FINALLY after 30 min of searching the internet I found your very clear and concise video! It’s insane how hard it is just to find actually clear instructions about where the growth nodes actually are and where exactly you should cut in relation to them. Thank you so so much!!

Thank you for your video! It was direct and specific to pruning. Some of these other videos were WAY too long and don't even get to the fine details of how to prune. This was very helpful.

THANK YOU!! I just rescued one with all burned leaves😮 wasn't sure where to cut! Difficult to find a video about this, they hurriedly snip without showing exactly where!

That was so simple and the clearest explanation of pruning I’ve seen so far here. Thank you so much! ♥️

Thank you for being so detailed and the close ups are greatly appreciated

THANK YOU! I honestly just needs to prune off the old leaves/broken leaves after a friend knocked the plant over. everyone else's videos discuss propagating and I was like "I dont need to propagate, just PRUNE" I thought I was killing my plant by cutting at the base of the leaves -- this video made me feel so much better!

Thank you SO MUCH! I was searching for a clear, simple tutorial and this was exactly it.

I've just gotten my first Monstera so I had no idea how to prune or cut off the damaged leaves. This was what I needed.

Thank YOU so MUCH! I accidentally left my monstera on my super sunny deck for just one day and I have burns! 😭 This video is so helpful. ❤

Thanks for taking the time to make this clip. I was not sure where to make the cut and you cleared this up nicely.

This video was exactly what I was trying to find out! Thank you so much for explaining how these leaves grow out of one another and exactly where to cut to prevent damaging future leaves. 🪴🪴plus the difference in what heat and cold damage look and feel like. All in under 5 minutes!! Thanks again!!

I think this is why my monstera has gotten so leggy, I’ve been cutting off future growth when pruning so it now has ALOT of gaps. It’s putting out new leaves weekly, usually 2-4 at a time & it’s color is good so hopefully if I just follow these tips going forward it will bush out! Thank you for sharing this! 🪴💚

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!❤️ This is exactly what I need, and what I’ve been looking for! Now off I go to saving my monteras! 😁

Hey thanks from Tampa-St Pete. I'm going out this morning to have a visit with my monstera!

Wow so easy, when you said It’s hard to mess it up I laughed because I did haha.. that’s all I needed to know short and to the point thanks a lot❤

Short and sweet and extremely helpful. Thanks!

Thank you so much for the simplistic explanation! This has really helped💚

Omg thank you for getting straight to the point but still including important details ❤️

Thank you so much for addressing the signs of heat and cold damage! I had some cold damage, on the edge of a new light green leaf, which I was trying to identify but there weren't many informative videos, which were relatively long in run time. You told me everything I need to know in less than 5 minutes! You're awesome! Thanks again, so very much!

Thank you for this video. I’m going to have to prune my plant later today, and your video was quite helpful.

This was perfect thank you! I just grabbed one of these on the discount cart in Costco. She was really banged up but my daughter and I figured we can save her!

Extremely helpful! Thank u!

Great information. I have a few brown ish leaves that I need to cut but I hesitated. Now I can get them off properly. Thanks!

This was so informative!! Thank you!

Thanks, it's really helpful advice :)

Thanks, really well explained ❤!

This was really helpful! Thank you very much!

Thank you so much for a video that leaves no questions. I just purchased my first monstera. It was half price at Walmart and looking pretty rough. I've been putting off pruning for a week now out of fear of ruining it and now I can do it today. 😁

Thank you so much I really appreciate you uploaded this. X

Thanks so much for doing this video. I've been trying to find something just like this for over a week! I've been on FB plant groups and KZfaq and found nothing helpful until your video. I am a new plant mom and didn't know exactly where to cut my deliciosa (my favorite plant that I own) without hurting her long term! Now I feel comfortable to snip off the area that needs it! Thanks, again!

This is amazing!! Thank you!!!

No I didn’t know this and this is great advice thank you so much. A great explanation. I have a few of these plants and I have been cutting any damaged leaves off way too low! Yay thank you than you !

This was great and helpful. Thank you 😊

Thanks, so much, for this! I think I can prune and propagate my monstera with more confidence now.

