imma go crazy propagating my monstera now that i know how to do it safely -thank you

I really love how you say bag. bheg.

You saved me from cutting my expensive albo so I have room for trial and error, so big thanks to you.

That was so awesome! I srsly love this channel and how informative it is. Thanks for keeping things short and sweet and to the point!

I followed your method and it worked for me after one month! I couldn't find sphagnum moss by itself so I used orchid moss. After a week no roots grew. I then mixed sphagnum peat moss with the orchid moss, and that combination did it. After one month there was a 4 inch root and I was able to cut it off to plant it. Thank you!

Great job, it does look like a safer method of propagating! Thanks

You could even make a kokedama (moss ball) using just the sphagnum and cotton string. When the "cutting" is ready you could properly cut it and you'd have an instant Monstera kokedama. Thanks for the great idea!

Great video! FYI, bonsai enthusiasts have been doing this for a long time by cutting a small plastic soda/water bottle so maybe you can try that instead of a bag

Air layering just occurred to me,I have a few new shoots growing from my monstera and loads of aerial roots... but no new roots so I'm going to try this. I'm thinking in the wild the plant would probably lie across the ground and in contact with mossy branches and rotten leaves and put down loads of roots. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for this video. I am doing this with my albo but I have no clue what I'm doing. Just watching videos. The two spots I air layered grew roots!! So now I have to get brave enough to cut. Ahhhhh I'm scared lol!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that you go back to show the mother plant bc killing the mother plant is my fear. No other video shows this.

That is clever

Thank you so much I appreciate you showing us from start to finish! Super informative. Also the way you say bag is freaking adorable. My fiancé has an accent that's different from my own but I never tell him what words or he tries to fix it lol.

Just incase you ever want to learn to play the piano .......please use a single edge blade. Those flimsy double edge blades are not friendly. I don't want to see you posting a video with your hand wrapped in a bag of sphagnum moss. ...I don't think that you can propagate your fingers.

Great channel 😁 Your mother monstera is a beast of endless cuttings! Is it growing back faster each time? 😆

I love learning and this is perfect for my syngoniums and monsters! I'll try it out tomorrow ☺️ New subscriber, thank you!

Hey techplant, is it possible if you can show the progress of your lemon trees you planted 4 months ago, im really curious

Hi there! Love this video, and my mom has a big monstera, that we'd like to divide and repot in a safe way like this ☺. Do you think you can airlayer with coco coir instead of sphagnum moss? (I dont have the latter at home, but i get it if it's needed). Thank you for this!

Wow...this is freaking cool

Maybe a weird question but can you re-use the sphagnum moss or do you have to throw it out after using it once?

Thanks for being educational

I'm new in your channel, thank you so much for the tip.

I guess I’m gonna have to abort my air-layering attempt and start over, because there are no secondary roots on the air roots that I covered with the moss. The stem? Is sending out two new leaves anyway. So it might be best I wait. The bottom is just so bulbous and heavy. I’ve attached it to a stake so it doesn’t break off of the entire plant.

Hey, man! I was wondering if you could make a video about compost and the plant food you use for your garden (: awesome videos!!

Самое нормальное видео,информация! Коротко,ясно и по существу!Большое спасибо!

Great video! Thanks

So informative. Thanks

omg i love your channel 😻🌿 binge watching all of them now lol

Waoooo really interesting to watch. The roots rotten bcz the bag must have had air tightly packed properly

This is so cool and ingenious!

Hi Techplant, I live in Dubai and it’s 40C (105F) right now outside. Can I put my Pothos and Monstera in my balcony? There’s no direct sun. Can they survive? Please advise. Thank you.

Nice! Never even thought this was an option. Thanks!

Omgosh!! Driving home now with a 6’ tall by 4’ wide monsters deliciosa (sp?) and saw your video! I’m doing this! Thx! Question, I notice that when you planted this, you added soil well above the base of the stems. 2-3” of the bc stems were subterranean. This is ok? Won’t rot those buried stems?

Love your channel ! Ty4Sharing Thumbs up !

Wowww thank you for this information, gonna do it for my plants. And one question, are we need to watering thw spagnum moss, or we can let them dry?

Great video!

Other air layering articles and videos instruct to cut the stem first (half to to 2/3rds through), insert something into the cut to keep it open, and then apply the moss wrap. Did you do this without cutting the stem? It seems you've seen success with rooting without that initial cut!

This is an awesome video! Thank you!

I like the video so subscribed!

Muito bom

So lucky to have found your channel, thank you! Btw are you in Australia?

