I still love how you do not care about the price nor the status of the plant! Let us face it--some plants hobbyists buy rare plants just to show off they have rare ones, not to actually maximize the growth potential of the plants they own. You are completely the opposite- objective and performance-based!!!!! Hugs from Montreal, Canada.

I love the beginning of this video. It's nice to see which plants haven't worked out for you yet; what you have tried; and what you're yet to try. It would be nice to see a video of all the plants with which you have issues and have a follow-up on it to see their progress after having made adjustments.

It's funny how you casually say "it's not my favorite" or "I really neglected it"... meanwhile, it's as beautiful as ever and I'm here praying mine will look half as gorgeous as these🤣🤣

Best tip for propagating the albo is to only put the aerial root in water for at least a week to allow the stem to fully heal. I’ve also dipped the cut end in water and that works good as well!

I feel better about my pinnatipartita.. she was mad and wanted higher humidity and more light so I chopped and propped to make her denser.. she looks better now but not great. her leaves aren't maturing for me. My peru is also really hardy and nothing will kill it but she's never really, really happy with me. She burns easily. But without light she gets gangly with long internode space. Seemed happier with more humidity but keeping her too damp was the worst thing I've done to her... monsteras seem really hardy over all but.. well, why I love your plants. Keeping monsteras alive and growing isn't hard.. but that last 10% where they're immaculate and maturing and more amazing with each leaf.. that's the holy grail and I love seeing your plants.

maybe it will be useful to you. there is a little tip for the plant not rot during water propagation. if the trunk of the plant is more than 0.5 cm, I give the trunk not only time to callus over but then also dip it in melted hot wax. it's not any special wax, just leftovers from my candles heated in the microwave. In this way, the cuts never rot.

Love your videos, great content. One correction I would like to make on Tissue Culture for the Thai Constellation, the stable variegation has nothing to do with TC. The variegation came about through TC as a random mutation, but you can TC any plant. Many new variegated plants occur via TC, but again it's random, and definitely not stable most of the time. TC is just a much quicker way to propagate plants in a controlled lab environment.

I didn’t read the comments but the monstera peru isn’t a monstera it’s philodendron karstenianum. Just like silver satin pothos isn’t a pothos it’s a scindapsus. Or the “”mini monstera”” aka rhaphidophora tetrasperma. They are quite easy. I got mine about 15’ high with bright indirect light and about 60% humidity. I eventually took cuttings and took it off the pole and let it trail. This plant will never fenestrate. It just has textured leaves.

me looking at how freaking small those pots are 😮😮😮 but i love that😂

In my experience, Monstera Pinnatipartita both crawl and climb. To get bigger leaves, let it crawl first!

Peru I can't keep even one leaf.....I have a chunk now and waiting for a leaf! Not sure if it is just a hard plant or we just got a bad cutting? Some seem to thrive with them! Both my mosteria are outside because of thrip! I think that is how I first got them was from buying my first monstera and did not check it.....so never had thrips before and they love coming back to them....so hopefully nature tskes care of the buggers before fall and I bring them back in!

I have a standleyana and I didn’t know what to do with it so I stuck a round metal hoop in the pot and started training it. I stuck it outside on patio during winter and it kept pushing out a new leaf every couple weeks . I move it constantly , it doesn’t seem to care where it sits and I now have three perfect half moon leaves and I don’t really fuss over it at all.

What I intend is to have bushy plant by sticking more Monstera Peru plants together. One of my planters has 8 individual plants inside and it looks good. I intend to try some water propagation for my Peru. Propagation box failed. I will just stick some Peru cuttings together with some pothos cuttings and just wait to see. If roots appear I will stick the cuttings into moss. And that's all.
