Maintaining variegation and buying guide for the variegated Monstera

[@rbarrie7817]

Don't pay any attention to "haters" , some people just love to complain 🙄, new subscriber here, I appreciate your knowledge 🌞

[@melvinhoyk]

Yeah, ignore them. They are just want to create fire and see how you react to it.

[@yolandacamillo4957]

Yap, they are only jealous don't pay any attention to them. Keep going!!!!! I love all your plants. Stay safe

[@thehattersmadness1957]

If anyone has watched you from the beginning, like I have, they would know that you love propagating all your plants. I personally don’t have the space to let all my plants get huge. Trading cuttings or plant babies is how I get new varieties I want without spending $$$$. I have enjoyed every one of your videos. You show your positive and negative outcomes from propagation. Is this not how we all learn. I see plants......not dollar signs. Thank you Sean💚✌️🌿🌱🍃🦜

[@onlyplants]

Thank you so much 🥺

[@joyv.9011]

U hi îuiiii nnn no I initially I too i

[@CK_29]

As a fervent plant care fanatic, I am obsessed with your videos. Thank you so much for your hard work, expertise, and ethical approach.

[@onlyplants]

Thank youu

[@samanthazie2465]

I love how chill you are like we're friends and how mad you got about people selling bum plants. You're so rad

[@kokonutmamahoke5061]

I have as Beautiful varigated monstera. But it put out 4 all white leaves. Learning that I will need to cut them off is depressing but i didnt realize keeping the white leaves is doing more harm. They are so Beautiful even though they are all white. I wish I could post a photo for you all to see. I will be chopping it this weekend and propagating what can be saved. Thank you for all priceless advice!

[@onlyplants]

This process is exciting! I hope you got some good babies at the bottom nodes.

[@minimini550]

Even your dog is variegated! Blue merle coat 💙 Thanks for the always great plant info, Sean

[@noelle7714]

I love your channel don’t change it for anyone. You’ve always propagated your plants and you have gained so much knowledge from doing so, we’ve ALL learned from you, and you doing all the work. Don’t change anything, I love what you do. 🤗

[@onlyplants]

Thank you 😌🙏🏽

[@dominicflorio5708]

You have a right to show off beautiful plants. You put the money and the work into them. I have been keeping plants for years, and I continue to learn.

[@lamalama503]

Don’t be a dumb dumb 😂 thank you Sean, this makes my heart warms to hear this coming from an expert

[@lisarazon9489]

🗣️ I want to blast this message all over my Facebook plant groups!

[@mahreeesah]

This video is so helpful! Unfortunately, there still seems to be an issue with buyers receiving rotted cuttings. I think a lot of sellers have jumped on the trend without proper knowledge of how to care for these plants. The buyers then spend a lot of money on an unhealthy cutting that is slowly dying.

[@onlyplants]

🥲🥲

[@colorfullifettt5251]

Don’t worry about those haters. I’ve learned so much from your videos and obviously, you’re knowledgeable and spend lots of time experimenting and sharing your secrets. Thanks!!

[@you_r_my-world2288]

Thanks for the advice. Very helpful. I’ve noticed you’re always honest.

[@danielac983]

Love your videos. They are very informative. Don't listen to the haters. Haters gonna hate. In the end their comments will only make you stronger. Thank you for sharing your videos. I always go back for reference. 😁💚

[@tp5805]

I bought one stunning cutting with 4 leaves with about 50/50 white or more for 4 Dollars!! I still can‘t believe how lucky I was. After half a year I bought one from the same seller for my sister ❤️

[@anjalisawant8765]

Can you pls share me the seller info . Is it from etsy?

[@sugarlover8809]

You are definitely not a show off, I’ve learned so much about houseplant care through your videos! It’s easy to see that you just truly love gardening and growing plants🥺💕

[@paulaosborne601]

I don’t think you are a show off . Love everything you do. I learn a lot and get to see your beautiful plants. Too bad for the haters

[@Patch978]

Truer words have never been spoken. Thank you for your advice!

