I could’ve let this monstera live in water forever but I decided to make the switch. For this soil mix, I’m using @solsoils house plant mix -use code PlantsKrystal10 for 10% off. The most common question was, why did I chose to not just break apart the root ball? If you look closer, you may see the crispy leaves, there were some stems with discoloration, and the remaining leaves were not forming well. So I made the decision to start again, regrow the roots, and watch it’s progress. I love trying different ways to grow my rescues! When transitioning from water to soil, the first two weeks, (with a well draining mix) keep the soil moist. That will help the plant acclimate to its different environment.

My husband would get mad at me bc I kept buying "dead" plants. But now he knows I'm rescuing yet another plant.

Its the "AYUDAME" for me 😅

A $2 orchid came home with me a few days ago because of this channel, and it’s been a real comfort to me. It’s been a really rough year, culminating in my father’s death a few weeks ago. The last three years my father battled dementia. It was utterly soul crushing to navigate the pandemic with small children and a father who was my best friend becoming a ghost of himself. We lost him at the end of April and while I thought I would feel relief that his suffering was over, I was not ready for how huge the grief has been. This channel has been a comfort to me. Then shopping at Kroger I saw a $2 orchid on clearance. After buying a stand, a pot, from Goodwill, the succulent repotting tools from your Amazon store (I have the poking tool now!)some orchid soil from Kroger my $2 orchid became a $30 orchid. But I set it up and have been caring for it. I feel like I did it wrong. Like I both cut off too many roots but also left too many white ones. But a week later it’s still alive. It has brought me so much joy, and is this subtle reminder that if I can value and care for a $2 orchid, I should also value an care for myself. Even if I feel like I have rot in my heart right now, it’s treatable. I just need some nutrients and light. So thank you. ❤

The “ayúdame” 😭😭💀😂 girl I have no business owning plants (just have cat grass and a pothos I think) but I love your channel ❤

The unhealthy obsession I have with monsteras now because of your channel brings peace to my life😂

Your use of the people's elbow will always be one of my favorite moments from your videos.

LMAO the "AYUDAME" takes me outtttttt 😭😭

Fun fact Mosteras actually have a front and a back to their vine! If you look at the nodes you'll see the aerial roots all come from one side of the stem and the leaves continue on the other side. When repotting, especially if you're trying to stake it up to grow vertical, you don't want to go by the direction the leaves are facing because they'll twist any direction to find the sun. You want to determine the direction of the petioles and if there are aerial roots formed, place them against the wood or moss. Happy planting!

Thanks to you I find myself saying "drown that ho" out loud while watering my plants :)

Ayúdame! 😂😂😂😂😂 You are the best Krystal!😊❤

Under your influence, I did my first repot tonight. My kindergartener brought home two baby bean stalks and they stayed alive despite me being the one taking care of them. Tonight each stalk got its own pot. It’s so nerve wracking separating out the roots! 😬

I've seen this vid so many times since Krystal posted and is the "ayudame" that cracks me up😂😅😂😅😂😂

"what in the ramen noodles!" Lol

Girl, I saw a monstera with 2 leaves left at Walmart it was discounted $10. Like no mam 😂😭.

Love the people’s elbow. Never gets old 😂 🤣

THAT ELBOW LOOKED PERSONAL! 😂 Thank you for saving so many of our Flora friends!

Thanks for always sharing your awesomeness w/ us! Stealing: "what in the Ramen Noodle"😂

So glad im not the only one busting out the people's elbow 😅

I absolutely LOVE your personality and vibe! Great plant tips also. my plant babies and I appreciate you!

"HELP ME" girl I'm CRYING

The people’s elbow 😂

Afew weeks ago i found 3 fresh from the seed baby monsteras all in the same pot for £2.50 all together. I had been wanting more monsteras to help make my current one more bushy and oh boy, knowing how quickly and how big they can grow those three little babys felt like a personal GIFT 🙌🙌

El “ayúdame” jajajajajaja 😂

An elbow maneuver like a luchadora

I Love the elbow drops and when you start speaking in tongues!

Your videos have been so extremely helpful in building my confidence to have indoor plants, thank you! Got inspired, and literally just got back from buying my own lil monstera.

The way I cackled when you shouted ayúdame!!!

you are so cute and funny, you make me laugh when i am sad! love you keep going ❤

Ever since seeing your monsteras I’ve been in love with them. I now have 2 juvenile plants after my last mature one unfortunately succumbed to frost and rotted. And this week I got a cutting of Albo which is propping in moss so that takes my monstera collection up to 3!

Just want you to know that I love seeing your videos everyday.

"What the ramen noodles..!" 😂 I totally thought they looked like udon noodles!

You had me at "what in the Ramen Noodle"

I have an Asparagus Meyeri who had cemented himself in his pot like that. No bloody way to separate those roots! It was like a stone in the shape of a pot. I ended up sawing it in half, with a big wood saw... And planted each half in an other pot. They were grateful for the scission!

i love your updates cause I have watched literally everything and I immediately recognize which plant your talking about❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Bless this channel for giving me the confidence to break apart root balls, i used to just replant them in a bigger pot or area still rootbound and hope it sorted itself out lmfao I live in a small town in canada and almost everything in the garden centres shows up barely even sprouted with next to no roots or basically rootbound already

I'm happy to see they trived 🥰

We need more people like youuuu girl, the number of people that don't want to buy a plant bc it isn't perfect is ridiculous!! Just shows they don't have what it takes to nurture it!! I personally feel so proud when i Breathe Life into them ❤️ no better feeling!

