Monstera Thai constellation repot and care tips

[@PlantswithKrystal]

More care info here ⬇️: 🍂Soil mix: 25% indoor potting soil- whatever is accessible to you! 25 % coco chips- it comes in a brick when you buy it. Then you saturate it and break it down 15 %orchid bark 15 % perlite 💦When to water: when the soil is almost completely dry (about 80 percent of the way). Light ☀️: Grow light: 10-12 hours a days or I keep mine a foot away from a south facing down that gets a couple hours of direct sunlight (about 1,000 foot candles if measuring with a light meter). Humidity: if your ambient humidity stays at 30-55 percent humidity that is more than fine. If you notice crisp on the ends, consider having it near a humidifier. Support: to encourage those fenestrated leaves, along with light, a support pole is important to strengthen the stems. I could add it now but I’ll waiting until it grows a little more. My favorite supports are bamboo stakes, wood stakes, or a trellis. If you found this helpful, consider following along for more plant care and plant projects. Leave any questions down below!

THEY HAVE EM AT MY LOCAL WALMART IN WI FOR 40$ AND THEY ARE EVEN BIGGER! I saw a pic on a plant swap group and I WANNA GO SOOOO BADDDD but I don’t have a driver’s listens so I gotta wait for my mum

[@nancynegrete7552]

After you sprayed with hydrogen peroxide, did you rinse with water or just let the peroxide air dry?

[@kalulupanda]

Do you dilute the peroxide?

[@pieola]

You are sooo amazing. I was going to ask more info. And it was already here. You are tooo good to us 🩷🩷🩷🩷

what grow light do you recommend?

I ran to my local Walmart at 6 am yesterday for a $40 Thai Constellation 🏃‍♀️ they were sold out by 10 am

[@JessicaSugarTankLarson]

Mine in Kenosha wi sold out in an hour. I was so lucky some one messaged me right away when they heard. It was a mad house

[@Tauchp]

No wonder I never find any lol

[@ic3f4iry]

Can I just order one for that price ?

[@jessicacalderon-rico89]

Is this a thing? Walmart selling Thais? When? Where?! I want one 😂

[@MsKylea]

They are $10.00 at my Walmart😍😍

[@debbiethomas3687]

I don't have a Thai Constellation, but I did get a lovely young variegated Monstera on eBay for a very good price because it didn't have much variegation... I cut it back because it was a bit weak (thanks to your videos) and now have three of them - all beautifully variegated.

[@Me-zt6lz]

My mom passed away last month and she loved plants. Your videos are helping me to keep her love of plants going and keeping the ones that survived alive. Thank you kindly ♥️

[@beverlyhickman670]

So sorry for your loss.

I'm here for the same reason, but mine passed almost a year ago. It gets easier, but it's still hard.

[@tchuck3561]

Girl! My daughter works at the top nursery in our town!! She gave me one for my birthday!❤❤❤❤❤

[@LifeSewCrazy]

I bought one from Kroger and one from Walmart. Came home and instantly repotted. People were freaking out over it. “You have to let them acclimate to your house for at least a week!” The root damage that would have occurred in that week would have been terrible. The Kroger plant had soaking wet soil that you could have made mud balls with it was so heavy.

[@jessicacalderon-rico89]

Where do you live? I want to find one 😭

[@jyvaineorchids2255]

Thanks for pointing the "Bad" soil that fail most of the monsteras

[@TheOnlyKontrol]

I’d like to argue it’s bad watering practices in not ideal soil that fails them 🤷‍♂️ I think you could grow it in any soil you just need to know how to water properly and most people don’t

[@beverlyhickman670]

I agree their watering practices need to change. Before I buy a plant,I am checking out how wet the soil is.

[@dieshajackson332]

I wish we had a Krogers. 30 bucks is a bargain.

[@SockMan-vt1gc]

I heard Walmart also has some! Tho I got mine from krogers. You could check any local grocery stores that sell plants to see if they have any.

[@willbertot82]

Here they are called Kingsoopers. They are also known as...( Same Company) Dillon, City Market, Frys...

[@lostineggsaisle]

They're $20 at mine

[@valariecarey2716]

I was waiting patiently for you to smell the soil hahahahaha.

[@stellagonzalez2497]

Girl , I been wanted to get me one and yesterday I went to Walmart and I found them for $10.00 😱😱😱😱😱😱 best day of my life !!! And I came here to channel to get those awesome advice and tips. Thank you !!!!!

[@Pulchritudeiseverywhere]

I'm soo jealous I was at Walmart last thursday and picked up a ring of fire and a pink princess. Yesterday I was on a local FB plant group in my area and people were posting that they found Thai's in stock at that exact store I had been to. Unfortunately they were going very fast but I'm determined and I'll be getting 2 😩☹️

[@carebear927]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!!! I just found Thai at my local Walmart on clearance for $10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Yeah, £25 plus P&P for a cutting is the cheapest I've seen. One day we'll get one, Katy. One day...

