my stepdad got me one of these as a gift because he knows i love plants but i have no idea how to take care of it so thank you so much

[@maryrippy130]

The texture of the leaves reminds me of seersucker fabric. Gorgeous.

[@venessabrown7966]

Thank You for talking about the Monstera Peru I have 3 and I've never had them before so "New Peru Mom" here...❤

[@sallyedmondson9275]

Love me a Peru ! The texture and dark green foliage is divine - like a dragons skin 😍🌱

[@GoodGrowing]

YES!! Exactly like dragon skin! what a perfect description!

[@shirleymoore3706]

I just got one! She’s in an east facing window and is sprouting two new leaves. Love her!

[@GoodGrowing]

Ah that's perfect!

[@user-mm1ot5de7r]

I always think of the leaves as corrugated. I have three and love them!

[@MH-ue8dz]

That’s the best monstera Peru on KZbin

[@hellokaroline1]

It’s one of my favorite plants. Your specimen does look very very good!

[@Faith-dk2qd]

Awesome video

[@rachaelnugent]

I've literally been checking the UK shops a couple of times a week waiting for people to get these into stock. So funky.

[@GoodGrowing]

Fingers crossed you can find one soon!

[@avasaunders9863]

I was curious about this plant. It’s so pretty. Thanks for such an informative video. 🫶

Checking in! Love Peru! 🌿🕺🏾

[@bexenstein]

The leaves remind me of bubblewrap!

[@GoodGrowing]

my bf literally just said that the other day!! They totally are like bubblewrap!

[@jaed4724]

My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE houseplant I own 🥰 I want to try and have mine bush/shrub in a large wide pot eventually. I think a Monstera Peru bush would be GORGE 💜💜💜

[@GoodGrowing]

ugh I would love a whole monstera peru bush!

[@jaed4724]

@@GoodGrowing it might take a few years but I'm up for the challenge 😈🤣 😤😏

I have one coming so I love your video. I would love to see a Adansonii Laniata video😃

Perfect timing I just got one through Walmart online I can’t wait for it to come!!! Great care video

[@mhollenbeckful]

@@RachelsIndoorGarden your channel looks awesome just subscribed

[@GoodGrowing]

Ahh amazing! I hope you're enjoying your new plant!

[@mwoods4608]

The ones from Walmart have terrible soil

[@mhollenbeckful]

@@mwoods4608 true….it was in coco coir. It didn’t mind it for a few months but it outgrew that pot really quickly and I replaced it 👍

[@Mir.cvetov.]

Good day, great review, I looked with pleasure

[@RANJITHA.PAI.]

Mine is taking ages to root! Hopefully with the change in weather it will be quick now!!

[@GoodGrowing]

Oh yeah rooting over winter will take a while for sure! Hopefully spring helps! good luck

[@hellokaroline1]

Yeah, the cuttings take forever to root. The growth is on the slow side. But it’s worth ist.

[@WoodlandT]

I had mine in water, during the summer, for 4 months & got zero root growth. I moved them into a perlite prop box & within 2 weeks there were enough roots to pot it up. Once it established in the pot, growth has been dependable at a moderate rate. Mine was prone to sending out long runners. I’m still not certain why. But I suspect it was getting too much light & was trying to “escape” with its runners. I say this because it looked chlorotic all over. I reduced the light & it’s very dark green now & hasn’t sent out as many long runners

[@amyschulze24]

Thanks for the info!

[@silviasena2303]

Such beauty😊

[@chattykatty683]

It’s one of my favourites , it’s very difficult to buy here in Australia

[@amandanguyennn]

Hi!! I just got my first monstera peru yesterday and your video is so helpful! I couldn't help but notice some white specs on your leaves (at 0:44) and i also notice that my plants have them too! I was wondering if thats normal/ pests/ just dust?I

[@elliewitham4757]

You should keep the bottom trailing and have the top climb!!! That'd look sick.

[@GoodGrowing]

Oooooh like a planty mullet! Business in the back, party in the front!

[@rumahdaisy]

I love your vidio 🥰🥰

[@feliceb9356]

Mine put out crazy runners with no leaves over the winter. Will these ever grow leaves or should I just use the nodes to propagate?

[@leaflovelaughwmissy2334]

It’s a beautiful plant, Emma! Thanks for sharing yours with such great tips. I 💚 that it is unique, special, and “rare” but don’t cost an arm and a leg. I wonder how this plant will do in LECA.

[@earisu]

I found one last year in Sainsburys but it died a death because it was completely overwatered by them and I couldn't save it. I have a one leaf cutting from it with very little stem doing nothing. I'm hoping it will do something soon.

[@GoodGrowing]

Oh yeah supermarkets are notorious for overwatering! Good that you could save a cutting though! Hopefully you can get it to grow

[@earisu]

@@GoodGrowing Just an update that it's pushing out a new growth point now. :) I put it under a grow light and it seemed to help since we've been having pretty bad weather recently

[@GoodGrowing]

@@earisu Ahh amazing! I hope the weather picks up soon!

[@karishmahyder]

I find the leaves of bleeding heart similar visually somehow

[@EmsPlantPlaceEmmaLeeFreistadt]

I love them so much! I got one last summer and it has slowly yellowed its leaves and dropped them. I think I’ll try to give it less light as it dose get a bit of direct sun right now. Has yours ever yellowed?