Thank you for sharing…a few of my monstera leaves were sunburned and this was helpful

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed.

This is very helpful! Thanks for showing us!

OMG thanks so much, I didn't know that - and I just bought my first baby monstera :) glad I found your video ❤

Thank you! Great video!

Thank you, this helped me so much

Thank you sooo much for this video!!

Thank you, great to the point video.

Thanks! I didn't know this before!

Thanks a million! I need to prune mine and have no idea where to start.🙂

Hugely helpful, thabj you

Thanks. I didn’t know that, thanks for the video!

Thank you! This is exactly the video I needed to see! I can cut my damaged leaf stem with confidence now!

Thx for this detailed vid.

Glad I found this video thank you!

Thanks for this! ❤️

FABULOUS!!!

Thanks. Informative and to the point :)

The best video ever i see thanks for your information

Thank you! I hope you share more tips about Monsteras.

I moved back in July and during the half hour my plants were in my car my monstera got burnt on a lot of its leaves. I was hoping it'd get better without me cutting off its beautiful large leaves that I've grown so proud of but I realized that though my plant wasn't "acting" sick her growth rate was reduced with the damaged leaves. I'm glad I found this video, I did cut off the leaves exactly as you showed and I'm confident she'll be her beautiful bushy self again in no time. She was a self bought mother's day gift from my at the time 8 month old daughter. I got a 8 pack of random live plants off Amazon with no labels and she was one of the ones that flourished. Out of the 8 I only have 2 of them left for to my lack of knowledge about the plants. They were all only about 4 inches in height and I had no idea I even had a monstera till the holes started assisting in her leaves. At first I thought I somehow messed up but upon closer inspection I realized they were naturally forming and was finally able to identify her. The other one is what I call my Arrowhead plant and then I had an asparagus fern that was amazing but she sadly did not make the car ride from Arizona up to Minnesota. It was just too dry in the car for her to last the 4 days of the trip. My other 2 pacts in that car ride were my spider plants (originaly came ss one plant but turned into twins) and I had my aunt look after them but she accidently over watered and they got root rot so my monstera and my Arrowhead mean a lot to me. Their the only plants I've kept alive over 3 years so far. My Arrowhead also Walmart came close to dying but mostly because my cats decided she made a comfortable bed and broke her stems to nubs. I just kept watering her even though I thought it was a lost cause and new stems and leaves are coming out of the old trunk and even the soil and they're growing pretty fast. Sorry for the long comment, I just really found a passion in my plants and I feel pride in how I've been able to grow them with basically no knowledge on their care from little 4 inch sprouts that was barely even recognizable from the beautys they grew into. I've had many plants in the past before and on average they lasted about a month before withering and dying

Great tip. Thanks

Thank you so much!!!

Great information thanks

Thank you for this

Thank for ur share. Its really heplfull

Thank you very much for this video. I'm late to indoor plants, and I purchased a sad Monstera with twisted - sad leaves. Your video will help me to cut her back to hopefully give her a fresh start🤞🪴

Great video and very informative,

Thank u! 💚

thank you!

Thank you so so much. My monstera caught a rust fungus infection and I had to hack the poor girl. This was very clear and easy to follow.

TY!

just picked up a huge one from home depot that needs some TLC, this is very helpful!

Thankyou

Thanks

I am singing your praises!! Just as natalieayala1584, below said, NO ONE showed, in detail, how to prune a monstera. They would say 'You cut at the stem.' Where's the stem?!? Or they would say I'm going to cut here and they would be at the back of the plant with the camera in front back a ways. Really?! Still doesn't show me where to cut the plant. Thank you so much for your detailed instructions along with the camera close up so we can see what you're doing!! You know how to teach people. Thank you, thank you!!!

Thanks to you. I new to plants. Stuck swiss cheese plant in to sun while going away for weekend. If it weren't for ignorance I'd have no intelligence. Anyway, came back to poor burnt plant. Your video helped tremendously!! Thank you.

I'm so happy I found you! Great info! Can you cut down the small leaves that didn't fenestrate when pruning? Thanks!

