Hi Raina - this comment really made my day! Thanks so much, I'll continue to try my best to keep you all entertained and informed. Have an amazing weekend!

Hi Sandy! Thanks for your comment - super exciting that you've got one and can't wait for yours to grow 😊 Hopefully it flourishes under your care - you got this 💪💚🌱

Hi just a question im in tassie just recently got my thai monstera cuttings with plenty of roots i repotted it into Leca cause im scared that if i put it in soil it well have root rot just like my previous one what can you suggest please!thanks

@@lizasiciban9232 Hi Liza! Thanks for watching - no issues with keeping it in Leca if that's your preferred substrate, just note that Leca itself doesn't contain any nutrients, so if you want to continue leaving this to grow in Leca, you'll have to provide this when watering. You'll need special semi-hydroponics fertiliser for this which you could probably acquire from the store that you got your Leca from. Also, it sounds like you've recently transferred this from Leca, so I don't recommend switching the substrate again too soon to prevent stressing the plant. If you wanted to transfer it to another substrate later, remember it will take time to adjust again. Sad to hear you had root rot on your previous one! If you originally planted it in a really chunky soil mix, this could have helped!

No worries Chris! Glad I could help - enjoy your TC and weekend! :)

How exciting Jacqueline! TC's are so exciting - you never know what sort of leaf pattern they'll give you next ☺️ enjoy!

Mine's coming home today. I can't believe it !

@@southofthesticks I'm so excited for you!!! 🤩

It's quite interesting how sensitive the MTC is to root rot huh! It could have initially been your substrate being quite dense - but no worries, once it's settled you'll see some new growth ☺️🌱

Plant friends are the best kind of friends - when I was younger I always wanted to move to Berlin! Would have fit right in there 😊

No worries Rhi! Glad I could come to the rescue 🛟

Thankyou so much for the support! Real appreciated ☺️ love my MTC 🌱🌱

I hope you can get one monstera thai as well one day! Let me know if you ever do! Really appreciate you supporting and watching my videos! ☺️🌿🌱

@@simpleplanty I will thank you🙂 can you pls. do a garden tour in your favourite shop where you buy all your plants? If its ok! TIA

@@missa6782 absolutely! We are currently in lockdown here in Sydney, so once it's all over I will put that on my list of videos to make. Appreciate the request, I will try my best! ☺️💚🌱

I am so excited for you! 🤩 I can't wait for it to grow for you - I still get overjoyed to this day when I see a new leaf pop out 🤭 Hope yours flourishes and thankyou for watching 💚🌱

@@simpleplanty Thank you so much! Of all the monstera videos I've watched, yours are the best. Its truly wonderful seeing the excitement in your face when you talk about your plants. Take care, and I'll give you updates! :) Oh you're very welcome too! I love watching all of your videos.

@@StormyAfterDark that really means a lot to me! I just recently bought another variegated monstera and I'm just over the moon about it - I was getting really excited over the aerial roots that began to shoot yesterday and took photos 😂 please let me now how your monstera goes - I would love to hear 😊💚🌱

​@@simpleplanty Thank you so much! :) Congratulations on your new variegated monsteara. Can't wait to see more of your videos! I was looking at soltech grow lights also, so in the future will get one for my Thai when it gets bigger. I have a small grow light that I have my baby about 23 inches away from so the leaves won't get scorched. My main windows face North, and my bedroom is southwest. But I'm on the coast of Oregon, and have super high humidity all the time since we are in a temperate rainforest climate. I'm very lucky for that! I always keep at least one window open enough to pull all of that humidity in my apartment, and its usually around 65 to 73 degrees in here. You have awesome emoji's and for the life of me I can't find those lol. I'm getting two juvenile monstera deliciosa's also (sp) in the next couple of weeks. Looking forward to that too! I'll have a jungle in here.

@@StormyAfterDark Thankyou so much! And congratulations on your Thai and your prospective two juvenile monstera's! They're going to grow like crazy from what it sounds like, since the conditions in your home sound amazing! 😊 I used to live in Singapore where the humidity was high and would have been perfect for plants! I'm always in awe when I travel to places with high humidity and see plants just thriving on the side of the road 😂 I do think my emoji game is quite strong 🤭 I've also got some lights that I've repurposed as grow ones, but I get enough light luckily in my apartment that I've decided not to use them. Is your Thai your new favourite? 🌱

Thankyou Myrtus! Hope you are keeping safe, wherever in the world you are! Appreciate you watching ☺️🌿

Thank you very much. 😀

@@Myrtuscommunis no worries, glad I could entertain ☺️🌿 hope your plants are thriving, too!

🌱🌱🌱😊

Thankyou for supporting - hope you are well and that your plants are thriving too ☺️🌱

Mines north east and I get plenty of morning and all day sun! You might want to be a little careful with the direct west afternoon sun as it's a little harsher (but you've got the thin white roller to diffuse which should be okay). I don't have any grow lights and it's been doing very well ☺️ do you have the diffuser down all the time? If you're bothered to be rolling it up and down, it'd be better if it was only diffusing while the 'direct' afternoon light is hitting your plant on days where you can. Hope that helps!

@@simpleplanty Which is the best Month to progagate the Thai Constalation in Central Coast Sydney, thank you !

@@jeanithpf Spring/Summer definitely, as that's when the plant is its strongest!

Thankyou so much for watching! Hope it helped 😊🌱 have a great weekend!

Hi Ramira - I usually just give it an hour in room temperature to callous over and then water propogate it. Hope that helps! 😊🌱

Hi Sarah! Congrats on your purchase - hope my video helped 🙂 how wonderful that you have variegation - that's the beauty, you'll never know exactly what you'll get next! 😊🌱

I mean, It seems to be how thevplant progresses. They seem to get creamier as they mature

Hi Bron! Yep, they're pretty prone to root rot, I even notice that if I leave too much water in my saucer then some of the escaping bottom roots will quickly rot 😅 Honestly, substrate is down to personal preference as there are pros and cons with each - just ensuring that you're not overwatering with the substrate that you select is key (and understanding when you need to water). I'm sure you're well versed to gauge through experience with your other plants 😊🌱

@@simpleplanty thanks for your quick response and yep killed 16 of my hoya converting to pon in past two months due to not knowing if i was underwatering or overwatering. i want to check my new thai roots but you say to let it sit for a couple weeks before doing anything.....

@@bronwolff6335 no worries - I mean I personally try not to disturb when bringing it home straight away, just to be safe but if you're able to gently remove it from the pot (perhaps press on the outskirts of the pot to loosen the substrate), you can have a look at it safely 😊