[@GoodGrowing]

I've personally only noticed yellowing when I don't water consistently... but mines not in a very bright spot

[@bernadettelopez7225]

mine kept growing new leaves but all bottom leaves kept turning yellow. It’s really weird, i had to reroot it again even if the roots were not even rotten

[@1977fala]

Beautiful monstera Peru . How fast do they grow. I found 4 inch pot with 3 leaves for very, very good price but I don’t want to wait forever for the full plant. I did some research but one website said fast growing and other slow growing plant 🙄

[@GoodGrowing]

Thank you! I'd say it's a decently fast growing plant, especially if it's in the right conditions. I'd say a bit slower than pothos. I have heard getting it to root takes ages though. So if you plan on propping, it may take a while. If the small pot is a good price I'd say go for it.

[@herbieonline_]

I just got a cutting and hopefully the node roots somewhat quick lol 😂

[@packer812]

Idk about they're not being expensive. I just bought one and it cost me $30 for a tiny plant. It was standing in water when I got it. Hope it doesn't have root rot. There are some yellowish spots on a couple of leaves. Crossing my fingers it will do well for me.

[@GoodGrowing]

It probably depends where you're located. At least in the UK they're pretty available at the moment, so not that expensive. I hope yours bounces back well! I'm sure it's in better hands now!

[@user-jl9mv2yv2z]

감사합니다!!! 좋아요!!!

[@aprilgeib9253]

Love your plants.... Which plants would you say are good with low light or just grow lights. My bedroom has 2 windows but closed up for the winter. I normally keep my bedroom lights on which have grow bulbs and humidifier as well.

[@GoodGrowing]

Thanks! Low light plants are a bit of a myth. They're more so plants that will take a long time to die gracefully 😂 But if you have enough grow lights you should be fine for things like pothos, philodendron, monstera, cast iron plants, sansevierias, scindapsus, and many others. I would suggest maybe getting a couple of grow lights to put closer to the plants though as the lights might be a bit far to be much use if they're overhead metres away from the plants. Good luck!

[@muhammadnurameenbinmatyasi8773]

My new leaves are rotting. What should i do. Perhaps you can share some advices

[@GoodGrowing]

Oh no! when that has happened to me before in plants it's typically some sort of pest issue

[@crackerjack010101]

I need someone to define “dry” because dry to me is bone dry I guess. If it’s cool to the touch (indoors) that’s moisture so not dry. I waited until dry (true dry) on the surface, not even 1” much less 2” and I had dry tips or I’d have waited the 2” dry. I’m finding this plays out for most any plant I have. Mostly. Then I have random plants that if I watered that soon they’d be rotting. Maybe I just need to change up the soil mix.

[@tinyliloasis]

Love this! Had no idea Peru's were so toxic for both humans and pets! With a baby on the way I may rethink buying one! 🤭

[@GoodGrowing]

Yeah... as long as it's out of reach it shouldn't be an issue... could keep it high up?

[@99xara99]

This is funny, my plant is labelled as "Epipremnum pinnatum" but I swear it's the same plant. I'm so confused about plant names!

[@turogers13]

You said that really fast. What is the white stuff in the bottom of your pot? For fungas knats?

[@GoodGrowing]

Diatomaceous earth 😉 I’ve got a whole video about it

[@MrNice-cn4gj]

I highli recomet to let her climb. If you let her klimb you will get bigger leavs. If you let her hang she produzes moore but smaler leavs 😊

[@GoodGrowing]

Thanks! I've put her on a moss pole since this and I do think she's happier!

[@MrNice-cn4gj]

[@mwoods4608]

The ones from Costa have only pet soil..

I call it Jurassic, like dino skin

[@ddyukon6369]

Thanks for the info honey I just got a couple of leaves Thought I was going to need to water propagate but it came Ready rooted in coir. Planning to grow and to be more bushy 🪴🥰

[@bbaileesmith]

Mine has 4 leaves and a friend gave it to me. I noticed that it hasn’t turned yellow but if you hold the leaf to the light, it has yellow spots?!! What does that mean?

[@GoodGrowing]

Hmmm that sounds like some sort of pest damage to me.. have you checked it for spider mites or thrips?

[@bbaileesmith]

@@GoodGrowing yes! I just figured out that it’s leaf blight from having pests before I got it!

[@GoodGrowing]

@@bbaileesmith Oh no!! I hope it gets better soon!

[@ariruotsalainen7882]

Hi! I’ve had Peru cuttings in water for ages now, nothing happening. How long does it take to grow roots? Does it matter how deep they are in the water?

[@hellokaroline1]

Some of my Peru cuttings took months to root.

[@GoodGrowing]

Because it's been winter it's going to take much longer than it would if it were spring/summer. But you need the nodes to be in water in order for them to root

[@aprilgeib9253]

Also bathroom has no windows

[@GoodGrowing]

Unfortunately nothing will grow in no light. So I'd say fake plants?

[@amrys3027]

This plants will not like to trail at all. The leaves will be getting smaller and smaller and at one point it will only be a stem.

[@GoodGrowing]

Yeah that's what was happening to mine. I've sine put it on a moss pole and its loving it!

[@tiffanyglass1063]

Hey, is there a particular type of water that Peru Mons. Need ?

[@GoodGrowing]

I use tap water 🤷🏻‍♀ hasn't been an issue for me yet!