Do you have to use sphagnum moss, or will any medium that you can keep moist do? Like paper towel, gauze wrapped in string...

Very informative. Is fresh moss better? I will prepare my Monstera Adansonii for air layering. Thank you🙏

This video underrated

I do the same with a piece of cloth so it gets air and you can mist it from outside when needed. Only issue is that you can't see the roots

I have a large monstera that has just became too leggy. I am air layering many of the roots now for the first time because I plan on chopping them all and planting them all as one height in a new pot. My question is when I do this and I have all the cuttings replanted, will their new leaves come in juvenal or continue to grow the same size? I am going to save the base level stems too to reset that as well. I will have to fix my moss bags though because I was unaware that the stem has to be in there too. I just bagged the roots from the largest more mature stems. HELP!

To make it easier, they have propagating balls for this specific propagating

Do you have a video about Keike paste for aroid plants? I haven’t seen anything like comparable keike paste or any kind to activate new off shoots near the node. If you’ll have that’s really a good topic

Can I shorten a stem using this method ?

Hyy I need your help, I got monstera cutting and I was doing water propogation after some time I saw that all aerial roots got squishy so I cut them off , but still cutting was able to grow some other healthy roots then at the end stem was rotten all last part was squishy and dark . What should I do now because I really wanted this plant for long time and now i want to save it .

You are great - keep it up. Do you know if you can get roots from a monstera leaf without nodes if placed in rooting powder? Thank you 😁

You could of just put the Ariel root you cut off into a glass of water and roots would of grown, then once established cut from below and replant

Does this work on Monstera Adansonii too? (I guess it will). Also, could you just chuck a vine with air roots and all under the soil and see how/if that works?

@techplant Halo , it’s really nice to learn from you channel. And I have a question, the new root coming out from the moss, if I don’t want to cut it and propagate it, and just leave it in the air , it will dry out right? I mean how can I make the plant grow some new woody root and leave in the air like normal, without drying out. I just want more air root in my plant.

Hi! Do you have to cut off the aerial roots in order to do this? Could I leave the aerial root there & wrap around it?

Awesome tip. Would the new plant produce leaves with split?

My pothos is dying. Over a meter of no leaves. I would try and take the stem out and the roots are nowhere to be found. I'm so upset!

Thanks!!

Very smart. 👍

The soil mix... you said you put some sphagnum moss? The same stuff that you used to root the stem? (Great video!)

Can I do this with Borsigiana?

This is really cool! Great video :)

I dont have a node i have areal root. Its diffrent?

Love your propagation videos! I'm curious, does airlayering work with soil or just spagnum moss?

Hey I was just thinking about trying this on my rubber tree. I have about a 6 foot tall rubber tree that I've wanted to cut to promote branching. But now I'm wondering if I could remove the leaves around the area I intend to cut, and apply the moss the same way you did. Any thoughts?

Why did you cut the big aerial root? If you put it in the bag does it turn to a regular root?

Hi! I am air layering one of my monsteras too! Did you have to dry the cut stem before planting it to soil? Im so worried of the stem rotting!

After one week I have these thick roots coming out, they look like aerial roots, but are whitish-yellow. Is this normal?

Will this work with ROCK WOOL INSTEAD OF SPHAGNUM MOSS???

I have a monstera that’s extremely leggy. It was in poor lighting and kept reaching for the sunZ The 8 main stems are very long (abt 2 feet long before you hit a leaf stem). They bend in awkward places, and there’s a lot of off growth from the stems with a lot of small leaves. I’ve cut 3 stems down and took cuttings from it to propagate. How would you address the remaining loooooooong 5 stems?

Hello. I tried a propagation like this but always end up on a stem rot. Lots of monstera died already. Disinfected everything. Should i wait for a few days inorder that it would callus?

Hello! I got sphagnum moss from Homedepot but it turned out to be the kind that looks like potting mix. Would it be okay to use that since I already bought and opened it?

Does the new plant output new leaves?

Can I do this with a MASSIVE, like 6+ foot tall monstera who's flowered and growing my two pieces of fruit or should I just leave it alone?

Can you use Spanish moss instead of sphagnum moss?

ahhh just tried this so do you water right after or give it a few days ?

Awesome informative video!

this place is your home or? looks like kind of arboretum?

Older video but did you get many complaining that it rotted?

Have you tried air layering Pothos?

That's just splitting plants. You already had roots coming out of it. All you had to do is cut the stem and plant the piece in a pot and it will continue growing.

Planted way too deep.

your orchid looks really sad! :-(

Stop capitalizing species.
