How to Repot a MONSTERA PLANT | I saved my Monstera Plant!

[@maplejubilee]

Drop any other tips you may have below. To my fellow plant folks out there, what do you think...am I ready for a fiddle leaf plant now???

[@marciamatteini7604]

Hi. I know this video is 2years old but I really loved the way you showed how to repot the plant. And bonus points for allowing us to see your beautiful children! His bless you and your family✝️❤️

[@maplejubilee]

Aww thank you so much. I'm way past due for an updated video. My plant is so HUGE now lol.

[@evelynzarahy]

The aerial roots, those are signs your monstera is really healthy, wow. CONGRATULATIONS!!!

[@lindajackson8068]

Your son is doing a good job, he is learning how to be a plant 🪴 Dad, good job Mom ❤

[@callmereebi]

I have watched multiple videos on how to repot and care for my monsters I rescued from Home Depot and yours is the only one that really helped! I did find out that I think that thing growing out of yours is an aerial root starting! Thank you again!!!

[@ThatsSheShe]

Yes, they are areal roots. I train mines to go back into the soil to give my plant more support.

[@fernandafernandez1256]

Thank you so much for all your information. It sure helped me!

[@jaceylynne7475]

those wonky little noodley looking things called aerial roots! They help the monstera to attach to things like trees or moss poles when they're climbing

[@max_dottie]

Tip with repotting only go up an inch or two max in pot size, reduces the risk of rot etc

[@TheRJT7]

Thank you for this!! I was gifted a Swiss cheese plant a few years ago and they started growing out of the pot and hanging over. After watching your video I was able to get what I needed and I’m so impressed at how tall they are! Thank you! 🙏🏿

[@memdy7452]

I loved this video!❤ I loved the mom❤, the baby❤, the adorable, helpful, young son💕, and of course, the progress of her monstera plant! 😉 🌱

[@leannemarie83]

Thank you for this ! I just rescued a monsters plant that had been neglected for a bit . It was massive and looked lush when I got it but I think it got shock from a 2 hr car ride and new environment. It was bone dry when I got it so I gave it a generous watering and have the leaves turned yellow ! This video has given me inspiration to repot it and that’s there is hope . I’m not sure if someone else responded - the little things growing off are aerial roots . 💚 🌱 happy planting 🪴

[@RightToFreedomGirl]

@lean: yes i brought mine hm from Hm Depot and the tips of leaves look burned & leaves r drooping😢 idk what to do. I'm poking soil to irnsire moisture exists

[@Ebonie.with.an.I.E]

Wow! I haven't gotten past the first 15 seconds of the video and I feel confident I clicked on the right video. My Monstera looks just like yours and it's in the same basket (Target) as yours on a stand too. 😆😊 I'm at the end of the video ow. Great job! I've been scared to repot mine but you have inspired me to do it today. 😊 Great video!

[@maplejubilee]

Yay!! Let me know how it turns out. And yes you are so right I got that basket from Target lol.

[@shell3775]

You did a beautiful job. She looks so happy now. They like their roots more crowded, only 1-2 inches space betweenthe root ball and pot. If you had used the next size up, the soil would have stayed too wet and caused root rot.

[@michellearroyo6606]

Loved your real-life video, thank you!

[@JermaineJagger]

Loveee this video!! Thanks for the inspiration! I just rescued a tormented monstera this morning from walmart! got it for half off for only 12bux and just repotted it and hoping for the best. this gives me hope!

[@tinamichaud-gonzales4365]

This is such a great video, thank you! Perhaps my monstera has hope, it’s also looking pretty sad and I’m getting ready to repot it, hope it goes as well as yours did! The transformation is amazing!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 One thing I’ve learned & wanted to share that if you repot yours again into a bigger size, it will keep getting bigger vs if you leave it where it is, it will get fuller but the climbing and overall size will level off. So really it just depends on how big you want it and how much space you have.

[@kingsqueen1]

Thank you for this! About to repot mine right now! Praying my results are as good as yours. Wish I had an extra set of hands to help! Your son is so cute! And the baby!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@tripoutart]

My monsters is dying and seeing your video gave me the resources to try to bring it back to life. Amazing! Thank you for sharing :)

[@maplejubilee]

You're so welcome!

