Monstera Thai Constellation UPDATE!!! Saving it from root rot // Transferring from water to soil

[@moritz_k]

THANK YOU! I just discovered the root rot in my Monstera Thai 2 days ago and watched your videos last night and I did EXACTLY what you did in your initial video. I had a heart attack when I saw all the rot and it was painful to cut 90% of the roots. Fortunately mine did not advance to the stem and I caught it as soon as a slight yellowing showed up, but seeing these results you are giving me TONS of hope! THANK YOU for sharing such detailed experience and with so much honesty! Hard to find "real" people's experiences with their plants as many only show their "success" and how "easy" it is to care for them. We need more people like you that shows that the struggle IS REAL :) - Greetings from Germany!

Just quick consultation if I may. Have you encountered some info on rooting it in water vs. sphagnum moss? After cleaning the roots and putting rooting hormone, I put it in moss instead of water, just 'cause I am so afraid the rot will come back if submerged in water 😬

[@plantheartbeats]

@@moritz_k Hey! So happy my video and experience has given you hope! Seams like you detected it early so that’s a big plus!!! I have not yet tried sphagnum moss on my Monstera’s only on propagating string of hearts. I was also debating wether to put it in water or sphagnum because of the same reason you mentioned, thinking it could rot in water because it’s water! Buy a good friend reminded me that water is made of hydrogen and OXYGEN so that protects it. Of course, there is still some cases where there has been root rot in water propagations and even sphagnum...why? 🤷🏻‍♀️ That’s what makes is so nerve racking. I chose water also because my plant was already so dehydrated and I wanted to drink up before all the leaves were fried...I also enjoyed being able to watch closely the roots to monitor any future root rot or root growth. So that was my rationale! This definitely is a learning game! Best wishes!🌱🪴💚

Many thanks for the update on this plant. Your tips and thought processing for this repotting is greatly appreciated. I learn so much through other peoples’ experiences.

Love your Video! I sympathize with you on your first video. It'll indeed breaks your heart seeing it deteriorating day by day. But I admire your sincerity and determination. That's why she came back to life. Congrats & Cheers!!!

[@MarieM-PinkArt]

Im happy to see this, gives me hope 😊 mine was amazing looking I had it in pond then I thought to repot in a larger pot ( was too big 😢) but I did a mix similar to yours… and it stayed wet and got root rot.. now I cleaned it up and put in water and was wondering if it was ok 😅 so thanks for the video 😊

[@adityahermawan6926]

My monstera thai is same like you it is just like wither on the leaves,, but i did not check the root from the beginning i bought my monthai,, i wish i got lucky like yours to save mine , thank you so much for the video that make feel hearbreaking and so happyly in the enddd thank you so much

[@ravenchick2]

That’s such a beautiful plant 🪴! So so happy you didn’t lose it!!! Congrats on your new Etsy shop!!! 🎉

[@plantheartbeats]

Thanks!!!💚🌱😄

[@lisagrais]

Looks really good!!

[@sharonbrown5238]

So happy you saved your plant it would have been heartbreaking for you to loose it.

[@plantheartbeats]

Thank you!!! 💚💚💚

[@pauln.5505]

Thanks for the update! I think you have a great plan for that plant. I love the soil and starting out with the smaller terracotta pot. One suggestion, I would pull it up in a month or so to see how root bound it is. With it being so healthy and that many roots it's probably going to explode in growth. I wouldn't be afraid to bump it up to the next size pot... I look forward to seeing it grow into a mature plant on your channel!

[@plantheartbeats]

Thanks! Good idea to pull it out and check roots in a month...I will keep posting updates! Probably more often on my Instagram: PlantHeartBeats 👍🌱

[@pamela7595]

Happy it bounced back 👍

[@marthamiriam8983]

My God what a difference! It has even given you new leaves!! That is awesome. Now that you transferred it to soil I am curious how the plant will take to that change... I will be here waiting for updates on that beauty💚. (and by the way nice hair)

[@plantheartbeats]

Thanks! Looking forward to hopefully another positive update! And thanks for the hair compliment!☺️😃

Thanks!!

Beautiful plant.

[@evicaf4e]

Yeeyy, so happy for you! Me and my Thai Constellation are still fighting, but at least the new leaf is popping out.🌿

[@plantheartbeats]

Wow! A new leaf is a great sign! 👍 We understand each other! Best wishes!🌱🪴

[@evicaf4e]

@@plantheartbeats Thank you! Now that the neaw leaf is sticking out more, I saw that it is rotted on some parts (I think that is because I notice the problem too late), but I thing the leaf after that it will be fine. Yesterday I also noticed, tha it has at least 3 axillary buds (growth points). I can not tell you, how excited I was. It has a potential to grow into a beautiful bushy plant, I just need to save those damn roots. 🤧😁

[@mariarios3679]

Thank you Diana that is gonna help me a lot I’m sooo scare to tranfer to soil my monstera albo 🪴

[@miriamolino1511]

I wish I can also find that plant in our place.

[@SANDRATHEGREATONE]

I thought you had to keep it more on the moist side because it rooted in water . So instead of letting it dry out keeping it more moist so you can transition it slower. Please do more research you did such a great job so far. Good luck.

[@plantheartbeats]

Thanks for tips! I had heard something like that! Good reminder! I am going to keep it moist for the first 2 weeks and not let it dry up. 👍🌱💚

[@marymiller5824]

@@plantheartbeats I too heard if you’ve had a plant in water for a bit it should stay on the moist side as you pot it in soil,because they are water roots and slowly taper off. I agree, you’ve done an amazing job saving this beauty….. I found a Monstera Aurea Variegata inside a large monster at a nursery about a month ago! I’ve been subbed to you for about a year now anyways, but this content was just perfect for me! I am still in shock about my find! Seriously so excited! Your plants are all beautiful! Good luck with her! She’s beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

[@lgarden7086]

I thought it was best to keep moist for a couple weeks so it transitions from water to the soil. Loved the plant and the pot you put it in...if the pot is new I might soak it in water before using it so it doesn’t draw too much moisture from the soil. I liked your tip about keeping the roots out of the light. I have a monstera rooting in water and i am adding soil to the water before I pot it up in soil so I guess the roots are now out of light. 👍I love trying new things; I saw this method on another channel 🤞Good luck with you plant it’s beautiful!

[@plantheartbeats]

Thanks for the tips! I think I am going to put a moisture meter in there and water it before it hits dry...makes sense! Hope yours transitions with great success!💚👍

[@shanaloveslife9638]

How is it doing in the soil? Any updates? Thank you for such an informative video. I just noticed root rot in my juvenile Thai constellation. Ugh! But this video gives me hope

[@plantheartbeats]

Hi! There is hope!!! Mine is doing Great in soil now in the terracotta pot! No more root rot!😀😅

[@shanaloveslife9638]

[@tonjeholtsvendsrud6641]

wow congratz on this amazing job! You really saved it from death

[@plantheartbeats]

Thanks!💚🌱

[@GloriaW888]

4:26. You added rooting hormone to the plant roots 😊

[@plantheartbeats]

I actually ended up washing it off the rooting hormone and then placed it back in clean water..seams like it won’t stay on it anyways if you put it on and then place in water. A friend suggested I wash it off to try to make sure the water was as clean as possible. Any ways, it rooted very good!💚

[@danielnucefora8111]

When you transfer from water to soil do you keep the soil moist for a few week?

[@plantheartbeats]

Yes I did. Not wet but moist.

[@Ammida]

this is helpful

[@plantheartbeats]

It’s doing good! It’s in soil and seams happy! Waiting for a new leaf to prove it’s super happy!!!
