them to root. I have not had any success with moss poles so I stopped trying😢 now I just stake them up and they are doing fine.

[@od.vandeveer]

I have my first leaf on a obliqua wetstik I bought . So glad to see you have leaves without holes as well because the first leaf could be anything. 0 holes. Wich substrate works best for you? Mine is still in moss but I can do a chunky aroid mix or pon

[@petevsplants7516]

Wooo nice work! Yeah the first few leaves may not fenestrate. It's usually leaf 2-3 that it starts with.

[@petevsplants7516]

Substrate for planting them up? If they're small cuttings, I'd use an aroid mix with smaller grain size so the roots don't dry out as fast.

[@od.vandeveer]

@@petevsplants7516 Thanks, I will try that

[@GreenWitch1]

Is there a follow up to this video?

[@Freemasonry]

My esqueleto has a 6' runner.

[@claudiovaldez2803]

Is easy o difficult care?

[@jarrostrijkert9444]

Hi Pete! I was wondering if you propagated runners of the obliqua peru before and if you knew how long it could take for them to do anything (rooting and growing leaves) Love your videos!

[@jillianleblanc9370]

Very nice collection of plants anytime you have plants sale please let me know have a blessed day

[@petevsplants7516]

Cheers, Jillian. Just check out my ebay store linked in the description :D

[@janeallen2562]

I've had a wet stick in moss for months and it's trying to pop a leaf but I'm losing hope now !

[@petevsplants7516]

Yeah, it's common. Some just don't do it for whatever reason. There'll be a % of these that for some reason or another don't grow roots or a shoot, or they begin then stop.

[@keez7309]

Where did you even get an obliqua?😩

[@petevsplants7516]

eBay and Facebook groups. They're everywhere now.

[@hobin_rude]

Couple hundred? xD Not anymore! I saw them at the garden section of a hardware centre in Europe for 50 smackaroonies for a 4-5 leaf plant LOL

[@fia8079]

I was pretty sure plants send out runners looking for more light.

[@neuberknight575]

Sometimes less (for shade)

[@chungle9426]

When will you into Hoya? 😂

[@petevsplants7516]

Lol stop it... I have enough addictions re: plants as it is haha I'm sure it'll happen soon enough. Probably the first jurassic looking one I see, I'll buy.

[@zerinfiroze]

Why is this guy doing so much drama with the blade? Just use a pruner.

[@cbs2508]

Why are you so overly fixated on infection? If you're that determined to introduce it while working on our plants, maybe you should be wearing gloves and a mask. This is annoying video!!

[@karianngardenguru]

looks like you have nothing...

[@josiptumapa]

I just CAME BACK to this video coz I THINKSSSSSSS my OBLIQUA is setting off a runner eventho it has a pole. Is this normal for them??! I seem to see a lot of videos of this happen.