[@ItsThe0]

Omg just found you love 😂all the videos you make plant things educational and entertaining at the same time

[@mistyhoward8667]

Thank you sooo much.. I literally went out and bought 2 as well... and was wondering if I could put them together!!!

[@gizmo4774]

Love your personality. Bought my first monstera constellation. A little lost. It definitely needs repotting. Glad I found your channel.

[@ellielou52]

I have two i bought from frys. I'm stoked!

[@alliemesser7873]

I GOT ONE. Totally by accident! I always make my fiancé look at the Kroger plants with me but never buy any, there was ONE LEFT and the speed with which I snatched that thing up.

[@sweetboo1022]

I'm very very new to plants. What is so amazing with these. I keep seeing that everyone was running to get one & I wanna know why? 😊

[@fbiagentfrank]

People think they're beautiful so they were in high demand for a while causing the price to be crazy. Finally it's going down. People were paying hundreds for 1 leaf cuttings a while back.

[@fbiagentfrank]

I was never interested but maybe ill grab one if and when I see a cheap one. They're cute and I love my monsteras but I dont get the hype either.

[@FeatheredDreamStudio]

I love them because they get BIG!! I think along with that is how the leaves “split” as they mature. Google pictures 😁 I also love pretty much any plant that is variegated.

[@Ashleymalone2000]

And love your content! You couldn’t be more adorable ☺️

[@Cliffless]

Hey if anyone out there "doesnt know what to do" with their Thai Constellation, hit me up 😉

[@karithompson3180]

Ummm,I would like more info on where you got them!😂 I grabbed 2 alocasias that were pretty good size for 10 a piece!!❤

[@Tota11aynotm3]

Watching your videos makes me realize that I have been miss planting all my plants… (I have way over 30 plants)

[@793lefty]

I've been stalking all my local stores with plant sections til I found them last week! Perfect timing for my repot since I was waiting for them to adjust a little more to my environment. ❤

[@jessicacalderon-rico89]

Where did you hit the jackpot?!

[@twitchy_bird]

I'm glad you did a general video, I'm working on saving an Alocasia my mom bought and have no clue qhat kind it is yet. I'm getting differing answers from online searchs lol.

[@beverlyhickman670]

Love love listening to your channel. You learn so much. Thank you.

[@VIRIDIANAMORENO-uf4zr]

But how do you know about the sales beforehand? Some tell me please 😮

[@FeatheredDreamStudio]

Plant groups on fb 😉. One person finds them and posts where they are.

[@demonvampirephoenix]

Krystal makes the care sound so easy but other KZbinrs have trouble with rot 😟 I really want one but worry it’ll die on me

[@aimeeelliott7608]

I'm going to take the plunge but buy orchid potting mix to put them in. Then I'll pray everyday for them.

[@jakedobbs9962]

Same… couldn’t believe I went to Kroger and they had me for $30 and Florida ghost philodendrons for $30… I got 2 of each. My local nursery has the Thai constellations for $120. And the roots on the ones I got from Kroger were huge already and coming out the bottom of the cup… super happy and excited.

[@tilakgadkari2202]

Fabulous Lovly 👌🏻🥰

[@IWH559]

Not even just these specific plants. When I was younger I wondered why most every store bought plant I purchased would die. Finally realized it was root rot from them being overwatered in the store.

[@user-tz2sr2gc3w]

Love yr endless chatter and madness

[@windsfriend]

Everyone's excited about the repoting, and all I could do was jelously stare at your wonderful Lego collection 😂

[@spiderman-jn7ul]

I found a tropical plant soil mix for mine. I hope that this soil is going to be ok. I got mine in Colorado at City Market for 30.

[@rosamariamendoza1466]

Needed to see this! Gracias, amiga😊

[@PlantswithKrystal]

You're so welcome! Happy to help!

[@FeatheredDreamStudio]

When they hit IN I went to 3 different places. 4th stop and they had just a few left. I got 5. One for a friend that had been looking and the rest for me. I've been wanting SO LONG to be able to afford these I got extra in case any didn't make it. Waited a week to water and then gave a small amount. I've only watered like twice and so far so good and new leaves!! 🙏🙏🙏 they continue to do well!!

[@PlantswithKrystal]

Yay!!! I’m glad you scored one too! That was some dedication to finding it!

[@kaitlynr9271]

FYI y’all if you get plants at the grocery store, versus a plant shop, be mindful that they can accumulate more pests from all the fruit/veg that they may be transported with. I got mites on two plants that spread to my others bc I got a plant at the grocery store. Just something to keep in mind! Give any new plant a good wash down and check for pests on the stems/back of the leaves before placing them with your other plants.

[@mystim9610]

Great find!!

