[@tinabratland4027]

The theme of this video is Obliqua, I did it my way. I ignored every bit of advice and as usual and it’s a dreamy bush 3 months later.😆

[@kevin.]

Hahahaha I like breaking the rules and doing things my way 😂💚 but yes she's beautiful

[@chrysteldespain143]

What is your way? What did you do???

[@samspantsandplants]

That Wild Fern shout-out at the end was so stinking sweet 🥰 Gosh, I love the plant community!

[@kevin.]

That's my GURL! Love her 💚

[@wildfern]

Omg *screams* thanks for wearing my merch and being the sweetest ever always!!! 🤩

[@marekkaminski6872]

Hi Kevin :) I think you shouldn't cut the runner yet. The best way is air-layering each node in sphagnum to root them, and when it will grow a lot of rooted nodes cut it into single node cuttings and they will grow new grothpoints 100x faster. i bought a unrooted node 4 months ago and it is not growing for me, so i bought a rooted cutting with small leaf and she is currently pushing out the first leaf in my care in leca ^^ I cant wait to see it grow.

[@femmebitale]

For whatever it's worth, my growing tips: keep it in lower light (I struggle with this too) until you get it on a pole because it'll throw out runners to find shade, add regular water to your nutrient solution when it runs too acidic as most tap water is a 7 or even more basic, retest pH as needed. Also, when you get it on the pole, make sure the aerial roots are right up against the pole so it "senses" it. I think I've shown you, but I have literally started to use scotch tape on my monsteras because sometimes they need the extra help to "sense" the wood planks I use.

[@Greenplantguide]

Thanks for great tips✌👌💚💚💚

[@Brian-qn2mx]

I do see any roots on the steam yet can I still put it on the pole

[@CeCee-no8bg]

Oh, my gosh!! This is my favorite plant journey with you. It was facinating to watch/hear about all the data you collected on nurturing the Obliqua 'Peru'. For what it's worth I would like to see it on a plank. It would be interesting to see how large those leaves could grow in your care, Kevin. Thanks again for sharing this!☺

[@Dee97]

AHHHHHHH as a canadian that wildfern shout out made me so happy! great video dude!

[@SirPlantsaLot]

Omg this video had me SWEATING! Glad it turned out well, the plant looks gorg 😩💕

[@karenmackie6591]

I bought one a few months back and just sat in on my kitchen window. It's growing like wildfire. I had to repot yesterday and didn't think I had to do anything special. Hope I haven't killed her.

[@sherryporsch9349]

This is right on time! Kevin!! I’m so excited, just got a node an two years ago I didn’t think I’d ever have the Oblique. Fingers crossed an wish me luck. 💚🥰 Love the shirt.

[@NaTyra6411]

I truly enjoy all of your content. You're definitely in my top 3 favorite plant KZbin'ers, and these are my favorite types of your videos! Fern is right up there too, lol. The updates, total care, changes you've made, even the seasons you are working in at the time. All this is everything you could ask for in a care video. And your excitement matches mine which is awesome to see! I feel like we're doing this together, lol. My obliqua is coming in the mail and you've taken all the fear out and left only the excitement 😁 Thanks so much Kevin and keep up the awesome work! It's truly appreciated. Happy planting 🌺

[@a.c.h.camangon]

We're here early! Haha :)) glad I get to watch your vid this week again, Kevin!

[@kevin.]

Aw thanks 💚😊

[@MariaRomero-jt8xm]

this plant is gorgeous! who would have thought it would gro like this outside of a cabinet!! awesome video kevin so much info to unpack here! thank you mine arrives next week and i can’t wait! I say cut the runner and propagate it in a bag with moss ✂️

[@lisaanglim9588]

It’s beautiful. I’m even considering putting it on my wish list.

