The SECRET to LARGE Philodendron Leaves | CHOP & DROP Method

[@rosemontez3674]

Great video as always! Did you get the moss poles off Amazon by chance?

[@prettyingreen]

Yup! It’s actually this one: amzn.to/41JVNne

[@carolstuff]

I’ve done this on several plants…it works. I got the idea from Sidney Plant Guy; he named it “Chop & extend.” Thanks for sharing!

[@prettyingreen]

Ahhh yes!!! He has some HUGE plants!! Good to know 🤗

[@Sianeebananee]

Chop & Extend makes more sense too 😁

[@VioletGraces]

Another great, informative video. Thank you, Chris.

[@prettyingreen]

Thanks for watching, Linda!!

[@jillianleblanc9370]

I watch Sydney Plant Guy & he shows how he does it. I don’t watch any other channel that grows on moss poles, so idk what they post. I currently have 3, soon to be 4 moss poles. It is time consuming, but the end result is stunning!

[@EmEss7]

That was super helpful, thank you!

[@prettyingreen]

So glad it was 🤗

[@YungKit]

i got my first ever plants pretty recently and just made moss poles to try to make my monsteras big, big leaves are so nice

[@GreenWitch1]

Monstera don’t require a moss pole to grow large leaves. Just a support.

[@YungKit]

@@GreenWitch1 oh waw, this was a year ago and i now have 11 rare monsteras all on moss poles lol yeah moss poles don't seem to be required, but i like having it so it can grow tall and still receive all the water and nutrient as easily from any node, also means i can cut it when it gets too big without having to worry about roots. also i don't have much space so growing it vertical is nice for that.

[@GreenWitch1]

@ I didn’t even pay attention to the date 😂 I thought it was a new one. Eleven monsteras 😳 Wow! That’s impressive. Your logic makes sense. Carry on

[@blinkitphotography]

Always amazing learning from you.

[@prettyingreen]

Appreciate you watching the video! 😊

[@growinginthespareroom]

😅those moving lights. Genius!

[@prettyingreen]

[@MAELLEES]

So technically just cover a nod with the propagation ball then chop after it rooted? I have a philondendron that my mother gifted me a few years ago and I'm nervous to do this and end up killing it but its almost up to my ceiling now.

[@prettyingreen]

YES!

[@growinginthespareroom]

Hey, quick question. I use dyna gro foliage pro in my hydro drip sytem to water a bunch of coco chunk poles that have philodendron geowing on them. Ive never flushed my poles. Do you know if the fertilzer builds up over time in the poles? Ive used over 3 gallons of concentrate over the last 5 months. Everything seems good though

[@prettyingreen]

Great question. With concentrated synthetic fert like Dyna Gro, you definitely want to flush every 1-2 months, but to be honest, I don’t do it as much as I should, and it’s always fine… until the day it isn’t. So yeah, I’d do when you 😃 Maybe every 4th water, just use 10% strength fert and water. Using a little fert actually helps clean the media better

[@GreenWitch1]

That’s a very large amount of fertilizer 😮 Do you have 1000 plants? I only use 8 ozs in that amount of time. But I only have 50 plants.

[@lenapaws]

I have some green saran wrap would that be ok? I just wanna use it up lol.

[@prettyingreen]

Yup!! It’ll work great to trap the humidity!

[@lenapaws]

@@prettyingreen ty I was worried cuz of the color and light needing to get in but I guess it's trapping humidity that's it's main job lol

[@generationia]

It is a fairly well kept secret. In fact, most ‘plant aficionados’ gloss right past their secret of LARGE leaves. WHY? To what avail? 😊

[@-Boone]

Ah gosh, this is exactly what I was looking for. Funnily enough, same plant too. Shame I didn't think to look before my third pole extension though lol. I couldn't understand how I kept seeing 3-4 ft tall plants sized waay up already, while mines just now sizing up at 5-6 ft. Well, looks like I'll have 3-4 splendid soon lmao. (I need more room!!! Help. 😅)

[@Oscarr3813]

So where exactly should you cut the stem? 😢. I did not catch it. Sorry and thank you for the video.

[@bee8848]

how is this a 'secret'? lol

[@prettyingreen]

It's not! You know now 😂

[@salvisfun3577]

Am i high or are the lights sliding around ?🫠

[@prettyingreen]

Lolll the lights are moving!