[@juliac.3400]

Thank you and I am loving your monstera and that pot 💚🌿🌱🤩

[@sammygirl6910]

What grocery store???

[@PlantswithKrystal]

Kroger/payless

I went to 6 grocery stores this morning trying to find them, but they haven’t been spotted in our stores yet 😢

[@rubyfazil9136]

I wish I had a best friend like you 😂❤

[@juliamorales7023]

What store did you get them from?

[@ashleyerwin3566]

I have learned the cover pot always causes the soil to stay wet for way too long for sensitive plants like the thai

[@aziled8106]

I want to know more about your birds of paradise ❤❤❤

[@samtmh7240]

Yesss! Haven't repotted mine yet, but will probably do so today based on what you saw with the soil and roots. Question - What's your plans for the white pots? Personally, I'm thinking I'll drill some holes and put some chocolate mint in them. I like using solid white pots for herbs.

[@dishomevideos1433]

You're the cutest 💕

[@1JBunny]

My Kroger had one of these left when I was there and it only had 2 tiny baby leaves and one baby-ish leaf. 2 leaves including the newest growth were completely broken off and gone. I asked for a discount and the lady marked it down to $14.99. 🥰 I like your idea of potting up 2 of them together, would you separate them LATER later when they’re big or leave them together?

[@haelrc8415]

I really want to try raising a gorgeous variegated monstera but ive never had a monstera before. Is it better to start with a cheap regular one to learn how to look after it or should i splurge?

Why don’t you re-pot when you first get from the store? Iron store is known for keeping plants with overgrown roots that you have to break up so they don’t die on you quickly? Or am I just thinking of a lot of herbs that they do that with? ❤

[@Munz_is_at_your_house]

That anthurium pallidforium? Plant in the back looks awesome!

[@KristiStClair64]

I snagged a 56 dollar Thai constellation for 52 dollars at a local nursery when they were doing a deal where if you bought a pot with it, you got 25 percent off your purchase. 😅 had to get it a little froggy friend too. Hehe. It was so.hard putting back the string of frogs and variagated string of hearts though 😭

[@rocacoshi]

Oh I see these growing as weed everywhere around where I live, like every other single type of monsterax that’s the tropics for ya!

[@FeatheredDreamStudio]

Isn’t it kinda funny how that happens? Maybe it is just the idea of having something “exotic” to your home area?

[@lammcmahan]

I just received one and I am wondering, are they too small to split up/propagate? I see you only replant it.. would you wait until it’s much larger and they have separate nodes in order to split them ?

[@Joshandcritters812]

Not related but I got a new white bird of paradise plant

[@PlantswithKrystal]

Yay! Congratulations! That’s so exciting!

[@Joshandcritters812]

Yeah it grew a new leaf after I got it

[@ruthbriggs5372]

I bought one of these a couple of months ago for £12 (about$15) and it was much bigger than those! Is that a normal price for plants over there? seems like an expensive Hobby, especially as you can get obsessed 😂

[@ratchschleuczynski9821]

Just ordered some. On sale for $25, plus 10% off.

[@DemonAngelMyxx]

$30?! The lowest price we have here for a Thai Con that size is closer to $80.

[@Cheif_Runs_with_scissors]

Same!!! $60 for a single leaf here in nz

[@konstantinakostopoulou913]

Heyyy ❤ so if we get a plant from a big store and the soil looks really compact and hydrophobic should we repot them immediately? I actually have a few plants that are in bad soil and I let them acclimate

[@nope7560]

We are besties in my head. 😅🫶🏻

[@kourykouture]

Do u recommend terracotta pots or plastic?

[@nolaray1062]

I personally like to use terracotta for Airoids but the advantage of clear plastic is you can see the roots and tell if they are healthy.

[@nananafnaf7514]

I love your shape❤

[@eclecticwitchraven626]

I had a bigger monstera that I tried to propagate by cutting below the node and putting it in the soil and the leaves are starting to die and i dont know what to do. Should I place all the cuts in water again ?

[@MakaykayLAMB]

Is it JUST peroxide? Or peroxide and water on the roots? I know what you said but I just need to be sure. lol.

[@alexanderboyer7720]

Do you have to buy 3%… or is there a way to mix it with water or something…?

[@hilaryjlittle]

It’s funny they call them fenestrated leaves because one of our circulatory system’s capillaries is termed fenestrated due to its ability to pass molecules larger than just co2 or oxygen

[@Ashleymalone2000]

Where do you find the large clear pots? I’ve only seen them on Amazon.

[@nicolechandler1422]

❤ do you do any plants in leca or pon?

[@anogaft1543]

How do you find non hydrophobic soil? Because every soil I seem to get dosen't want to soke any water up

[@nolaray1062]

If it isn’t watered often enough that can happen sadly. Have you tried poking holes in it with a fork or chopsticks? That can sometimes help to get some water soaking.