[@wh0sthatgirl]

Wow it looks really happy in leca! Congrats on your success with your new plant baby :)

[@thatplantguy93]

I LOVE your videos! I personally think obliqua’s run because they aren’t attached to a moss pole or some other form of support. I’ve had one about as long as you have. I secured it to a stick immediately after I potted it and it’s put out FIVE leaves, each bigger than the previous, and it hasn’t run (yet). I keep it on my orchid shelves with all my other aeroids (directly under full spectrum LEDs) and it’s doing amazing!

[@kevin.]

Oh good to know! Thank you for this. Think I might still chop it 😂

[@thatplantguy93]

@@kevin. now that the leading growth point is a runner, you’ll have to chop it to activate a lower growth point. I wonder tho if you could get a moss pole in there and wrap the runner around it to see if it will root and produce another plant 🤔

[@natashaoreilly7072]

I just bought an obliqua yesterday!! Perfect timing for you video, haha thanks Kevin 💚 Good to see that she isn’t as fussy as they make her out to be 🥵 I have an import leaf with a tiny root so I will have her in a box until she roots up more and I’ll switch her to pon and transition her out of the box 🤓 I appreciate the info!

[@MsNipri]

New subscriber! This Plant is on my Wish List! Thank y9u for sharing! Love the video! ❤️

[@jaigalarza4950]

very nice and informative video!!😍

[@kevin.]

Aw thanks 😊

[@99prozentQT]

Thank you so mutch for this video! I have an obliqua peru and did not do the research 😅🙈 and it was shooting out these vines and no leaves! Couldn't find the problem and people on forums said more light/water 😂 so safe to say that didnt work at all! Now i decided to dig a little harder and found your video! I now put it in a place with lower light and hope it will safe the plant! Also don't cut the vine before they have good roots because it will do nothing when you try to propagate! :(

[@bethanynapier9407]

I would love a video on propping obliqua runners!!! Just got my first nodes a week ago and I'd love to hear tips!

[@Greenplantguide]

Monstera is a lovely and easy care plant, thanks for sharing💚💚💚👌✌✌

[@kevin.]

Oh yay thanks 💚

[@tracyjohnson3596]

Great video my favourite plant person along with fern and claire and emma 🤣🤣🤣

[@tinamajors9786]

Bravo Kevin! Keep teaching us please. I prefer my plants on a grow pole.

[@thenapalmgiraffe]

Kevin, I literally feel the same way with my Agleonema Pictum Tricolor. I haven't done anything special humidity wise, and its been pushing out a leaf for me consistently every month since getting it. I had to say goodbye to the original 2 due to shipping stress and winter, but I have 6 leaves with a 7th on the way, and the only recent damage was due to me having it on a shelf under a glass mason jar that had some cuttings in it and the sun MAGNIFIED using it and faded a perfect eclipse into one leaf, so I had to trim that part of the leaf with scissors... but long story short, I agree- experiment, experiment, experiment!

[@adriennedahlstrom8647]

I've been so nervous to invest in an obliqua but, after seeing your video, I'm going to more actively pursue it! I have a cabinet but haven't altered it too much and most of my small hoya are in there. Other than that, my plants grow just in my house or my classroom. My classroom may be the swankiest jungle this year!! Thanks for the tips, specifics and advice!! Now, I've got to finally click buy on that Wild Fern merch!! Those friggin designs are epic!

[@kevin.]

I love all of this! I'm sure your classroom looks amazing! And omg yes I love fern's merch 😭💚

[@darrellperkins716]

Thxs bruh for this video

[@leggo971]

First ever Obliqua I saw in Leca 💚💚 😍

[@kevin.]