[@nerinareyes]

People love to throw rocks at things that shine. Sooo keep shining, Sean! Always love your honesty and humility in your videos. Keep doing you!

[@mohamedtalhah3095]

Your presentations r clear, comprehensive n honest. I’m leaning a lot from them; thanx so much. However I have one complaint: often your camera changes position too fast,, which can be quite dizzying for someone my age. Please be a little gentle and move yer camera slowly when moving it from one plant/plant part to another. Thanx again

[@sirikunyacrochet]

Many thanks I do leaning a lot from this V.D.O👍

[@onlyplants]

❤️❤️

[@EliezaBaby]

Haters will be haters and show they don't know who you are and never follow you . Love this topic 👏 ❤ 😍 👌 🙌 highly appreciate it . Right on spot because I got it on a node cut in 2 that got same even variegated nodes i cut in 2 for security and experiment. 1 cut went to my boyfriend's office and get indirect light and gave 3 leaves with variegation and the 2nd with me in the house but have me 1 leaf that's green and dust of white variegation getting low light from the kitchen bay window . With this video and your brave propagation ill be giving it direct light now . Keep up good works 👍 and HELLO FROM TORONTO , CANADA 🇨🇦

[@onlyplants]

Whoaa yes, do propagate it once you have enough research. I recommend air layering them before propagating. 🤓

[@mrwest73]

subscribed as soon as I heard your comments about unethical, unrooted, and ROTTED cuttings for sale! I cannot agree more

[@onlyplants]

Thank you, welcome to the channel!

[@botanicassie]

Aren’t you supposed to show off your gorgeous prized monsteras!? You should absolutely show them off. And you should absolutely sell them whenever the hell you want. Not because of jealousy or anything but because you’re ready. Thank you for the video! So informative and quality showing. I love them! They look great!

[@onlyplants]

Thank youu.

[@len31613]

Sean you're so honest, no wonder I keep watching your videos. Thank you! :)

[@juliaguerre9036]

Uhm ... I forget to ask you to let Josie and Gia(?) to participate in your video. They are cute 😍

[@onlyplants]

Haha its the rainy season they are indoors mostly these days. One more month!

[@livingwithinne1756]

Your video is very honest and enlightening. In the middle of this hectic plants enthusiasm, watching influencers sometimes make myself feel my way of planting is way behind. And I will keep your words: be patient with the plants. No need to speed up their growth. Thank you Sean..

[@ari505]

Much respect for your words. Yesss call it out. It's not fair it's not right. Beautiful plants 😍 thank you for the great content

[@luperobles124]

I’m so glad I found you! Ignore the haters! Your an amazing soul and can’t wait to see more of your videos!

[@gracewithnature]

Thank you for your honesty and modesty with the way you protect people in that sense (buying nodes)

[@diannawarner340]

You have goals. Keep your eye on the prize and please don't let people full of snarky comments get to you. I have watched so so many of your videos and know you love propagating all your plants. I thoroughly enjoy all your videos. Keep up the good work!

[@onlyplants]

Thank you so much 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@len3458]

I love to watch all of your videos,I really appreciate you share your knowledge to others.theres some people are heater my be they feel envy that you have a beautiful and healthy plant.

[@evehasmanyfaces3248]

Don’t apologize to these haters. Those of us genuine people who are happy, subscribe or watch your videos completely understand and do not have those thoughts at all about you. I love your content. I learn something new each time I what. Thank you for being you and sharing.

[@onlyplants]

Thank you so much

[@lemonan5244]

Do not pay any mind to haters! Hateful people find anything to hate on. Keep on doing you! You're the most informative and humble plant person I watch and follow.

