My favorite Houseplant tools here: amzn.to/3sYJ3ta
Yesssss, finally I have created a video on how to successfully propagate a Monstera deliciosa!
In this video filmed over the course of a few months, I show step by step how to take a cutting of a Monstera, grow new roots, and then plant it up so that you can grow more and more of one our favorite houseplants of all time.
While this video explicitly shows propagating a Monstera deliciosa, the basic techniques involved in this video can be used for many other houseplants including Philodendron, Pothos, Rhaphidophora, and other Monstera.
I hope you enjoy the video! if so, don't forget to Like the video and consider subscribing to my channel, that is full of plants all the time #houseplants #garden #plants

Great information, Devin. Thank you! My neighbour gave me a Monstera deliciosa last year having shoveled all her walks (along with mine) during the winter months here on Vancouver Island. It was big when she gave it to me in so much that its growth could no longer support the pot. It kept tipping over. I will heed your advise and do some propagating to make some babies and share them with all my other neighbours. On a side note, my twin brother propagates all his plants in his aquarium. It's warm with lots of free fertilizer. Cheers! Darryl

It took so many video before getting to yours for me to say okay I got it haha.

Buuuttt waaaiiittt. When you put the cutting in water was it tap water? Distilled? Spring? Did you put fertilizer in the water for extra nutrients? Did you completely change the water when it got dirty, or just added more water? I heard that you shouldn’t clean out the water because it gets rid of the root hormones. I’m wondering because i have a monstera cutting right now and am using the water method, but it got some white fuzz thingy on the root and where i made the cut it was turning black but I let it callous over (3 days) ☹️. So i had to cut the rot off and i’ve let it recalous but I haven’t submerged the cut end again just the arial roots that were growing roots. I need help I dont want it to die 😭😭😭😭

If you have an aquarium air stone and add that to the vase, you'll get *way* more rooting. I added a single-leaf node to a vase with an air stone about 6 weeks ago mostly just as an experiment, and the roots are wild - totally filled the vase, probably like 10x what this node got! I'm kind of hesitant to take it out and see if it keeps growing, even though the roots have gone crazy there hasn't been any new leaf growth yet.