Following now due to just finding this video. Im here for it 🤚🤚🤚

Best video homegirl

Thank you!! I had to move my big plant closer to my heater vent over the winter because of new furniture and some of the leaves got soooo crispy. I just pruned her up and she’s looking gorgeous again! Question - can those burnt leaves you just cut off be propagated? Or does it need to be cut below the new leaf uterus (this is what I’ve decided to call it) in order to root?

Great info. My Monsterda is very leggy. How do I make it bushy like the one shown in this video?? And how do I keep it short

Great video! I have a question I’ve been having trouble finding the answer to. When I propagated my monstera cutting a year ago, I was a newbie to the hobby. I unfortunately allowed the water to cover the petiole on 2 out of 3 stems on my cutting. This unfortunately permanently damaged it to the point it will not produce any new leaves. The one stem where the petiole was not submerged is growing beautifully. My question is, can I cut off the two leaves not producing below their damaged petiole, and will my plant grow a new stem that will produce leaves?

Thank you so much for your video! I just realized what I did before was totally wrong! And as you instructed, I cut the damage leaf right before the new little nub. But it has been a month and it's still not growing. Am I going to lose it?

Question: (I’m very new to gardening and I had 2 monsteras that were delivered to me, but left in the sun for a couple of hours and were burnt before I could bring them in the house). Everything I read said you needed to prune the damaged leaves. Little did I know you could cut the wrong leaf and stop the growth of future leaves (now I know thanks to your video!) My question is: since some of the leaves WERE cut (that would have gone on to produce more leaves in the future), how can I save my monsteras and get them to grow more leaves? Thank yo u for your help!

Is it okay to cut the littlest ones (probably the first leaves) all the way to the soil if the stems get broken from kids/husbands moving/running into it etc? 😬

Great video. I have a question. On my plant the newest leaf was damaged and fell off, so there are no new nodes for a new leaf to come out of. Is there a chance new leaves can grow from somewhere else?

Hi from the Philippines! I have my very first Monstera Deliciosa damaged as that with its leaves yellowing around the corners. May I ask once you prune it, how long does it take for the new leaf to develop? Btw thank you very much for the video! This truly helps!

Thank you for the video!! 💚 i just got a monstera about a month ago and some of the leaves got dark spots due to underwatering ( i was away for a while). If I don't prune the leaves that are damaged , will it affect the rest of the plant? xx

Hi.. Great video! Does the area where u cut off the damaged leave turn black? I cut mine and its turned black after a few hours. Should I be worried?

What did you do about the smaller leaves growing from the soil? My monstera has a few that are damaged but I’m not sure whether to cut them or remove them from the soil completely.

how do you propagate if I can't find any nodes on my monstera? Mine somehow looks like this, when one stem comes out from another but no nodes.

❤

Thanks, I bought a deliciosa on clearance that had some ripped damaged leaves. Not burnt or dried out or anything just not the prettiest leaves. Do you suggest cutting these off or leave them there? If I do cut the stems will the stems continue to grow or do they just become stubs?

I was really looking forward to my first propagation. If I cut as close to the base as possible, will that negatively effect new growth?

Hello i am from india.... Can you make video in which you show...... From where cut the damage leaf (burn, black spot) so that new leaf could grow..... Please reply.....

💚

When pruning if there’s just a small sun spot can I cut out the spot or do I have to remove the entire leaf

So sorry about your plants 😞 I don't have one but great information, I have a plant that does grow like that but much smaller.

Do I prune the new leaves on the bottom that are small and don’t have and fenagrarions yet?

Hi there i wanted to ask i jus got the monstera and unfortunately i broke a leaf now wanna know can u grow that leaf in water need help thankyou.

👋🏼 Hi! I'm new to plants so please excuse my ignorance. I cut my leaf but it turned a dark color at the top where I cut it. Is that normal?? I cut an arrowhead plant and it did the same thing. I can't find anything to tell me if I messed up or not 😢

Do you have to put anything where you made the cut?

My monsters has been bitten by some slugs and it doesn’t look appealing should I prune it ? Will it grow back ?

Perfect 🇸🇦💋💋💋💋💋💋

I accidentally lost all the new leaves of my monstera and all I got now are the non-pregnant leaves. How am O gonna get new growth?