[@jeanmuhammad1373]

Finally! A video that gives me the advice and visuals I needed to know how to save my Baby! Thank you!

[@Inisfad]

I guess others have already answered your question, but those things that you point out toward the end of the video are air roots. The monstera actually uses them, to cling on to other plants, as it actually looks like a vine in the wild. Also, the split leaves are from stalks that are more mature. Immature leaves do not have splits.

[@joyr5497]

I was just about to give up on my Monstera. This video is so helpful. Beautiful plant.

[@maplejubilee]

Don't give up on it. Repot it and give it a few weeks :)

[@LineDang-us8zp]

Awww you are so cute! Those things coming out from your monstera is actually air roots, when they grow long enough you can stick them down in the soil at that will help your plant to get more nutrition higer up twords the plant, and yeah it will grow big and strong and you'll even might see beautiful changes in your leafs too😍❤️ keep up the good work❤️👌🏼

[@maplejubilee]

Thank you so much!! It's even bigger now!🥰

[@mjdawes2980]

Thanks for sharing! Your Monstera Plant looks gorgeous! I'm ready to replant two of mine.

[@Theperilsofbev]

Your vid made me sooo happy! Beautiful plant

[@maplejubilee]

Thank you so much! :)

[@aprilgreen398]

Wow, love this video!! I have been looking for info on repotting my monstera and Im so glad that I stumbled on yours. Great info, no dilly dallying, just straight to it. 👍Thanks so much

[@bassgirl_denalia9087]

I had to subscribe!! Such wonderful information and I love how you have your son helping out. We need more future green thumbs!! 🥰🥰🥰😍

[@maplejubilee]

Thank you so much!😊

[@hananinur4031]

this is so cool!! would you make a video about any update on how this monstera is going today? it must be huge by now 😍

[@Ravenelvenlady]

Excellent video. The little prongs growing out of the sides are just aerial roots.

[@MsPrettyB]

@Marsha Eileen Hey there! You could actually put them back into the soil. It takes in nutrients and water. You could leave them where they are, or you could put in a moss pole in your pot and train them to grow toward the pole, which in turn trains the plant to grow upwards be cause it's originally a climbing plant in it's habitat that likes to climb trees!

[@ibelca2b]

Hi! Some one already suggested the moss pole. The plant also needs bright sunlight that will give the little hole on the leaves . Once in a while bring it to the shower or when it rains bring it out side. There are videos to show you where to cut the leaves. Use a humidifier your plant will be happy in its own habitat. I love Montera. Don’t cut them that will help the plant to grow tall and climb

[@KristySiler]

What an adorable helper you have!❤❤❤

[@haydenn_2]

love the video it’s amazing, those little root looking things you can cut under it about 1 inch under and put the whole cut off part in water or soil and have more monstrea plants just little baby ones

[@rochellejohns5825]

OMG this was so thoroughly and helpful I enjoyed the beginning to the progression of the plant. This gave me the confidence to repot mine. Girl thanks love it 🪴 The life of a plant Amazingly Breathtaking

[@jamiedelgado1484]

I bought one at Walmart today that looks like you day 1 plant. Fingers crossed I can do what you did with yours. Great video 😁

[@heykarm]

So inspired to repot my Monstera! Your video is amazing! My plant right now looks exactly like yours at the start, droopy and dying. You gave me hope!!! Thank you! 😊

[@maplejubilee]

Yay!! I was nervous at first, but I'm so glad I did it. It makes a huge difference.

[@manaliwicz]

brilliant. just followed your video trying to revive mine that looked almost like yours - albiet a bit more droopy and curled leaves. report back in 3-4 months :)

[@maplejubilee]

Yes, please let me know how it goes!

[@_Pelagikos14]

You've created a MONSTERa 🤭 I love that you got right to it and I was so enamored with your excitement! I love plants...you did a great job! 🌿🍃☺️👍 PS, it's okay if they get a little root bound! Don't repot if you can until spring or early summer.