You absolutely crack me up, "drown that hoe"🤣🤣🤣❤

The "Ayudame" got me 😂

“The people’s elbow” 🤣🤣

Omg! The last elbow strike was awesome! 💪🏻

omfg i’m so excited to see this progress when it gets bigger!! ❤

Have you done a video on how to get discounted rescue plants? I see the sad shriveled plants at the big box stores but same ridiculously high price 😮

The people's elbow lmfao 😂

*screams for help in Spanish* I laughed so hard I almost cried 😂

They say monsteras like to be in tight pots but I kept my original in its own pot and grew cuttings in various sized pots. Every single new plant (and the original) are competing for who grows the fastest.

You say monstera like an old country farmer from the south and it’s so funny and cute lmfao “mahnsterrrra”

love your videos, gives me confidence

😂" Ayúdame!!!"

Not the “Jesus Christ, ayúdame!!”🤣🤣

My giant Monstera had roots like that (got it a few months ago) couldn’t loosen them so repotted in a 2 inch larger with new soil 🤷‍♀️

I really needed to see this. My monstera has been warned that I'm coming for it in the morning! Wish us both luck!

You have such a beautiful smile.

Omg thank you I had that same plan and I’m struggling with her and you help me😅

I wish you could rescue the plants from my house😅😭it’s been a journey so I’m trying again with a snake plant and leaving these heffers be, I think I bother them too much and-like most people-they do not care for me

you're so awesome!!😊😊

You're chistosa I love it!

The way she just 💪

The way you scream help in Spanish has me dying every time😂

She takes care of plants better then I take care of myself-

I love how portable that is haha

I adoreeee youuuuuur content!!!!

I recently bought a philodendron white knight and it lost all it's roots within like a week of me buying it lol and now it's in water and it's regrowing roots and seems to be doing great lol

I'm disappointed the captions say "monstera" and not "monsturra"

Lmao the elbow drop 💀🤣🤣🤣

That was a WWF Elbow right there lol 😂❤

Reminds me of my tiny palm tree, who was going brown on the leaves in the shop... Took him home, pruned the bad leaves off, repotted him and he is now huge 5 years later and going strong. Just shows what a lil love can do for a plant. :3

You heal them all!! What an inspiration! Great! I am learning! Keep it up!! Arribaaaa!! :)

Recently I rescued a 10$ monstera. It looked perfectly fine and since it was my birtday- I decided I deserve another one 😊 Then on my way home I noticed it's damaged (even tho way better than yours was! 😳), so I did my best and tried to give it a ,,makeover". Only a few days later I went on a vacation and my mom took care of it. Right now I'm on my way home and I hope I won't be dissapointed 😊🤞

Love these updates!❤

In India, you can get a good and healthy mostera around $2-$4

I absolutely love doing this. Gardening in general is all I want to do

I’m glad you are updating us on your plant rescues! I always wondered whatever happened to them 🤭 New subby, love your content and bubbly personality 🤗😂

I know this video isn’t newer but omg this is a big help with the baby monsteras I’ve gotten. I’m just trying to do right by them and was worried the water part wouldn’t be right (they’re in leca I was given with the cuts, but I still worry that I’m doing something wrong). I’ll have to see if you’ve got more videos on monsteras so I can further make sure I’m actually doing good! Thank you for this content!

A good way to have a large pot of them when you’re wanting to regrow roots is to get water beads (orbeez) and put them in that to hold them up

I got a monstera a few weeks ago and she is already growing two new leaves. Super happy! And one of them has two fenestrations!

I would love another monstera. Especially one for $5 but yeah look at those roots that say it was rootbound

I love that body slam on the pot

That’s a pretty cover pot 😍

I had a beautiful monstera that was thriving, until one day these tiny orange bugs started crawling around and then it died😭

What about the nodes?? Also what grow lights would you recommend for succulents? Love your videos Krystal

Hope your doin well ❤

Just me. But when I take the time to separate and or propagate. I use only one stem and train it towards the light. And they grow up the bamboo or whatever you use to strap it to, and they grow alot different. But in a good way. They fan out one new leaf at a time and look like a proper plant. Not just a mess of mostera in a pot.

`What in the Raman noodles..?` 😂💀

I still don't have a monstera 😭😭I would die if I found one for five dollars

I love watching you rescue plants. How long did it take you to know what you’re doing when it comes to taking care of plants? Was there a lot of trial & error involved?? (I don’t believe I have a green thumb, but I really want some house plants. I wanna start with a snake plant & the zz plant…but I’m still nervous because idk what I’m doing & I don’t wanna kill them 😬😬.)

How do you get clearance or cheap plants?? I look for them every time I'm in home Depot or Menards or Walmart and I never see anything 😟

Classic Urban Jungle. Pots are always pretty

Why do I remember this plant from the elbow to the pot? BEST EDIT OF 2023!!😂

The "AYÚDAME" jajaj

Where did you buy it? why do all the leaves need to face the same direction? Love your channel!!

I wish i could get you to diagnose my kalanchoes. My lithops, cacti, echeveria, and amaryllis all survived but kalanchoe hate me.

Beautiful!!! Can this be done with elephant ears ??

Cute pot to reuse as well!

I got a 30 cm Monstera Adansonii for 1,99€ today, it was such a steal. I got it at the grocery store, none of the plants had a tag so the cashier was like "1,99€, is that okay?"

I love the ayudame!🤭😅😅❤

Gorgeous ❤❤❤

I love monstera but don’t have the space. An adansonii is on my wishlist 💚

Me encanta cuanto mezclas con el español... I love it