Haha I know Kaylee Ellen has hers in them but that's about it 🤣

[@arthurzackaryabrin]

@@kevin. I mean to be fair Kaylee has most of her plants in Leca/Pon at this point haha. If I ever get an obliqua I definitely will put it in Leca or Pon, just because I have all of my monsteras in semi hydro. That, or it's gonna live in one of my many terrariums. Plant me Ashley infected me with the terrarium hype haha

[@beatrixfransiscatambunan242]

I don't know how.. but everytime you propagate any plant .. it grows so healthy.. but for real in my plants life, it doesn't go as smoothly as that.. 😂 thumbs up for your friendly hands of caring plants.. 🙌🪴❤

[@lovenothatehouseplantstrav2797]

Why its it i was waiting for the Lecca or drop lol I love it lol you helped me learn lecca along the way i love it thank you so much this is such a fun journey

[@angelinemccloud1258]

Omg I love love ur shirt, so I would love for u to share all the tubers u follow aside from fern, I love her too… thanks for the vid I got to wet sticks of the obliqua n yet to see anything happen 🧐 thanks for sharing urs it is beautiful!!!!

[@kevin.]

Haha I love Fern 🥰 thanks for watching 💚

[@plantsaplenty1374]

Wow you are a great plant daddy

[@beleafangie]

Post video comments. I counted the Leca dropped 😆 5 times. Kevin, you're like a plant voodoo.. haha.. that girl 🌿 was soo stunning 😍 i wish soon to have 1 too.. enjoy the journey💚

[@Andybiotics]

All I've been getting are runners... And I've growing it under a grow light! Maybe u should try lower light condition...

[@SizzlingiceQueen]

I so wish they sold General Hydroponics in Sg. I’ve been wanting to experiment with those ever since I started watching your videos.. It just looks like the plants just grow so big so fast.

[@alicelarez4311]

You can grow anything.It is beautiful, I hope it continues to do well,I expected lecca to fall.You need the nickname (The plant whisperer).

[@mama.donatv]

one of my fav plant

[@beleafangie]

Hi Kevin😍.. can I buy some cuttings please 🙏 lols. I'm just an hour drive. 😄. Thank you for all your planty advice.. we're all so amazed with all your collections😍

[@michellepineda775]

Hello, i love your videos! so i have a question, do you think it's okay to change a plant from aroid to leca/semi hydro if he is having new leaf (unfurling and having new auxiliary buds ) on process

[@danielterry5037]

What a great video! I remember a few years ago when the obliqua was kind of the "god plant" amongst the plant community, and we were all too scared to get one in case it didn't do well! Your experience is a reminder that plants often do better than we think! Also, I've read that plants put out runners or seek shade until they realize they're climbing - it's a way for climbing plants to find a tree (in the shade) and then once they attach, they tend to exhibit the opposite behavior and start seeking the sun, which helps them climb towards the top of the canopy. I would love to know how it fares if you gave it a pole to climb!

[@femmebitale]

yep! you're exactly right. monsteras exhibit negative phototropism until it finds something to climb, then it seeks the light.

[@kevin.]

Love all of this info thank you! 💚

[@kevin.]

thanks gurl

[@UrsulaJStLouis]

What are those balls you add to bottom of pot and top of plant? Thank you!

[@marsf4883]

The leaves are looking good. Cute t-shirt! Looks good on you. I say cut it, lol. I don’t know much about this plant, but still cut it :P.

[@aidensiessmayer5615]

most monsteras actually seek lower light because that usually means there is a tree to climb. I think this is correct, because mick mittermier said so, but idk

[@LarsLarsen77]

If you read the label on hydroguard, and compare the bacterial colony counts to other products, you quickly realize that you're basically buying just water. Check out "Tribus Original", it's got the highest bacteria concentration that I could find. Worth every penny.

[@LarsLarsen77]

And when I say just water, I mean it. One milliliter of tribus has as much bacteria as a thousand gallons of hydroguard.

[@kostal7210]

How would you trouble shoot the yellowing of the leaves, I'm dealing with 2 of my plants looking like getting chlorosis, and don't know whether to up fertilizer ratio, or cut it in half vs check ph all the time, vs mess with lighting. Do you troubleshoot one thing at a time or just throw a kitchen sink at it with all possible solutions at once and wait for a few leaves to see if it worked?