[@onlyplants]

Thank you 😌

[@rich72828]

Beautiful! I don't have a lot of money but I got a Thai cutting from my Dad and made 5 plants so far. I'm going to trade one for a v. Monstera and this video helped me learn more about them because I realize they are more risky than Thai Constellation. Thanks for the help with information. Don't worry what people say, you enjoy the gift of growing your plants well the way you like, keep them, sell them or gift them. Do what is practical for you and or gives you joy! I'm keeping my Thai to trade for rare kinds because that is my need. Thanks for giving of your time

[@onlyplants]

I struggle so hard with the Thai constellation 😅 they put out leaf in every 6 months

[@rich72828]

@@onlyplants not mine, about once a month. You probably need more light, hard to achieve enough without a good window so I have mine under lights

[@blizzardcontentinator8405]

this was the first video i watched on your channel. looking forward to check out more. this was really informative

[@onlyplants]

Whoaa thank you. Welcome to the channel

[@fernandam5845]

I love to hear your videos while I'm working or take the time to watch them if I'm strees out. Even though I have a regular monstera thanks for share everything you learned.

[@onlyplants]

Regular monsteras are so cool. Stress-free care and beautiful to look at.

[@waatchdogs6184]

Thank you you've answered some of my questions I am pleased with your channel I do not think you're a show off. Love your teaching. Very educational!

Thats the goal!

[@sihakrios6764]

Lol, how can people think you are a showing off one. I had never the feeling in any video of you. And this video is as allways so informativ. People are jealous. They should be glad that you have so many to show all the different situations on them. I enjoyed it as I do allways. Thank you Sean for all this nice content. And I think when you move away from your parents, you move directly in you own nursery ☺😉 💚🤍💚

[@onlyplants]

Thank you so much 😊

[@tiffanysplantsandgardening934]

People are just jealous and wish they had as many variegated monsteras as you do! I’m happy for you that you have so many! They’re beautiful 😍

[@victoriagrapsidou3474]

You are a saviour! Mine was a case of a rotted plant! I spent 150€ for it! As you said I came forward with that problem in the sellers Instagram because they weren't responding to my e -mails and finally they offered me a new plant for free. ! You know my case I send you pictures of what was left from that monstera albo. And I couldn't agree more with you Sean! We should speak up to the exploration of our love and need for these beautiful plants.

[@yolyrom7233]

Appreciated your honesty regarding this particular Monstera. They’re absolutely beautiful, but I will definitely wait to own one.

[@VeryKinkyCurl]

I fully understand you were saying at the end. It is very true. The market for these plants are ridiculous. I am waiting for it to come down as well. I get that they are beautiful, but they are plants that truthfully ppl are greedy over. You can make more and no need to charge an arm and leg.

[@carolrolfsacredsagehoyas1654]

Just found you a few weeks ago... excellent information .I am Hoya grower/seller (approximately 150 or so) but recently bought a variegated Monstera adansonii because it was just so beautiful. Yes, I paid too much but she was a healthy established plant and I couldn't resist, but I will not pay that price again and encourage high prices . Your videos have been invaluable teaching me the ins and outs of Monstera care. Just wanted to say thanks so much, I subscribed, my plant is thriving and I have a new found love with these beautiful plants so will be adding a few more to my collection. 💚

[@onlyplants]

Thank uou 🥹

[@rachelcordoba6752]

[@Crystal-be9ze]

First I just want to say congratulations on your success with this plant clearly you are knowledgeable about it and that’s something to be proud of!! I didn’t see you coming across as bragging at all however with all you’ve accomplished a little bragging is in order and it’s okay, you deserve it! I almost bought my first variegated monstera wet stick tonight but decided to do some research first and I’m so glad I did, you saved from a huge mistake so thank you I appreciate you and I hope your plants continue to do well so you can start your business, all the best to you 😊

[@onlyplants]

Thank youu. Good luck with your baby. I have a later episode on the variegated monstera that shows how to predict variegation based on visual clues. Do check that one out if you want to know more 😀

There are humans out there that will always choose negativity. Don't let them bring you down. We've seen you house stowaway plants, and admire weeds while being surrounded by rare plants in a nursery. The majority of your viewers know you aren't showing off but sharing knowledge 💚 thank you for the time & effort you put into your videos

Thank you Sean for bringing me back down to earth. Prices are crazy over in Australia. So I'll definitely take your feedback about waiting it off. Can't wait to get it in the future now that I know what to watch out for thanks to you xx

Many people are multiplying this, they will be everywhere soon. As you can see they are quite fast growing and easily propagated.

