What we've learned from growing thousands of Monstera Albos in our South Florida Greenhouse!

🌿 We have been growing Monstera albos inside our greenhouse since the end of 2019!! The amount of trial & error we have come across is extraordinary! But throughout it all we are now one of the largest breeders of Monstera Albos in the country! 🥲
We will continue to learn about these plants everyday & we are here to share it all!

I do have a tip though from much research into albos, it is all about where the stem is cut. You want to cut close to the node when the stem is beginning to turn either green or whit. This trains the stem to stay its chosen variegation. Also, when you get the "full moon" Leaves, do not wait for the leaf to die which is ALWAYS will, because the plant is already focusing on reverting to this color. They don't just revert to green! Cut it back to where the baby began and this will give it another shot at turning out right:) You would not believe the stuff I have learned about this dream plant. I have even tested the theories out on friend's albos. I hope it helps. If I could afford the price of this plant, I would get them ONLY from you!

[@mazzy2121]

These were the kinds of tips I wanted to hear!! Thanks!

[@rosewest5168]

Can I ask then please....my albo has become highly variegated at the top now. The stem was green at the base with a small white streak. Do you cut above the white part or below?

[@meganpahl3612]

@@rosewest5168 When you have leaves that are around 99% white, they will still produce green variegation as well. However, if you get a fully white growth and you are afraid of it dying off, or leaves almost entirely reverted back to green (which they will so be careful) you need to cut above the last node where you see any and all color streaking. You can promote it to try again this way. If you want to cut below that same node, its alright too because you can re-root the portion you cut off:) The key with these and pruning is all about the color of the stem.

[@rosewest5168]

@meganpahl3612 @meganpahl3612 Thank you. I have 3 of my own albo's which I've had for 2 years now. One of which is highly variegated and has half moons which touch wood the white is still fine! I think I've been lucky with that one as I don't use grow lights or humidifiers. She is on the worktop behind my back door. The other day I bought 5 albo plants off a ladies daughter. The lady had passed away. I got them for 10 each. They are quite mature ...I noticed the lady managed to increase the variegation by cutting the main stem in places and then another stem has shot out. They told me she used to sell the leaves on eBay. One of the plants is mature but only has 5 leaves but lots of stem so I'm not sure whether to leave it until spring or cut off the nodes and propagate. She had another plant where its more variegated at the top and green at the bottom on the leaves. I'm not sure whether to take the top off and turn into a plant. So am I right in thinking that if there is a node that has a little green growth point and I snip back to there it will promote green? If its a half and half growth point it will be both and if mainly white it will be alot more variegated? Sorry for all the questions. I've watched so many videos on them but I never knew you could promote variegation.

I know that all of your plants are quality and it's nice that you are actually hands-on with the processes involved if I come to Florida I'm going to need a U-Haul and both of my wallets

Love the video. I have a green Monstera with leaves 26in long and 21in wide , in a pot outside. Have you thought about giving us ideas on setting up a small patio using your aroids , and pots , and maybe a water feature? You have such nice pots in your store. :)

[@jmbal925]

How do I order a low variegation one? I didn’t see that option on your website :(

[@audacityofthemind8348]

Paula I think you’re beautiful! and I’m in love with you 😍 But as for Monstera Albo Borsigianas (small form) they have basically Chimeral Variegation which means they can change from low to more variegation and Vice Versa, from more variegation to none. The main reason is how the variegation draws from its stem. So the more balanced the variegation of the stem, chances are the leaves will draw a more balanced variegation on its leaves. And if the variegation on the stem is half green and half white, it will draw from the stem and produce half green and half white which is commonly known as the “half moon” variegation and from my experience, the half moons will eventually produce pure white leaves which will not survive cause plants need the green part which has chlorophyll to be be able to photosynthesize food. The main thing to get out of this is that plants that has “Chimeral Variegation” draws its variegation from its stem, and that when you cut your monstera and propagate, the variegation might diminish or it might create more variegation 🤙🏽

[@WeLoveMusic]

Nice video, but i have a question. Do you keep the lights on all day and if not than how many hours a day?

[@charlottecobain6986]

Plants need a dark period for the best results. You could do anything from 12:12 (12 hours with light:12 hours without) up to 18:6 (probably too much light but with low wattage it’s usually fine), down to 8:16 and still keep decent variegation going.

[@socialdining1496]

Oh no I have touched the leaves, what should I clean them with so that the finger oil comes off again?

[@debpogue3469]

I would like to have some of them how would I get one

[@mrjamesgrimes]

These seem really leggy…is that common with this type?

[@MissCookie8260]

Went to the site to order and couldn't find anything. Impossible to navigate your website. Nice plants, bad website. Needs to be more user friendly.

[@EY77724]

Do you ship to Canada?😢

[@jodielee89]

growing in coco perlite, isn't that hydroponics? Do you have to water everyday with nutrients A+B, Cal Mag etc?

[@charlottecobain6986]

It’s inorganic; not hydroponics. Hydroponics requires a reservoir and roots partially submerged/grown into water. These are grown just as you would normally grow in soil, the substrate is just inert/inorganic. You can have active or passive reservoirs but I can’t think of an instance where you’d be adding nutrients daily. Typically you’d change out a reservoir with fertilizer weekly and these are probably fertilized bi-weekly or with slow release fertilizer since inorganic substrates don’t have any natural fertilizers in them.

I am really confused. This is the first time I have viewed one of the videos you produce but, after visiting the multiple links to your nursery I cannot find a single plant for sale to the general public. The links listed in the description of the video "Shop Growers Choice" and "Shop Aroid Restock" both lead to pages that have 404 page not found messages. I did a google search which says you sell to the public and deliver via email but after thoroughly perusing your site there is NOTHING but WHOLESALE links.. Have I made a mistake by subscribing to a KZbin channel that is going to do nothing but tease me about the plants that only wholesalers can access and purchase. Why work so hard to just fail at gaining customers that would like to purchase your products? I am removing my like and unsubscribing.....
