Monstera Deliciosa Single Node Propagation (0-9 Months)

[@SS-sb7fk]

Can't imagine the patience you need to carry out such long term experiments. Thankyou

[@TechplantChannel]

Some is patience some is just me forgetting for a while lol! Thanks for watching!

[@MrEiht]

I know I should throw them away but two of my orchids catched crown rot. It only takes 2-3 years till they recover. But I have NO patience at all. I just get really sad when I see them suffer, know people throw them away in this condition and I got skills. And am not smart.

[@MrEiht]

@@TechplantChannel exactly that. You do your routine and suddenly time has passed and who would have guessed it: Mother nature has found yet another unreasonable way to impress us.

[@cagarden8808]

Ok, I’m going to buy a on-sided razor blade today to start my monstera propagations. Thanks for the ideas and inspiration!

[@MrEiht]

@SupplyGuy I have an Aloe. But Boylei not Aloe. It is very old and produced tons of babies. Since I have no space, I had put them EVERYWHERE. And they grow anywhere. As you mentioned, the ones with direct full sunlight behind the window show some orange, hurt leave-tips. They can adopt but slowly. E.g. if you want to grow them in a full sunlight place: Put them there in winter. Once summer comes, they know HEAT :) Not the movie, they are too young for that!

[@R-Vin]

I just put mine just like these cuttings inside a wet paper towel and put in a zip lock without locking it; every single node grew.

[@zaarakhan9013]

How many months it took to grow? Also Does it need light?

[@eh4977]

I have done this. My mother in law had 3 large monsteras, she had them for 35 years. But they got thrown outside and forgotten for a decade. No water and not a lot of sun. I found them and they looked like yours but I brought them all back to life and they're huge! I took node cuttings from all 3 and made a bunch more propagations from those. I just barely covered mine with potting soil and they rooted.

[@TechplantChannel]

Way to go! Nice work!

[@PresidentMercury]

Did you keep them in a container or simply keep the soil moist in a pot?

[@DrCarlaSeleme]

You are blessed and my inspiration. Thank you for posting and wishing you and you Monstera plants and Happy New Year.

[@katrinathatsit]

This is the best underdog comeback story of all time

[@AbelleveMe]

Found a broken off branch of monstera on the ground some almost 3 months ago. There were about 7 leaves and most of them were in bad shape, so i took them off and buried the branch in dirt. This video finally brought me the courage to dig it up and cut it up to propagate. Apparently every single node has rooted very nicely! Now i have 5 chonks to share :) hopefully i don't have to wait too long for them to shoot up leaves now that there are alr plenty of roots. Thanks Techplant

[@TechplantChannel]

Very cool, thanks for sharing

I love finding random cuttings. I found a PPP in a parking lot. It was rough, but she's beautiful now.

[@claudiodos-santos2725]

I really enjoy the "raunchy" way you mix/throw everything into the potting mix, can't help to laugh out loud 🤣🤣

Lmao i have a large tote i dump all my dead plants back in and re use that soil too I've given up on expensive mixes now that thr prices are so high. Just chuck em in and hope for the best lol

[@crvforever]

I love your videos. I rewatch them all the time while I’m waiting for my seeds to grow or my cuttings to root

[@OddSocksQueen]

First plant youtuber that’s actually explained what nodes are so I know what to look out for. My monstera a a cutting from a plant at work that’s old enough to flower/fruit. Someone made the cutting and then quit and it was going to be thrown away so I asked if I could have it. Couldn’t bare to see it get thrown out. No idea what I’m doing with it though and having to learn fast 😅

[@kathleen8104]

@@OddSocksQueen I see this was 7 months ago but I still hope you get this. I put mine in a produce clear plastic container in a some damp spagnom moss and a grow light. It has only been a month all 4 of them have leaves and are getting nice roots, I know this will work.

[@Lokoroko26]

I've been loving these monstera propagating videos and I'm absolutely fascinated. But it also made me realize that this means these guys must get absolutely invasive in their natural habitats. Twisting and vining everywhere, cuttings that break off and fall grow into a huge new plant.