We are so happy to have you! Now I know to start on a cheaper variegated plant.

[@SemihydroponicswithSma]

Love the multitude of monstera. I bought a cutting 1 year ago and I got only 2 cuttings so far, but hopefully I will get more this year. I have sold the top cutting under the market value, as I do will all my plants. I don't agree with the prices right now, no moral ethics, you are right...is a shame, everyone is after quick money...

[@adahaashiho2164]

Thanks for your helpful video, beautiful variegated monstera.

[@joannebruce5835]

I love watching your beautiful plants, Thanks for sharing.

[@vermillionj1]

I agree! I would only buy rooted plants and if I sold, I would only sell in the warmer months and a fully rooted plant. ☺️💯 I appreciate the learning experiences w growing and propagating, more than the most expensive plants. I couldn't afford them anyways😆 Thanx for another great video Shaun 👍 People should also understand , a plant that is easy for you to find is not always easy to find near someone else's home. So, don't judge what plants you have vs anyone else.

[@onlyplants]

Yeppp availability of plants are very different depending on where we are. I have many wishlists that dont even exist in Indonesia. So happy to have this online community so we can appreciate each others plants and share knowledge 😀

I sean. As always, LOVE your videos! You have answered so many questions for me and I want all viewers to know how attentive you are to your audience. Truly- I APPRECIATE YOU! As you know, I have DREAMED of this plant since I first started my collection but, have never been able to get one of my very own. I am sure you get this a lot but, I trust YOU, is there any opportunities for those of us who would love to say that we have an albo start from YOU??

[@onlyplants]

Thank youu. I have sold a lot of these cuttings but am no longer in the business of selling. I hope you can find one in your area 😀❤️

[@melvinhoyk]

In the beginning, the cheeky smile when you're mentioning having your own nursery 1:13 then to a full-on confession of your future nursery plan @26:10 while I'm staring at your finger see-through from the white variegated leaf. Is captivating like a white satin sheet. Love all your future plans and I will follow through till the end. Maybe one day, I will visit your nursery and have a coffee looking out for all your plants. Including a corner section for all your weeds intruder plants that you adore them LOL.

[@onlyplants]

Haha thank youu

[@thinhpham5070]

Thank for the video! The content I has been looking for a long time! My Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma has just variegated!

[@jennytaylia5371]

Thanks for the good info! A friend of mine bought an Albo with very little variegation and I was worried it would become a very expensive green monstera. He has it in a grow tent with artificial light. Hoping it's equivalent to your suggestion of some morning direct, but good to know there's some hope left!

[@onlyplants]

Do check the growing eye/tip for potential variegation. The previous leaf does not matter so much. 🤓

[@sheilataylor7497]

Great video Shawn. I found you a couple of days ago. I have much respect for you. You are a man of integrity. Keep working toward your goals. 👍😊

I love your channel!! You are so passionate and knowledgeable about these gorgeous plants!!! 🌱💚🌱💚

[@onlyplants]

Thank youuu ❤️

[@cherylyeo25]

GREAT video, inputs insights. thanks! Wait ... felt I need to edit / add on - I think Shaun is honest and just being decent and true to self. There'll always be haters or ppl who get plants just to be "in" ... Sometimes I too do feel as nice as the Variegated M. are, they ARE Overrated !!! Love my green monsteras; having 7 (including a very young thai constellation which prob counts as a Variegated; its soooo $$$ too!!!) Have much joy frm them. Only started having Variegated after many months of gaining knowledge / confidence - loving my V. Syngonium and V Epipremnum Pinnatum; both and other Variegated very rewarding & actually much less fussy. So once again, thanks for the tips - esp on Sellers who sell plants / cuttings with no/little ethnic - that is just soooo WRONG.
