Great vid! Perfect for listening while taking a stupid walk for my stupid mental health.

I bought a baby monstera (12inches tall with all it's baby leaves) and accidentally left a fan pointed at it for a week. To my surprise the next leaf that came out had three fenestrations on it! I moved the fan and the next 5 leaves had no fenestrations 😂 I think I hacked/stressed it out making it think it was in a week long hurricane! I'd love to see you do an experiment with wind!

no one ever speaks of the delicious fruit they give. that is my favorite part of monestara

I keep monstera in my aquaponics system and it's huge and taking over everything

27:45 this part is stuck in my mind!! Every time there is bright sun outside I look at my monstera and thinking to move her outside for a while, I hear your voice saying "leave it!!!!" 🤣🤣

We keep our monsteras inside during the cold months (Chicago-based). One year I took a large one and placed it out in our atrium which does not get many hours of direct sunlight but amazingly, this one plant showed burned leaves after maybe three days. Also, our 7 foot schefllera amate exhibited even worse sunlight burn. Both survived. No lasting damage except for the area on my rear where I was kicking myself.

Fabulous. I really learn a lot in this one. The baby monstera I got was in a 6 inch pot with knats, I bathed it, gently washed roots and repotted in a 4 inch pot to work on getting root bound and I put my stake in. I looks a lot better. Thanks for everything. Peace and Love.

If you chose the Rolex, you could sell it and buy lots and lots of monsteras.

I really appreciate your videos. Thank you for being willing to disclose your plants that are ailing and thank you for showing your thought process in figuring out what the plant problem may likely be. ❤

OMG, I saw an hour video for Monstera and thought WTF, ain’t nobody got so much to say that can keep my attention for so long on one fricken plant. Well, it passed by so quick and so much good info I’m going to have to have another listen and take notes! 😅. Excellent, definitely subscribing to your channel and thank you for sharing. One last thing…. At the end when you were repotting the last plant your wife wasn’t home, was she? I could tell because you put nothing down on the table… you must put a sheet down of some sort, I use a plastic table cloth I keep just for doing messy jobs like that, I suggest you do the same so as not to incur the wrath of the Mrs. 💜

You throwing that plant in The garbage was so funny! I’ve been dealing with monsteras for years and it’s tempting to chunk some of those cuttings, can’t bring myself to do it. Great video! Say hello to the Missus 😅

Thank you for the valuable tips. I'm starting again with Monstera after I tossed my previous plant onto compost pile when it became a tangled mess of vines. Oddly enough, new Monstera is old Monstera. Or rather, a tiny chunk of its vine that became lost in my "discard soil" bucket, then grew a vine out of my balcony Echeveria pot, where that discard soil went. Its first leaf got scorched by the sun, but it made a speedy recovery after repotting and is on its 4th leaf, each larger than the former. It also grows a lot more densely now that I know it needs more sun.

This is really interesting , how a plant actually adapts & looks after the leaves below it. Absolutely amazing nature. I love learning about everything about this earth & the beautiful things in it.

Billie here. Thank you for all your information. I have only 50 plants. You have giving us more than tips than I thought we know. I need a holster for my water meter.. Thank you again. Your the best. Stay aaell

Excellent advice.. winter is upon us! What a tonic you are ❤

I've bought 2 of those Sansi plant lights and like them very much. I have one on my first monstera, which i bought because of your hilarious informative videos.

I love your content! I’m graduating with my BS in Horticulture in May, and your advice is spot on 🎯

I've always used the miracle grow potting soil and never had a problem with it. Same with the fertilizer.❤😊

With regards to watering Monsteras, mine exhibited guttation when I gave it more water than it needed! That was my cue to not water it like other house plants.
