I was literally looking up tetrasperma care last night. This came at JUST the right time 🙏 Mine got root rot and I’m propagating and replanting pieces to save it!

[@GoodandPlanty]

so common with these plants! sounds like you're handling it perfectly 🙌

[@MM-ze5tp]

@@GoodandPlanty thank you!! 😊🙏

[@sterreiwema6631]

I literally thought I didn’t have this plant, so I was doubting to watch until later. But then I started doing plant chores, and I realized I have a cutting... I think I’m getting close to ‘too many plants’😅😅😅

[@sherrykumar2883]

Great care video! You covered every base 👍 My Rhaphidophora tetrasperma had root rot several months ago so I chopped her up to propagate her and about three quarters of them failed 😞. Maybe it was just my particular specimen because I’ve never had propagations fail like that before. I too use Liquidirt and I love it. I replaced fish emulsion with it because the emulsion smell was driving my dogs nuts 🤪 I use it with every watering all year round and my collection seems pretty happy with it. Thank you for another informative video. Your charming manner and wealth of plant knowledge has easily made you one of my favorite plant tubers 💚

[@GoodandPlanty]

root rot with these plants is sooo common! even in this comment section! it's good to know you use liquidirt year round with no problems. i feel better about doing the same. thanks so much for watching ☺️

[@naisinova]

I just picked one up from Lowe's for $13!! Its about your size with a bit bigger leaves. This was my first time going to a Lowes ever and was amazed by their plant selection!! First time seeing a mostera at a store too!! Love your videos

[@alison3623]

I just got one of these! It's so cute. Thanks for explaining the tissue culture thing. I've been confused about that ha 😅

[@GoodandPlanty]

it's such a cute plant! i love that the leaves come in kind of small but then they mature into beautiful, big leaves 🤩

[@erinsaunders898]

Thank you SO much for explaining the tissue culture! I have been trying for so long to figure out why mine looks so different from the rhaphidophora tetrasperma that I was hoping for. Love the detailed explanation that you give here 😊

[@something.about.plants2495]

Yayyy I just got one a few weeks ago from a big box store....replaced the soil and cleansed the roots with peroxide just to be safe. It was reallll sad for a while but it is bouncing back now! Thanks for the tips on this plant!

[@GoodandPlanty]

very smart to do that! big box store plants always come with surprises 😭

I thought I had a regular monstera that was really tiny but it just gave me a mature leaf and it turns out it’s a Tertasperma. I’m so happy!

[@jordanvelardo7187]

Omg I got one of these in April for $8 at my local nursery with no clue what it was, it broke recently so I’ve been doing research on propagation and I’m so excited to propagate it!! I’m so happy I found your video, thank you!! 💕

[@jamluxx]

Bought 2 cuttings a couple days ago and I’ve been trying to figure out what to propagate them in... have them in perlite and water but I think I’m gonna transfer them to sphagnum 😬

[@juliannajenkins61]

The way you said “My plant craving has been itched”, THAT. Is the only way I can describe how I feel🤣

[@geslinam9703]

Ugh, this plant. A friend gave me a few nice cuttings she had rooted in water early this summer. I potted them up, got some good growth, had it sitting on my back patio in a semi shady area….then this week found the plant lying on its side in the pot. The entire stem under soil level was mush. I didn’t think I was overwatering so not sure what happened. I was able to save the top, potted it up in a little hydroponic pot, put it on my kitchen windowsill…and in the morning found my cat had eaten half of it. The windowsill is not easy to get onto, so she went to a lot of trouble to get to it. Obviously not as toxic as they say because my plant-eating cat is fine. She didn’t even throw up. She’s pretty tough. She once ate an entire African violet. In bloom. I bought it in full flower, put it on my kitchen counter, and in the morning there was nothing left. Drives me crazy. I’ve had so many cats and though occasionally one would nibble on a plant, never have I had a cat as destructive as this one.

[@anitamabel2249]

Just started on my plant care journey and this plant was on my wish list and I just got it.

[@jessicaishere8416]

