Thai Constellation Monstera imported from Thailand: A Year in a Life

[@jackiedavenport1530]

You’ve done a great job, saving your Monstera. Love the new growth! The roots remind me of orchid roots.

[@ninasuculentasymas]

Hello from Puerto Rico!!! First timer on your channel and just subscribed. My channel is in spanish but can be captioned. What a journey with your Thai. I got mine this month and somewhat anxious. 🪴🌿🌱💚

[@russelitona3109]

Thanks for making this video. It helps me a lot since its my first time to have monstera thai con.

[@johndiaries]

I hope my monstera thai constellation grows as big as yours ☺️

[@FranciscoGuevarra]

Whoever got this top cutting is so lucky :O Thai is more expensive than albo top cutting here in Sweden. Albo is kinda cheap now.. damn!

[@ajacosta2579]

Yea.. that was a BIG cutting for what she traded for in return. She’s happy with her trade that’s all that matters. It’s a cute lil plant

[@tracyjohnson3596]

I would never swap a thai constellation for an albo , i just bought a baby thai con it was alot of money i have 3 albos bought 2 of them as 2 leave rooted plants and 1 as a 2 leaf unrooted did not cost anywhere as near the price of a thai. I know its everyones preference but your trade was worth alot more than what you got in return😢someone was very lucky getting your thai 👏🏻🌱🌿🍀

[@tangie777uk]

That is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing

[@marymorris9421]

WOW! Your patience and hard work paid off.

[@SSaaNNddYY77]

I just bought a baby Thai Constellation and spent probably too much for something with leaves smaller than my thumb... lol! They are still very expensive! Costa Farms hasn't released any Thais as far as I know. Mine is in a small cup with spaghnum moss. I bought some good aroid soilless mix which I'm going to transplant mine into in a few weeks. This plant makes me nervous! Enjoyed your video!

[@jessicachavez1855]

I can’t wait to see updates on your Albo! Also, seeing the progress on your Thai over a year gives me so much hope for mine. Mine was a struggle in the beginning and just now is pushing out a new leaf after MONTHS. Definitely looking forward to it looking as massive as yours! 🙂

[@hennesseyme9112]

I got my first one and it rotted after I took it out of PON and put it in coco. I am trying to rehab the roots that's left. I will have to start all over with it. I know you have had heck with yours so it gives me inspiration.

[@hennesseyme9112]

My first plant did go to the pearly gates, but I learned a few things. If I put the plant in Pon, that is where it will stay. The vendor told me that PON root are too light for cocopeat which is heavier and that is what caused my plant to say goodbye. I got another one and one day after watering, the original soil and all of the roots came of together. I almost cried but I had one growth point. I put it in water but was scared it would rot, so I put it in Fluval Stratum and that thing is like magic to Constellations and Albo's. Today I have a beautiful full plant with several large leaves that don't think I am brave enough to prop so big up to you Marianne! I now keep my plant in a wonderful aroid mix I found on Etsy that has biochar, worm castings, and compost. If anyone reading this is having trouble with their plant rooting, please try Fluval Stratum before it starts to rot. I am also propping my Albo for the first time. The arial roots on Albo's grow much faster, and along the stem than Constellations. I mixed Fluval Stratum and tree fern fiber and it making the roots on my prob go bonkers. I guess the outside temps does not hurt either. As for Marianne, I enjoy watching this lady refuse to let her plant die. Once you get a Constellation established, it will make you love it more so don't give up on it.

[@jopem100]

Omg this video is giving me anxiety! I’ve ordered a Thai cutting that’s due to arrive today. Thank you for the video xxx

[@plantluxxe]

Hi! Thank you so much for posting this! I LOVE my Thai! A year has given me incredible growth! Mine was about as big as yours and now it’s a space hog. I love mine so much. So rewarding💕❤️🪴🌿

[@DesireeStamat]

I can't manage the stress of an import, but what a fascinating journey.

[@luckyjenny91]

Love this video. I loved how open and honest you were with your process and your plant is/ was/ is so gorgeous 😍

[@leaflovelaughwmissy2334]

Loved this video. Great dedication in doing these clips and I’d love to see what happens with your monstera also.

[@patsimmons3123]

I really enjoyed watching your journey with this plant 🪴 👏🏾👍🏽

[@gordsjackson8109]

Great video. Thai con is so much nicer in my opinion and actually more interesting. I have an albo. It has its own humidifier to keep the leaves from browning. I also have a no touch rule on the white parts , I would gladly trade it for the Thai constellation any day !!!!

[@ProximaCentauri88]

I heard that Thai Con has a more stable variegation than Albo. The Albo if left unchecked indoors could revert to green.

[@vettegeez7476]

Excellent save 😁 that was a cliff hanger😁

[@lindasimmons2197]

This video couldn't come at a better time and so helpful...I should be receiving my Constellation tomorrow from Thailand. I want to be successful with the acclamation process. This plant was expensive and of course rare...I don't want anything to go wrong...fingers crossed 😬😓

[@ThKiwi]

How did your plant do?

[@pamela7595]

Very educational and interesting. I want one know ☺. Yes, I would Iove to see another year in the life post. Thanks for sharing 💚

[@Dariusdoesreefing]

😂 I almost fell out my chair when you started the ceremony for the dead leaf lol . Great video btw I just got my TC

[@grow3384]

Great patience!! It’s amazing for that monstera to be recovered finally!

