1) Definitely a pruning video. For all kinds of plants. Like is it only necessary when the leaves are dying off to simple evolution? Or to reshape a plant to your liking or to propagate?What about Monstera Delicioso- I have 12 fully developed leaves with beautiful fenestration but there are 3 same size leaves that have none- do you recommend pruning those off? 2) How about a bottom watering video. I bottom water 90% of my plants, only using distilled water. Been working out terrifically (don't fix what isn't broken lol) but I often wonder is half way up to the soil line enough (I use clear orchid pots for most of my plants)? Here's one you probably never heard, and I've never seen addressed-so here goes.. 3) Because I use only distilled water, which gets pretty pricey when you have 45+ plants, I often use the excess water to water my next plant. And so on and on. Because I top dress my plants with worm castings (which I then top water) I also use the water run off on other plants that need watering. Is it dangerous to re-use expelled water? Don't want to jinx myself, but the only pest I've ever had was fungus gnats- which I completely eradicated using an indoor bug zapper- killed the adults immediately, then the babies got wings and they died, so yay! That gadget stopped the cycle in it's tracks and no more yellow sticky traps which only prolongs their death and aren't always effective. Bug zapper is a much more humane way because it's instantaneous. Highly recommend...Amazon sells them and many are on sale at this time of the year. Anyway lol you asked and I delivered on topics. Maybe my reply will introduce information that some people may find informative. PS: I love your voice. So glad I somehow found you on a recommendation video. Great job! Going to check out your website too! 🎉❤🌱🍃🙌👏🦋🐞 😊

I'd love to see your take on propagating common houseplant varieties.

[@monstrofarm]

any plant in particular. I'm working on one for pothos and fiddle leaf fig. @@skidiggydiggs4529

[@lorenalittlejohn7379]

How to grow more leaves faster, also advice on using moss poles or trellis on plants.

[@hadooart4161]

I love your videos. You’re the only one who makes jokes every plant person is so serious. 😂😂😂

[@monstrofarm]

Haha. Thank you for watching and glad you like my sad attempt at being funny.

[@lorenalittlejohn7379]

Great videos! You’re comedic take on house plants really helps me watch the content until the end. 👍🏽 It’s always good to get different perspectives on how to care for a monstera. Mine just grew its first fenestrated leaf! 🙌🏽 New Subby. Will be following your content and suggestions.

[@monstrofarm]

Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed the content. Congratulations on your first fenestration. I’m sure they’ll be many more in the future.

[@inescbarrocas]

this is so fascinating! and the way you talk is so fun to watch

[@monstrofarm]

Thank you for watching and for your kind words.

[@izaiza7101]

I agree😊 fascinating, very interesting and helpful

[@monstrofarm]

@@izaiza7101thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@Keeshamonique]

So, when cutting to propogate or separate the plant you cut on the lowest part of the main stem?

[@jaymelayne8767]

Love your content!! Never heard anyone talk about the direction of the monstera before, by far my favorite plant. Im about to have to fix the direction of my plant now. I will definitely follow and like. Great video!!

[@monstrofarm]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed and found the content useful.

[@itsmeeandrea]

Wow fantastic editing! Definitely hit like and subscribe after this video. Beautiful monsteras too. I just recently had a thrip infection hit all my monsteras and that sucked 🥲

[@monstrofarm]

Thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed it. Thrips can definitely be a hassle, but glad you got over them.

[@abigailperezful]

Excellent video. I’m positive one of my monsteras is root bound, she’s growing, thriving but she growing crazy in every direction and I’m starting to notice some drooping.

[@monstrofarm]

if the leaves are drooping, definitely check the roots to see if it's rootbound. In regards to growing crazy try attaching the individual stems to a bamboo pole if it's smaller plant or a cedar plank if it's a larger plant. This will help stabilize your plant and help produce fenestrations as long as it's receiving sufficient light.

[@torquess454]

Ooo brilliant, mines about 4x4 feet or so, the rootball COMPLETELY SOLID. So next go with it, I’m gonna trim extra stems or plants, readjust and reface in one direction, and give it a new lease on life, thanks for this!!

[@monstrofarm]

Good luck on that project and let me know if I can help. Thanks for watching. Much appreciated.

[@skidiggydiggs4529]

This channel is amazing! Found your videos today, and couldn't be happier to find MonstroFarm. I'm a new monstera keeper, and am very happy to learn more about these wonderful plants. Keep up the great work!

[@monstrofarm]

Very glad you're enjoying the channel. I just want to tell you it really means a lot for you to take time from your day to comment on my channel. Much appreciated. 🙏

[@skidiggydiggs4529]

@monstrofarm Absolutely! Your delivery, cadence, humor, and presentation are top-notch. Looking forward to seeing what you post next. 🙂

Me just having my monstera in coco husk soil from dollar tree 🧍🏽‍♂️

[@stephenwong3710]

Great informative tips in your video! It looks like your monstera is the small form(borsigniana)monstera. If you want it to become really big, you might want to look into the deliciosa variety…. They get way bigger leaves and have more fenistrations(holes).

[@jessicaenyart4214]

I love a good re-pot video!

I really have a problem of how to repot this plant 🪴 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@kb9940]

whats the problem?? i just repotted mine!

[@jakeeralam6910]

Great video! The potting mix has pine bark, perlite, and coir. Did you add anything else?

[@monstrofarm]

Thank you. Yes, it's 1 part pine bark, 1 part perlite and 1 peat or coir or a mixture of the 2. I didn't use anything else.