This plant is driving me MAD!! I’m a huge philodendron collector. I’ve been growing my collection for over 4yrs now. I own 6 Huuuge monstera deliciousa and numerous other philodendrons. My huuge monsteras have always been one of my most favorite plants.. About 2months ago I bought this plant thinking how adorable would this be to add near my huuge monstera split leaf plants. Someone sold me a well rooted cutting and I take the exact same care of it like I do with every other philodendron. Unfortunately this plant haaates me! Idk why?!? It is mind blowing. Every other philodendron I own thrive and Grow enormous. Idk what I’m doing wrong with this plant but I’m to the point where I often think about giving it away or just letting it die. It keeps getting wilted leaves, I only water it about once a week (just like all my other philodendrons.) I have it in a tiny pot so I know it’s not from root root or anything crazy. Idk if the plant is homesick from its original home? I just can’t figure it out. I’ve tried everything imaginable. I have multiple grow tents and humidifiers in them. All my other plants thrive. This one is the most temperamental plant I’ve ever had in my entire life..! It’s so gorgeous too. But, unfortunately it’s just not happy nomatter what I do for it. I’ve heard ppl say they think pink princess are hard to grow. Lol, I’d much rather deal with a pink princess then this plant. I have five ppp. Not one has ever gaven me any problems.. it’s constantly wilting and I just can’t figure out why?!? If anyone has any advice I’d really appreciate it cos I’m at my Whitt’s end with it and so disappointed😰😤🤦🏼‍♀️🙄😭 The person who sold me it - told me to give it water downed coffee once a month. I still haven’t done that cos I think the soil I have it in is acidic enough. I’m wondering now if maybe it was use to drinking coffee and is wanting more? Idk? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I have her in a 2” starter pot.. well draining aroid soil mix, and I also give all my plants a liquid fertilizer once a month.. any advice?

ok 7:15 I see you. Those moss poles are a flex🥵 I love when you do these dedicated info videos because mine hasn’t been doing well and I’ve learned that I’m under watering a lot. Im definitely going to be making an actual moss pole for it too because the random chop stick I have it tied to isn’t cutting it (who woulda thought). I’m so excited though! I finally got my Good & Planty shirt in the mail AND I finally bought a peperomia peppermill like I’ve been saying I would do every time you show yours. Time for a photoshoot😂

[@TinyHyena1967]

@Byron Lee ~ my local nursery did basically the same thing. They had the Rhaphis listed as just "monstera" and had them next to the Deliciosas. I knew what they were and grabbed one. As I was paying for it, I mentioned this to the cashier. Three weeks later I went back to the nursery and they had all the Rhaphis relisted as Monstera Ginny. LOL.

[@TinyHyena1967]

@something.about.plants ~ A couple of months ago I saw some Rhaphis at our local farmer's market and the vendor had them labeled as Split-Leaf Philodendron. This adorable little plant sure goes by a lot of names ... most of them wrong, of course. LOL.

[@rebeccasuraci7666]

Thank you! Mine was a little yuck when I bought it . It basically died . I think it’s because they nursery left chunks of stalks and root out of the soil ... I grew a prop .. repotted it making sure to keep soil covering the stump they left. and fast forward 6 months it’s about as big as it was originally but healthier looking . That being said ... it’s not like super tall or pushing mad leaves out . It’s still staying leeeeettle . But it looks healthy so I guess size shouldn’t matter

[@GoodandPlanty]

healthy is always better than bigger! size will come :)

[@sproutswithjoy]

I just bought one of these guys! :)

[@rileylongan3782]

I just got one of these and repotted it out of the nursery pot into a regular pot. The soil has been staying pretty moist without me watering it even though I used some draining additives in the soil mix. The soil is drying out a tiny bit over time but I was just wondering if I should repot it into even more well draining soil?? 😅 💗

[@GoodandPlanty]

It might be that the plant isn't getting enough light! If it's taking more than a week for the plant to dry out, then maybe switching the soil is a good idea. I'd give it some time if it's not an emergency so that it can acclimate to your home.

[@freebutterfly102]

How about propagating In coco coir? Will that work. I got root rot in my Pothos with Regular Soil mixed perlite and coco coir. Is Coco Coir alone better?

[@Solenne3]

What moisture meter do you recommend? I tried one and it always said my plants were dry. I usually do a finger test, but with new soil blends I've been trying it's harder to tell.

​@@heatherdegreeff1092 don't give up on the mother plant 😅 i did the same thing and after a while the base took off and now it has 4 or 5 new grow points

[@Gee5425]

@@werosification I've heard this story over and over. I bought one about a month or two ago for $10 at Kroger, and I'll be cutting it, and propagating it as well. The majority of stories I've heard is people buy their single vine, cut it up and propagate it, and the mother plant takes off. That they're quick growers, and their single vine can turn into a several vined, full plant by the end of the season. Hoping to have the same success.

[@werosification]

@@Gee5425 that makes sense, I've heard about people struggling with propagating cuttings, but never about struggling with the mother plant after propagation

[@lucy-tb1yd]

sorry for my spelling i think you get the idea

[@jasmineaswa]

Personally I’ve noticed that when plants get stressed they can kinda go dormant so maybe just give it some time to bounce back. You could try moving it to a spot with better/more stable light but I’d say just water it like normal and hopefully you’ll see new growth soon🌿
