Monstera 'Thai Constellation' Propagation Tips |

[@CoFFee123..]

You are the only person that talked about the auxiliary buds when chopping the MTC. So happy to have watched your video. The other KZbinrs simply chopped their MTC without warning their viewers about the auxiliary buds.

[@grassrootsgardening]

Hi there, I sure appreciate you taking the time to comment!

[@hennesseyme9112]

Many people do warn you not to cut them.

[@MsMoalli]

Cutting up a Thai constellation is not for the faint of heart. Had to do it and about had a heart attack. Great vid!

[@grassrootsgardening]

It sure aint! Thanks for the comment!!

[@hennesseyme9112]

I understand your pain. I had to cut up my plant, and was praying today the cuttings won't die. I had them soaking in water with an air stone but one of the cuttings started losing more root I had to cut off. I just found some propagation balls, filled them with pafcal, and stuck the cuttings outside to see if they will root.

Great information on propagation of Thai constellation. Thank you! I learned a lot.

[@grassrootsgardening]

So glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching

[@judydomec8126]

Thank you! I've been reluctant to do surgery on my beautiful Thai plants for fear of destroying them. Your video is greatly informative and has boosted my confidence enough to give it a go. I appreciate you. ❤

[@grassrootsgardening]

And we appreciate you! Good luck!!🍀

[@jacobwonder6735]

Thanks for adding the update at the end!

[@grassrootsgardening]

No problem!

[@AmyFoxPlants]

Great video! Would love to see an update to see how they are doing

[@grassrootsgardening]

I’ll do it soon for ya! Thanks for watching & commenting!

My husband bought me my first Thai. It was in soil. I repotted her in PAFCAL, perlite and osmocote. So far so good. She put out a new leaf and she’s starting another one too and it’s January in a very cold climate. Boy are you right about how close the nodes are! Mine is little still. No fenestrations yet. I am hoping she survives. Have heard so much about root rot, 😱 😜.

[@grassrootsgardening]

That’s awesome , good luck! 🤞 You got this!!!

[@LeafyConversations]

Thank you for this instructional video!

[@grassrootsgardening]

You are welcome!

[@WalburgisLuppus]

Your advice was invaluable as I just dared to cut the top heavy part of my huge thai constellation and I was able to find those nodes you spoke of so it was an excellent guide. Thank you and hopefully all goes well with my little darlings as they only had short arial roots that had never found anything to adhere to or grow within (soil). I used mostly moss, with a very thin layer of soil in the middle and then more moist moss on top. Hopefully that will work out well.

[@grassrootsgardening]

Glad it helped! I love comments like these, makes this whole KZbin thing worthwhile! Good Luck, sounds like you have a really good chance at success, thanks again for taking the time to write!

[@WalburgisLuppus]

​@@grassrootsgardeningthank you Sir, your comment gives me hope. I agree it's interactions such as these which give KZbin still some positive value. Thanks for sharing with us all and teaching me so well. Have a nice Friday and weekend. 🍀

Wow. Beautiful plant.

[@grassrootsgardening]

Sure will, thanks for watching!

[@antoniorsoftware]

When I put my cutting into water all the aerial roots rotted in the water after a week. I then cut the rotted parts and put the cutting in a pot with soil and it survived.

[@grassrootsgardening]

I’ve always done better in water personally.

[@giajonsson6696]

Interesting to see how you do it :) I’ve always done it the other way, as in cutting the stem before the growth point so it’s growth point and leaf instead of leaf and then growth point.

[@grassrootsgardening]

Thanks for watching!

[@ajacosta2579]

I was wondering the same thing.. he was cutting in reverse. Imma keep my fingers x. 😬🥴

[@Bappos0708]

My Thai con got given to me and had unknown root rot!! I looked this up because I’m tempted to chop since it’s drooping and the areal roots are still healthy in the soil, I’m torn because I’d hate to chop it but it’s either that or let it droop and rot, it’s in a great mix and my monstera is fine but my first Thai con. Is chopping the best bet?

[@grassrootsgardening]

I think I would if I were you

[@ap3r3z29]

Uffff that 2nd cut had me on the edge 😮

[@grassrootsgardening]

lol me too

[@FBIagent22-q1d]

I have a question! Why did you cut it while a new leaf was coming in?

[@grassrootsgardening]

Because I’m impatient….. :)

[@digitalwindowz]

Just from my experince, if those roots have taken to dirt, the plant grows best putting them right back into more dirt. I've done it both ways (water and dirt) and the Monstera i've propagated had better growth staying in the same medium. I only water prop if the roots are actually hanging in the air. Both will work, and you did a gre a t job chopping, best of luck with you new props!!

[@grassrootsgardening]

You’re not wrong here, I’m just experimenting. Thanks for watching!!

[@barbaradieckmann9020]

I hope it won’t shrivel during the process. It’s a gorgeous plant.

[@grassrootsgardening]

I’m sure it’ll get sad a little….

[@tutorigal]

hi i accidentally cut without node but roots are good. is it going to die?

[@grassrootsgardening]

without the axillary bud it cant continue growth unfortunately.....im sorry!

[@marymiller5824]

Hi Ryan, so my Aurea has stem rot. I had on moss Pole and I think that’s where I went wrong. I took it off of the moss pole and the stem that was resting on the moss pole has rot. There is a new leaf emerging from that stem and the leaf itself has rot on it. I plan on doing all the typical hydrogen peroxide treatments cutting any rot off changing soil etc. but my question is what do I do with that leave that is unfurling with rot on it? And also the node right below that leave has a little bit of rot on the tip of it as well. Can I snip that little bit of rot off of the node? Needless to say I am absolutely devastated over this! I found this plant And I made three beautiful propagations out of it and got rid of those and kept this one for myself. So this is all I have… I am so sad

How wet do you keep the moss?

[@grassrootsgardening]

We try to keep it just moist not wet

[@sherryporsch9349]

I’ve never seen a growth point under the leaf petiole that you strip away a leaf to find it. The node is below the leaf petiole, down below the stem not under the leaf stem.2 you wouldn’t suggest anyone to propagate a Thai at home?

[@grassrootsgardening]

I see axillary buds under petioles all the time!?

Hi, I’m a newby to your channel. Dont know if you’re still around and check these year old shows and blogs. Please, did you say that is a thousand dollar plant? I am speechless. Really? Why?

[@grassrootsgardening]

Well, it was due to its rarity and size. They’ve come down in price now

How are the propagations? Can we have a video update?

They’ve done pretty well. I’ll try and make a video for you real soon. Thanks for watching!!🌱

Poor thaï constellation, being chopped like that.

@@grassrootsgardening Well I had to cut it. I made a huge mistake and put my plant in one of those animated pots that has raindrops or eyes. The plant lost it's secondary roots and some of the arials were rotting. I am trying so hard to reprop.
