Monstera Deliciosa Single Node Propagation (0-9 Months)

[@SS-sb7fk]

Can't imagine the patience you need to carry out such long term experiments. Thankyou

[@TechplantChannel]

Some is patience some is just me forgetting for a while lol! Thanks for watching!

[@MrEiht]

I know I should throw them away but two of my orchids catched crown rot. It only takes 2-3 years till they recover. But I have NO patience at all. I just get really sad when I see them suffer, know people throw them away in this condition and I got skills. And am not smart.

[@MrEiht]

@@TechplantChannel exactly that. You do your routine and suddenly time has passed and who would have guessed it: Mother nature has found yet another unreasonable way to impress us.

[@cagarden8808]

Ok, I’m going to buy a on-sided razor blade today to start my monstera propagations. Thanks for the ideas and inspiration!

[@MrEiht]

@SupplyGuy I have an Aloe. But Boylei not Aloe. It is very old and produced tons of babies. Since I have no space, I had put them EVERYWHERE. And they grow anywhere. As you mentioned, the ones with direct full sunlight behind the window show some orange, hurt leave-tips. They can adopt but slowly. E.g. if you want to grow them in a full sunlight place: Put them there in winter. Once summer comes, they know HEAT :) Not the movie, they are too young for that!

[@eh4977]

I have done this. My mother in law had 3 large monsteras, she had them for 35 years. But they got thrown outside and forgotten for a decade. No water and not a lot of sun. I found them and they looked like yours but I brought them all back to life and they're huge! I took node cuttings from all 3 and made a bunch more propagations from those. I just barely covered mine with potting soil and they rooted.

[@TechplantChannel]

Way to go! Nice work!

[@PresidentMercury]

Did you keep them in a container or simply keep the soil moist in a pot?

[@DrCarlaSeleme]

You are blessed and my inspiration. Thank you for posting and wishing you and you Monstera plants and Happy New Year.

[@R-Vin]

I just put mine just like these cuttings inside a wet paper towel and put in a zip lock without locking it; every single node grew.

[@zaarakhan9013]

How many months it took to grow? Also Does it need light?

[@katrinathatsit]

This is the best underdog comeback story of all time

[@AbelleveMe]

Found a broken off branch of monstera on the ground some almost 3 months ago. There were about 7 leaves and most of them were in bad shape, so i took them off and buried the branch in dirt. This video finally brought me the courage to dig it up and cut it up to propagate. Apparently every single node has rooted very nicely! Now i have 5 chonks to share :) hopefully i don't have to wait too long for them to shoot up leaves now that there are alr plenty of roots. Thanks Techplant

[@TechplantChannel]

Very cool, thanks for sharing

I love finding random cuttings. I found a PPP in a parking lot. It was rough, but she's beautiful now.

[@claudiodos-santos2725]

I really enjoy the "raunchy" way you mix/throw everything into the potting mix, can't help to laugh out loud 🤣🤣

Thank you for this video! I had cuttings that had been green for for over 6 months with no leaf or root growth. Within a week of using your method with spagnum moss, roots started to grow. Now two weeks later, a leaf bud is forming! Thank you so much!!!

[@OddSocksQueen]

First plant youtuber that’s actually explained what nodes are so I know what to look out for. My monstera a a cutting from a plant at work that’s old enough to flower/fruit. Someone made the cutting and then quit and it was going to be thrown away so I asked if I could have it. Couldn’t bare to see it get thrown out. No idea what I’m doing with it though and having to learn fast 😅

[@kathleen8104]

@@OddSocksQueen I see this was 7 months ago but I still hope you get this. I put mine in a produce clear plastic container in a some damp spagnom moss and a grow light. It has only been a month all 4 of them have leaves and are getting nice roots, I know this will work.

[@Asiel66]

Can't express how much i love this video! Super informative, not too short not too long, really enjoyable! 💖

[@Lokoroko26]

I've been loving these monstera propagating videos and I'm absolutely fascinated. But it also made me realize that this means these guys must get absolutely invasive in their natural habitats. Twisting and vining everywhere, cuttings that break off and fall grow into a huge new plant.