[@BlackBackLioness]

I feel this is a cautionary tail in not messing with your plants too much 😆 Just pick a method and stick with it, these things take time! I will say for anyone watching this and thinking about switching to LECA/or possibly put off by this video - LECA is great, I love it, I'm never going back to soil BUT always start your plant off in water first. Let it get a nice big water root system before popping it into LECA, especially if it was a cutting or started in soil. I've seen the best results this way, best growth, fastest root systems, no pests - LECA is great

[@pms2472]

Great video! Lots of good info! Total wish list plant!

[@tranquilitywithdd]

84 dollars for that huge plant? I have seen your other vids with your Thai's and it is what I would called a troubled child, yet you loved it so much. I enjoyed watching this video!

[@rickyonthewebs9841]

Thank you so much for this video. A lot of helpful information. And it’s amazing that you documented a whole year of this process! Amazing work! Please keep up the great videos! I’ve just starting my journey on my Thai Constellation cutting. Wish me luck!

[@nikhilpurig7049]

very well explained and very informative need to make more videos on plant god bless young lady

[@Fire-Queen]

Monsteras LOVE being rootbound! Thats a good thing. A lovely, healthy plant you have now ❤🍀considering how much you fussed over it.

[@carmenviolista]

Excellent video. It helped me a lot, I am also struggling with the roots 😉

[@Gorgeouscorliss]

I heard the Costa Farms launch at the big box stores has been scrapped I’m so disappointed, have you heard that?

[@IamSinai]

Sweet video and I mean that. Which company did you buy from?

[@Lapetiteplanteverte]

*Loved your video so much!!*

[@StingraySteve]

I have a feeling that as soon as the thais are in the stores they will all be bought up in one day to be re sold . I really don't think costa farms has enough of them otherwise they would have been released last year. The same thing happened with the albo alocasias they had them for one day lol

[@plantylocs5933]

How did you go about watering it with the moss? Did you ever squeeze it out, or just lightly misted?

[@vilmacollins8953]

We’re did you get your plant

[@ProximaCentauri88]

What a journey!

[@sofiadecena146]

AWESOOOME

[@mariafuentes1808]

My my it sure is beautiful!

[@danielnucefora8111]

Hi! Thank for your video. It’s really helpful. I have a Thai constellation that has root rod. I need help. Can you write down all the step you do?

[@sandrarodriguez2115]

i was wondering after you let the roots callus did you transfer to only sphagnum moss in the terra cotta pot or did you put another substrate with the moss when there was only one leaf left. My thai is also yellowing and i want to save it please help 🙏

[@Strawberrypunch25]

Hi! I loved your video. I am currently struggling with root rot on my thai constellation. After putting it in moss. Did you keep it high humidity and heating mat and only watered when the moss was dry? Thank you for your help.

[@missperry9539]

Moss is the only thing that saved my young Thai. I tried water and aroid soil and they both made it rot. I cut off most of the root, put it in spag and the root system took off. I literally watch the roots every day, they are growing so fast.

[@smellsfishy5187]

A question please, how do you water a pot full of sphagnum moss with plants in it? Dont they get super dripping wet if you water them like you would normally with soil medium? Haven’t ever tried rooting in moss, im new.

[@Gorgeouscorliss]

What website did you order from in Thailand? I really want a Thai constellation and I want one with leaves not just a node..

[@suedub5156]

Amazing!!!! Love this so much and I would love to see the year in the life of your albo!!!!

[@ceecee8757]

My TC lasted 8 months and died from root rot. 😩

[@annaritamannozzi9325]

Ma che piante stupende!

[@mannee3084]

do you mind to share the link for ordering the thai monstera fr Thailand

[@AdietsPhotography]

Wooow, amazingplant

[@sharonbrowne2311]

Sadly, Costa Farms never came through.

[@Godsmylove]

Loved the video!! Very helpful!! I would love to win that plant in your future giveaway!! I will stay tuned!!

[@growyo8085]

Cool 😎

[@ryan.effess]

good job !

[@leajohnson8441]

Why would you have just bought one from your local store?

[@orawanjan3442]

in thailand/ some farm offer 16usd+ shipping 180 baht for thai con.

[@devilmecare]

I'll wait for Lowe's to try to kill one and get it.

[@iamwoman1986]

You poor thing. This is such a tough process to go through

[@sjuno7156]

The song 😂

[@johndiaries]

20:45 This is why I dont like putting my plants in things like LECA or MOSS when I know that I’ll move it to soil TOO MUCH WORK

[@johndiaries]

But if it is to save a plant, NO ONE WILL GET ON MY PATH!!

[@chricweedon2205]

The store should have sent you a new one at least a small one

[@tyshastx]

80 bucks??? What a deal

[@berlinaroids]

Not really considering the sheer amount of rot that it came with. I'd have contacted the seller right away after receiving a plant in a state like this. I'd never sell any plant, let alone a pricey one, in that bad of a condition.

[@berrycarbs]

Nice video - but it is not a Thai Constellation Monstera, it’s a Monstera Thai Constellation. Monstera is the genus and the TC the variation.

[@nancybooth229]

What website can we order this from?

[@nittayahenry12]

Pronounce Tailand spelled Thailand

[@williamstevenson3049]

And Thai, Thigh 😂
