Monstera Thai Constellation repot & care tips!

[@Fire-Queen]

Monsteras like being rootbound. Good that you didnt tease the roots, and mess with them, getting everything out, just repot with a bit of fresh, course, aroid potting mix and it'll continue to thrive ❤

[@jujobluecaba]

Una maravilla esa planta ❤

[@brittanydespi]

I’ve found using mycorrhizae in a powder form to help with transfer shock super easy if you ever want to find another way than the drench. Just that dark liquid over white carpet is scary lol

[@houseplusplant]

i like to live life on the edge 🤪 but yes I have some mycorrhizae i need to use!

[@Ingemarssn]

Don't breathe in the dust from the Perlite in your substrate. You can use a water hand sprayer next time to keep it down ;-)

[@randiholbrook5849]

Yes, it can be dangerous for your lungs.

[@LeafyConversations]

I agree with you on the moss pole. Do you really need a support for the Thai? It looks perfect as it is.

[@curiousearthling]

Where did you get your sweatshirt? I love it 😍😍

[@cherylegger5908]

Did I miss the link to the trellis?

[@Anna-wd8ox]

Interesting. I’ve never seen anyone put a trellis or pole on a Thai

[@lestaryplair9875]

What is the product used for root drench ?

[@Jasapan-u4s]

Great video! Thanks!

[@haleymoncsko]

What kind of medium would you suggest for an immature Thai constellation? My boyfriend got me a baby one for Christmas and I feel like I understand general care tips… but I’m super nervous because I hear everyone talking about how easily they rot 😅

[@lisabeshay5123]

I honestly kept it in what it came in from my nursery and I’m just careful not to drench it too much! I usually water all my plants when dry with a finger poke until it barely starts coming out the drainage holes. Really good to let it dry a bit between watering bc that really is the main thing for the root rot, havent had any watering issue for months!! It does stay in my tabletop greenhouse so I think it reduces the watering need a little

[@lisaanglim9588]

Is that mat a canvas with a coating or plastic ?

[@Ahlathein]

How can you tell when the Sol Soil is dry? Will a moisture meter work? Thanks!

[@LeafyConversations]

If you stick your finger in about an inch or more and it’s dry then water. I also use a moisture meter when in doubt.

[@sarahjones6844]

Sol soils can be watered more frequently because it doesn't hold water like other soils. So if you're questioning it just go ahead and water it. Frequency will depend in how thirsty the plant is of course.

[@brenfays3255]

plants by melissa has a video on sol soil plus a lot of comments agreeing with her that the soil compacts to mud at the bottom when watered, rotting the plants. she contacted sol soil who told her she overwatered and their soil should only be watered every 10 to 14 days. this isnt on any of their packaging. they have calcified clay as an ingredient which apparently compacts like this when wet and the consensus was this is causing the mud issue.

I just repotted two Thai’s, attached it to a moss pole, it’s gone brown at every point I’ve attached it. I only attached loosely with velcro tape. And now there are more brown spots over it and the new leaf 😢

[@lisaanglim9588]

Haven’t you done a root drench before?

[@-MEL16-A.O.C]

Any advice for loooong roots ??? Mines are a mess don't know if I can cut but I'm afraid of 😁🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ Please 🙏

[@houseplusplant]

you can cut the roots! if they're aerial roots (above soil) you can cut them with no issues. if you're talking about long soil roots you can cut those as well but don't cut more than 1/3

[@-MEL16-A.O.C]

@@houseplusplant they're aerial 😉 thank you so much 😁💪🙏👍

[@mommychang1121]

What soil you used?

[@Ingemarssn]

[@Jaiem_]

Argh I’m dying at how much she is breathing in!! Please wear a mask 😱

[@jamiehill3220]

Do you use distilled water when you water your plants?

[@houseplusplant]

i usually use tap! i have started using distilled for my variegated maranta though -- but that's the only special one 🤣

[@maargill9404]

Trellis link ??

[@Akimills_84]

I feel like I have seen this video before. Is this a repost or am I having dejavu?

[@Akimills_84]

Maybe I saw it on Instagram lol

[@PlantLadyEmma]

I was just thinking the same thing! Definitely a repost.

[@SlayByJay]

Thai cons are ground crawlers and don’t like/require a moss pole or trellis just FYI

[@reginadsouza4432]

U could prune the roots before repotting. It would save u time before next repotting.

[@lisaanglim9588]

Oops I’ve seen this before. Ignore my questions.

[@lisaanglim9588]

Being extra careful around something that could be messy is a sure way to spill it.

[@houseplusplant]

haha so true!!!

[@frankytjandra]

thai con is sux i dont like thai con, roots easy to grow , easiest to root rot

[@gizmo4774]

Thanks for sharing that with everyone. If you don't know what you're doing. I have 2 that are doing great. Thousands of plants out there. No one forcing you to get a Thai Con or watch this video. 😂