[@MD-hm3ic]

You explain thing so to the point Lee. Your' amazing. I learned more in one of your shows than what I learned in 5 others combined. The nice thing is that you have vast knowledge, and keep the ego out of the equation. So many plant people out there are all about VANITY, it is them, and them, and then some about a plant. Keep the good work going. You are a professional! Cheers from Victoria, BC. Canada. Yes, we do love plants!!!

[@darcyty090]

Great and inspiring video! Abundant in much needed info. In fact, I am currently on day 7, reviving an adansonii, in similar condition. I got encouraged from your "Does node size matter..." vid. I followed every tip, specially about the blade, and they are doing fantastic so far. Only different with mine is that I used paper towels for the really tiny one node, and pumice for those with internodes to spare. Also am situated in the Philippines, so I guess the natural high humidity helped a lot. Another thing may I add, I noticed that near each node (even the nearest to the roots), a small baby plant(triaglular-shaped bump) is present. I made sure that that area is facing upward and not facing down buried in pumice. Thank's again and good luck to your future experiments.

[@TechplantChannel]

Sounds like you are doing a perfect job! I like that you are testing out papertowel too! I'll have to try that! Great job and thanks for taking the time to tell me.

[@darcyty090]

@@TechplantChannel I noticed that wet wipes retains and release moisture very slowly, and rots(mold, mildew, fungus, algae) less. That gave me the idea to try paper towels inside a closed.container.👍

This video came to me at the perfect time, I just ordered varigated monstera roots offline, and I wasnt sure how to propagate them (they were 5 roots for 7 dollars, which is much better than the $100+ plants they were asking for). This was very informative, and I'll be propagating them in perlite

Roots don't grow?... so do you mean stems? With nodes?

Random advice... Purchase sterile single use scalpels online they'll be equally as sharp and you'll have better control and safety :) If you need a wider razor and that's why you're using that one you can get an old school solid metal straight razor and strop and boil between cuttings for sterility. Awesome video!

Great video - one thing i dont understand is what is the value of a clean cut? I get that the razorblade does a great job at creating a clean lasting cut but why do we value this?

[@jmctavishiii]

It decreases surface area, allowing it to heal faster and preventing disease spread. Imagine if you cut your hand with a very clean, surgical cut. Then imagine if you shredded and crushed your flesh while cutting with a dull pair of scissors. Which would heal faster?

[@charitykelley4959]

@@jmctavishiiiI’ve heard they actually tear the uterus during a c-section instead of a clean cut for purposes of how it will rejoin and heal back together- so I guess it depends lol 😅

I keep it all between moist and wet. If you want a more accurate description I have a video where I make sphagnum wet on a scale so you can repeat it at home and get a feel for it. It stays wet for a pretty long time in thr bin. Once I pot them up I just let the soil get dry then water again

I didn’t see how much of any water you added to your mediums? Do you leave the stuff stuck to the roots on when you replant them? I guess if they’re grown around it you’d have to?

I pull as much of it off as I can, if you get it wet it comes off pretty easily. I get the substrate wet but not water logged and male sure there isn't water pooling on thr bottom of thr bin. I have a video that shows with a food scale exactly how wet I get sphagnum moss

I have a very sad but formerly very LARGE Monstera with only one mostly green leaf that I repotted, but it has just been wilting. I am so emotionally attached to this plant and you gave me hope and proof that it can be saved, so thank you 😭 I’m sad it basically has to start over when this thing, when I got it, was 4 feet tall with leaves with double fenestrations, and it’s gonna be years until it can get back to that point, but I hope I can maintain care of it for that long because it will be so rewarding to see it grow 🥹 I have severe ADHD and depression which led to neglect, but the plant never gave up on me, so I’m not giving up on it. It was attempting to put out new leaves the whole year that I’ve had it (and mistreated it) and I’m just so happy it gets another chance.