[@cafeohlej]

I love this. Thanks for this lengthy experiments. I makes me want to be more patient

[@TechplantChannel]

You can do it! If you put them in a bin you can kinda just forget about them!

[@adeline4610]

Random advice... Purchase sterile single use scalpels online they'll be equally as sharp and you'll have better control and safety :) If you need a wider razor and that's why you're using that one you can get an old school solid metal straight razor and strop and boil between cuttings for sterility. Awesome video!

[@TechplantChannel]

I got some scalpals that I may try

[@chainsawenthusiast]

man this is a fantastic vid, i found a monstera out this morning in freezing temps, seemingly dead. it was a very mature plant, i couldn't save any nodes with a healthy leaf attached. i desperately want to save this plant, hope this will come in handy.

[@darcyty090]

Great and inspiring video! Abundant in much needed info. In fact, I am currently on day 7, reviving an adansonii, in similar condition. I got encouraged from your "Does node size matter..." vid. I followed every tip, specially about the blade, and they are doing fantastic so far. Only different with mine is that I used paper towels for the really tiny one node, and pumice for those with internodes to spare. Also am situated in the Philippines, so I guess the natural high humidity helped a lot. Another thing may I add, I noticed that near each node (even the nearest to the roots), a small baby plant(triaglular-shaped bump) is present. I made sure that that area is facing upward and not facing down buried in pumice. Thank's again and good luck to your future experiments.

[@TechplantChannel]

Sounds like you are doing a perfect job! I like that you are testing out papertowel too! I'll have to try that! Great job and thanks for taking the time to tell me.

[@darcyty090]

@@TechplantChannel I noticed that wet wipes retains and release moisture very slowly, and rots(mold, mildew, fungus, algae) less. That gave me the idea to try paper towels inside a closed.container.👍

I love to see how plants are and how they survive. I am also experimenting with my Monstera, which I am rehabbing from root rot, hoping it grows some roots. Checking my propagation box, I throw some pieces of the stem of a satin pothos, and it is amazing how they grow from a small piece to growing leaves already. I love the prop box!

My mom gave me a monstera who was outside dying of heat burn, so I took it home and cut the bad leaves, and is now living in Leca with liquid fetrilizer, seems to be doing good for now, now yellowing and dead leaves. I also cut some of the trunk, I got some roots coming out from your perlite+moss trick and can't wait to see some baby leaves!!! :3

[@spidey_things]

This video came to me at the perfect time, I just ordered varigated monstera roots offline, and I wasnt sure how to propagate them (they were 5 roots for 7 dollars, which is much better than the $100+ plants they were asking for). This was very informative, and I'll be propagating them in perlite

[@aBeanSpeaks]

I have a very sad but formerly very LARGE Monstera with only one mostly green leaf that I repotted, but it has just been wilting. I am so emotionally attached to this plant and you gave me hope and proof that it can be saved, so thank you 😭 I’m sad it basically has to start over when this thing, when I got it, was 4 feet tall with leaves with double fenestrations, and it’s gonna be years until it can get back to that point, but I hope I can maintain care of it for that long because it will be so rewarding to see it grow 🥹 I have severe ADHD and depression which led to neglect, but the plant never gave up on me, so I’m not giving up on it. It was attempting to put out new leaves the whole year that I’ve had it (and mistreated it) and I’m just so happy it gets another chance.

A month later the growth restarted! no roots yet and one woody end is getting a bit black, so im spraying iwth some hydrogen peroxide solution and hoping it will pull through.

It decreases surface area, allowing it to heal faster and preventing disease spread. Imagine if you cut your hand with a very clean, surgical cut. Then imagine if you shredded and crushed your flesh while cutting with a dull pair of scissors. Which would heal faster?

If you don't want to wait to callous fresh cuts but you also struggle with mold and rot, get yourself some horticultural dusting sulfur. It's sold as antifungal plant product. :) Immediately brush the fresh cuts with the powder so it's evenly covered or dip the ends into a pile of powder. Let it dry for a few seconds and then brush or tap off the excess. Voila. The cut is sealed with a substance that won't harm the plant at all and will kill any mold trying to grow into the cutting from the ends. :) I always dust my cacti cut wounds with sulfur. Always.
