Adding water directly from fishtank to the vase will allow them to grow at crazy speed, without the need for fertilizer. If algae begins to grow on the vase, add a single snail; it will consume the algae and release the nutrients back into the water. A single bladder snail can keep a 1-2L vase clean. A small neurite can easily handle 2-3 gallons, but are a lot more expensive and finicky. On another note, monsteras grown entirely in water for some reason have a MUCH higher resistance to root shock. We recently removed 17lb of roots from our main aquarium monstera (6 leaves, each over 2' in length). This accounted for almost 100% of the roots in the water; after 1 week, we have at least 8 or 9 new roots sprouting, and the only sign of shock to the leaves was the release of defensive liquids (the same sort that release when you're trimming a monstera). We needed to reset and contain the new roots so they don't take over the entire aquarium again, so this was an experiment. If you have a monstera NEXT to an aquarium, you can set up a single button passthrough pump (brings water into the monstera vase, and pulls an equal amount of water back out and into the aquarium, no physical water changes necessary). Just hit the button every week

I have never heard of a pass through pump! I have many plants either in or next to my aquariums… will have to try this!!
@GoodkatNW7 ай бұрын
@tierneylogan5943 pass through may be the wrong verbiage, but it's just two pumps (one in each tank) wired to the same switch, and and identical GPM outputs. One brings water in, the other pumps it out. 30 seconds once a week and you're done. Plants feed off the "dirty" water, cleaned water goes back in tank. Pothos and monstera seem to really suck nitrates, so it reduces water change frequency in the aquarium, and makes it much easier to control root growth! You also don't ever need to move the plant vase to empty or refill, provided the pump inlet is in the bottom to suck up decayed matter etc

I have found that using plain stones in water has lead to stinky, sulfur smelling, root killing conditions very rapidly unless you change the water very frequently, which for a large plant, is a pain. The best system I have tried is to use pots with drainage holes, and then put that in a second, closed container. To change the water, you just lift the plant pot out of the bottom pot and let it drain while changing the water in the bottom pot. Make that bottom pot opaque, and you get no algae.

Yes, Monstera do great in water! My experience with putting the Monstera stems underwater is they eventually rot. So I try to keep the stem above the water, like how people recommend to keep the stems above the soil, and that seems to help. I know they don't immediately rot when underwater, but I've had enough cuttings rot even just a couple weeks underwater that I try to avoid submerging more than the roots now.

I started my first propagation project 2 months ago with a Dieffenbachia that had stem rot in a similar fashion. It took 3 weeks to develop first roots and as I left the eight leaves that were already there, one after the other browned and gave its nutrients to the stem cutting to make it survive. Fascinating experience to grow the plant in water, also from the perspective of fertilizing (when/how much). I exchanged the water with pressurized water (oxygen) daily, which is maybe unnecessarily frequent and increased the fertilization stepwise (by measuring the µS conductivity value also daily) once the roots were about 3cm long. A few drops of H2O2 once in a while boosted the oxygen content of the water and disinfected it. Ongoing project, so far so good. The mother plant rearranged its leaves and is well on its way to its former glory. Nothing grows from the stem, though. But it shows increased numbers of shoots from the ground.

For pots that are less easily drained, it might be worth adding some narrow pvc pipe cut at an angle and just a little less than the depth of the pot, afterwards, some rigid aquarium airline could be fed to the bottom of the container and siphoned out without getting a mouthful. A capping stone could then be placed on top of the pvc pipe to hide it whilst being displayed. Just a thought. Thanks for the great video, I’ll use this to make multiple copies of my monstera.

Great video! IMHO the climbers of the Monstera family (adansonii, dubia, peru amongst others) do not like this way of keeping them, but M deliciosa definitely works. BTW, did you know that M deliciosa is called delicious, because it develops a delicious and edible fruit? Do not trust me on that, though! Just saw it in a video. Monstera wants a pH between 6.7 and 7.2, so roughly neutral pH. Tap water in my area has 7.5 and contains relatively much calcium. But Monstera needs a lot of calcium and consumes it and the other good stuff from the fertilizer pretty soon, so that the pH value is lowered rapidly by the plant to even lower than 6. This needs to be checked to keep the plant happy and healthy. I find a pH meter costs little enough to get rid of the strips. Added tap water pushes the pH value up. Downwards is done by the plant itself. pH higher that 7.5 is not good for the plant either. Better to exchange the water, rather than to fiddle with citric acid and stuff. A combined pH/µS (conductivity) meter (or two separate ones) allows to check if the water contains enough food. Monstera in water is happy with 500-1000 µS (also up to 1500 µS is okay) if enough calcium and all the required elements are present. As we cannot know that, values below 500 are the moment to add new fertilized water or to exchange the water altogether. Growing plants in water is in my opinion a great way, because you can see the roots and react if something goes wrong and you can control the growing conditions of the plant. All of that is hardly possible in earth. With mineral media (stones etc.) you can at least measure the water and it looks maybe better than just water.

actually i m thinking about going back to soil really. i got quite deep into hydroponics and stuff but damn... it starts strong and over time you face so many issues and your constantly need to fix things and so much root rot everywhere and i simply cant keep up with the maintenance really. trust me, when people tell you that semi hydroponics is less work, they straight up lie. You need to do so many things from buying a shelf full of water additives and measuring everything and doing ph adjustments all the time, and even adjust ph levels inside the reservoirs alot since they rise if you really want them to thrive. you re becoming more of a scientist and problem solver than a plant parent for the most part. with traditional growing, you have a blueprint and recipe at hand, wich is: the actual plant in nature so you know what a plant wants and you can mimic that. with hydroponics, those plants wont grow in hydropebbles outdoor so you have nothing to reference to at all and if something goes wrong...it keeps adding quickly and you have no clue how to solve problems and you keep doing trial and error until you run out of money of the 20th ''magic water additive you bought for a shitton of money that is supposed to fix your problem'' and what really makes me start to hate it is the weekly plant chore. soil plants kind of manage themselfes in a way and you just go around water every week, done. with semi hydro mixes you have to get every single plant out of their pot to check water level, then bring every single plant into your bathroom one by one to flush and clean the substrate in the shower, then clean the outer pots, then bring all the plants back to where they where and throw the old water away and refresh the nutrient solution. now tell me how you gonne do that with bigger plants? do you want to rearrange plants and run them to the bathroom every week or so? no? can you imagine how time consuming that is? its insane. hydroponics really is only worth it in my eyes if you build some active setup around it wiuth pumps and whatnot that control everything on their own but manually do all of that work for every plant one by one every week... i m not even kidding, but i would need to quit my job to do that. i ll take dealing with some gnats here and there in comparison all day because that stuff takes way less time. semi hydro might work for a handful of plants or for some really sadistic people, or on a mass scale under a sterile and controlled lab enviroment but for your average living room...its unmanagable if you have a lot of plants.

Few weeks ago I had to repot it because I suspected root rot, but since repotting it, the process of dying just sped up. I'm planning to cut all the top leaves and put them in the glass as a last resort. I honestly want to cry because I don't understand what is the problem. It's impossible to diagnose.
