Getting Back Variegation! REVERTED Yellow Monstera ‘aurea’ | Propagation - WITH SATISFYING UPDATES!

In this episode, I share basic care tips for the yellow variegated monstera ‘aurea’ and propagate a reverted green specimen with aim to get some variegation back. I use various technique, and invoke my experience on detecting variegation stripes from the nodes, so there will be loads to learn from in this episode. There were lots of success and satisfying update at the end, but also some deadly mistakes so you learn not to make them!

    What N P K numbers do you recommend? I have 2 different fertilizers - one is N9 P3 K6 and the other is N7 P9 K5 so, I am wondering if I should get another for these plants which I do not mind to get. I have 2 Aurea’s that I started from wet sticks that I received in early January and they have grown painfully slow however, recently they have taken off growing and I’m so happy. So far they both have good variegation. I’m getting ready to repot and add a moss pole and after watching this, I want to make sure I have the right fertilizer.

    Love such prop videos! Does this mean its a myth that the growing eye placement determines the variegation? Since those were in the "no" pile but produced beautiful leaves 🤔

  • @onlyplants

    @onlyplants

    11 ай бұрын

    In my experience, the “yes” pile would have produced good variegation with a much higher possibility (but they died unfortunately). In the “no” pile there were a few maybes, because it was impossible to tell as the growing eye was covered. However, an all green growing eye from a variegated stem could still produce variegation but at a much lower possibility.

    Question: I have a 'Black Varnish' Pseuderanthemum plant that developed a variegated sport last year. It grew 4 sets of leaves with reducing variegation (50%, then 75% & 25%, etc) before returning to normal. I cut the branch after that node to encourage branching, but unfortunately the main leaves eventually dropped and it has stayed a bare branch, even when I have trimmed the rest of the plant to try and get growth into that branch. My question (after my long winded introduction) is, is there a way to encourage growth from that specific branch beyond what I've already done, or is it possible a lost cause?

  • @onlyplants

    @onlyplants

    11 ай бұрын

    Interesting… I wonder what that variegation look like on that… but these guys should respond well to pruning. I hope you propagated top cuts. Sometimes plants dont grow a new branch at the node below where you cut… they may grow it at the base instead. The only way I can think of, and I might be wrong, would be to apply keiki paste (commonly used in orchids) around the node you want the branch to sprout.