[@1977fala]

I see you changed your General hydroponic solution. I was watching one of your videos where you used 1 tsp / gallon each. Do you like this stronger mix better? I want my plants look like yours 😊

[@darrellperkins716]

Can you please do a video on lighting… I downloaded an app by the name of photone to read lighting and I’m so confuse. PAR AND PPFD IS WHAT I DONT GET. Smh. What light reader would you recommend

[@RavensWillReplaceUs]

Chop n Prop that runner!! Let the new leaf open and then chop... Maybe it will be ready on the Full Moon?

[@ashleycortes6378]

LOLOLOL those kids 🤣💚

[@ringgaoktobaralubis8693]

Wow.mantap

[@passionateplantperson]

Chop it and Prop it! Would love to see how it propagates ❤️

[@karenfreedman9180]

Cut it! Since you have been experimenting with this plant, see if you have success propagating it! Keep us updated❤️

[@beabarretto2526]

for your nutrient solution , is that what you use for all of your plants? or just for the obligua?

[@kevin.]

All my foliage plants. So I don't do this for hoyas

[@aysegulthemom]

I’m falling in love with this video 🫠

[@MariaRomero-jt8xm]

kevin i did have a question did you un potted the plant at any time to check that the roots were doing ok and removed any dead ones or did you just leave it alone once you transition?

[@siobhanahbois]

I have the same pots as him and you don't need to unpot the plant to check on the roots, as demonstrated in this video.

[@leggo971]

Yaaaay! Finally Obliqua Spotlight🤭💚 Good Evening! 💚

[@lisaanglim9588]

Hallo love all your video I just wonder where you buy the monstera Constantino? I did order from ones of the person from Facebook and I been scammed from shipping now I’m very scare to buy on line .can you please recommend where to buy I’m in Oakland CA sorry my English thank you

[@danielram4455]

What do you add for your nutrient solution ?? Do you use the same stuff from your video in leca last year ?

[@siobhanahbois]

He answered this in 24:04

[@greenlessthumb]

I know this is what you want to hear, and it's what we want, so... CHOP CHOP!!!

[@dsepisodes]

I think its putting out a runner becaues it doesnt have the support (pole) thats what i guess but shes beautifulll

[@kevin.]

Okay cute thanks! Will probably cut her though 😂

[@dsepisodes]

@@kevin. Yes ofcourse I would too! At least you have too if something happens to it 😀

[@micheleschultz7853]

Check out Mick Mitty's finally made an Obliqua video

[@snt9518]

That was 2 and a half years ago, a lot has changed with regards to "it's never obliqua" in that time. The plant in the video is clearly not an adansonii, but in fact that which is currently known as the peruvian form of obliqua.

[@lindawilliams7652]

[@yumisandiego827]

Seriously how can you make them so huge?!!!! I’m from the Philippines tropical right? They never grow like that 😢😩

[@kevin.]

Awww I think it's the nutrients I give it maybe?

[@aidensiessmayer5615]

It's giving nervous and cautious

[@micheleschultz7853]

I believe you have a monstera adansonii. Your leaves may be yellow from too much water or fertilizer. Also, that is a climbing vine that you are calling the runner of a Obliqua. You can propagate the vine if you cut between the nodes (that one is rather small). There has to be a node for the new roots to grow from.

[@Rebelluver97]

I thought that at first too but after looking at a comparison chart and the new leaves, I do think he has an obliqua

[@zonzillamagnus5902]

no that is an obliqua.

[@lisaanglim9588]

Noooo don’t cut the runner!!

[@aidensiessmayer5615]

Whats next, a pss?....... hmmm.....

[@elwood9408]

CUT IT... CUT IT... CUT IT... seriously this is the healthiest looking obliqua I've ever seen on youtube and you're definitely doing something right!! can't believe you got such growth without terrarium conditions!!

[@SimonSverige]

That looks more like an Adonsonii to me, most are.

[@masonbaby16]

This doesn’t look like an Adansonii. This is definitely an Obliqua