[@maplejubilee]

Thank you! Thank you!! I appreciate the advice!😊

[@ghaleable]

And your assistant is so cute, too!!!

[@zolawilliams1]

Great video!!! Exactly what I was looking for. I have hope for my unhappy monsteras 😅

[@Ladykbrooke]

Put a moss pole in the soil. It’s trying to grab on to something. In the wild, they climb on other trees and branches. Let it climb and the leaves with become so huge.

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

I love the monstera varieties ❤

[@MsPrettyB]

You did an awesome job! Beautiful plant. I think there hope for mine now. I was going to throw it out and start over. Thanks!

[@maplejubilee]

Thank you so much!!

[@MsPrettyB]

The growths off the side of the stalks are Arial roots that are growing. It's a sign it growing very well and they are used to anchor the plant because it going to grow upwards and very big!!! I made a mistake and didn't know what they were on my plant and cut them off 😬

[@maplejubilee]

Oh wow! So what do I do if they are growing outside the pot? One is so long now that it's almost touching the floor!

[@laisharizzo8346]

@@maplejubilee if you put them in a lil jar of water and change the water weekly it will promote new growth on your monstera, try it out and don't have the whole aerial root submerged in water

[@moniquelockhart6942]

Im trying to safe my plant to very helpful . I didnt know what that was called. Going to try that. Can i cut off the brown leave? Can it be outaide in 100 degree weather doing recover? I bought a 20 oz pot. I also saw white bags in the soil

[@amymarquez1761]

Love your videos on transplanting your plants. I have to transplant my snake plant . Just an idea when I have to mix soil I get big bowl to mix it in before then scoop out of that.

[@maplejubilee]

OMG...how come I never thought of that! Lol! thanks so much!❤️

[@queenknyoki5447]

🇬🇧thank you for this video 🙏🏾 I truly know how you felt cause this is my current worry😢 but this video tells me exactly what to do now🙂 and I am hopeful ❤😊

Great video very detailed!

[@rosamasciopinto4381]

I recently moved to a new uni accommodation and had to leave my plants for the last month…. My monstera looks how yours began in the video 🤦‍♂️. I was sooo worried as I’d grown him from a small baby, so I have hope now!!!

That looks amazing at 4 months!!!

Well done, I'm in the process of rescuing one of mine too.

[@princesspretty4520]

Luv your video! I know I’m late to the party. Lol But I just bought/rescued the saddest monstera on the planet from Lowe’s for 8 bux. I am definitely going to use your tips. And those are aerial roots 😂😂. They do look weird. Lol

looks beautiful I will be repotting my baby today =)

This video is amazing! My monstera looks so weird and has roots growing out of everywhere and I can't figure out what to do.

[@jennifernewman7237]

Great video and you did an awesome job with your Monstera. I have to ask. Where did you get that gorgeous wicker basket your Monstera was in? I've been looking for one I like and yours is perfect.

[@devanste50]

The are Ariel roots that’s how they stabilize themselves in the wild.

[@ebonydudley5030]

That’s beautiful ❤

[@kaitlynhill597]

this video gave me hope that i can save mine! it’s already pretty big so i’m going to need a giant pot 😂

[@maryalvarez7281]

Loved the video! I thought the splits occur when the plant is exposed to the right amount of light.

[@maplejubilee]

I remember someone at the garden store telling me that the splits are already pre-determined before the leaf blooms. So naturally you will have some with and without splits. I love it because each new leaf is a surprise.

[@Mischa808]

The older the plant gets the top leaves, if given the right amount of South or West facing light, will open with fenestration slots already in them. This allows lower leaves to still get sun, if they were growing natively in their jungle habitat. New leaves growing without slips after cutting is a sign the plant is recalibrating. Fenestration will start again with good light and the leaves aging some more. Good luck with that beauty. You did well. Try a coir pole, or a wood stick or trellis. Moss poles can mildew easily and that's another problem

[@carleanr4051]

If there are no leaves on the stems but have nodes, will it still root in water and grow more leaves?

[@ericansm1]

Thanks so much for sharing! Mine is like yours exactly and I am going to repot it like you do! Can you share how often did you water it after repotting it?

[@reversesrrr]

Thank you for this video. Giving me hope 🤣. Did you originally put in a new pot because it had outgrown the previous one or were you just wantjng to give it a bigger size to grow in?

[@mariawatson4156]

Hi, how often do you water it? Do you wait for it to dry & then soak it? Or do you keep the dirt moist?

[@Mari-fe7wu]

Can you explain how to water them? How frequently?

[@dakotapreucil1220]

Do you have a fertilizing schedule that you go by??

[@lilyofthevalley54]

Excellent helper 😊

[@geslinam9703]

Mine looked like yours…maybe a little worse. It just wasn’t getting enough light, I think, and was ina standard potting mix. I unpotted it earlier in the summer and threw away what couldn’t be salvaged - got three good size cuttings, which have rooted and look ok. I think I’ll just keep them in their little pots over the winter and then pot them all together in the spring in aroid mix spring in an orchid pot. With a moss pole maybe. Plants that grow like philodendrons and monsteras need good air circulation to their roots.

[@effanalytics699]

thank you looks fab!

[@deidrajimi9816]

Great video and So beautiful!!!! what do you do with the old soil?

[@rosesakura6604]

During those 3 months, do you use any plant fertilizer along the way? TIA

[@maplejubilee]

No I didn't use any for mine.

Awesome job 👌🔥🔥👍

[@maplejubilee]

Thank you!!!

[@cloud-pants]

Thank you for the detailed instructions! This helped me out a lot, and you and your kid are so cute!

[@jimporter]

Those growths are roots. Monsteras will naturally grow up other trees using them for support, similar to a vine or ivy. Those roots will grip into the grooves in tree bark giving support and catching water running down the tree trunk.

[@maplejubilee]

Oh wow!! That's interesting. So since there aren't any trees beside it, what will happen to them? Will they just continue to grow outside and down the sides of the pot?

[@petebeaty8712]

@@maplejubilee as the aerial roots get longer...just redirect them back into the soil and they will provide structural support for the plant...as well as form soil roots for nutritional support of the upper leaves.

[@desireehopkins7466]

Put the aerial root in water to encourage more growth.

[@talbot75]

Those are aerial roots, if you use a moss or coco pole, they will attach to it. In nature these plants grow up/on other trees

[@maplejubilee]

Wow!! Ok, thanks so much. So what do you do if your aerial roots are growing outside the pot? I have one that is so long now that its almost touching the floor😮

[@quki3]

@@maplejubilee your supposed to attach aerial roots to the coco pole or cut it back so it fits back in the dirt in the pot. If you cut them the plant will produce more and your have an out of control octopus plant attaching to your walls and floors! 😆 also his plant likes right pots - you really needed to give it a thorough watering and place it by a south facing sunny window. I replanted mine and it looks awful because I used a pot that was too big. 😢

[@ebonybrewster1274]

Well done you and your son, but you do know you have a few plants in one pot? You need to have all the backs of the plant facing the back pole. That way it will grow tidy and not all over the place. All the areal roots face the back of the plant.

[@FBIagent22-q1d]

Do you top or bottom water it? I think it needs more light though, your new leaves have no fenestrations. Those things on the sides are arial roots, your baby wants to climb. You can cut them or guide them back into your pot.

[@maplejubilee]

What are fenestrations? I wish I would have done something with the arial roots before now. I have one that is so long its almost touching the floor😔

[@hanelno]

Fenestrations are the cuts in the leaves :) the new leaves have more or less cuts depending on the plants exposure to light :)

[@happinessinleaf]

Watching

[@AgnesWoods-pd3qq]

Roots. You should have also put in stones or polystyrene in bottom of pot for drainage.

[@karenbrown4239]

Don’t clip them they are root stabilizers. The plant climbs so it will stabilize and this roots will go into the soil to help it punch upwards. They also grab on to your stalk or moss stick to grow upwards. Please don’t cut them.
