HAPPY #MONSTERAMONDAY EVERYONE!
For the genuine love of my Monstera Thai Constellation, I decided to create a series of simple plant care videos to help plant parents out there achieve more successful indoor plant growing. I wanted to share the love on what has worked really well for me in simple terms and am always open to new knowledge from all of you! I plan to drop frequent care tip videos on Monstera Mondays and of my ongoing progress. Would love it if you could support and subscribe ☺️. See my first ever video (and I really hope this helps you learn something new!)

Can really advocate for those 2 products - they really help 😊

@simpleplanty 2 года назад

Admittedly I don't water it as often as I should as it dries out real quick (within 2 days I find if I fully drench it) - so I'll usually just wet it when it's time to water my plants. I am so happy you have an MTC, as well! Love it when a new leaf emerges and you get to discover a new pattern 😊

@kj5960 2 года назад

Do you think it would do well in a terracotta pot? if so, should I adjust the soil mix to be a little less chunky and more water retentive or no? Thanks for the informative video

@simpleplanty 2 года назад

Short answer is 'Yes'! Terracotta is actually a great choice as improves your soil aeration - I have seen people use Terracotta for their MTC and it's down to personal preference. The actual key is ensuring that you know how often to water as they are very prone to root rot, but on the other side, Terracotta may dry it out at a faster rate and you could find yourself underwatering. The direct tip here is you need to be continually checking at the start to ensure you find the right balance of when to water - I would personally still keep my soil mix to be quite chunky (but it actually really depends on your climate/location). Hope that helps!

Hi! Ill be getting my thai in 2 months it was just freshly imported and the seller is acclimating for me, ive never had a thai but i have lots of finicky rare plants is the care relatively the same? Should i let it really really dry out before watering? and is my ikea greenhouse which keeps 70% humidity a good place for it? it is rooting in moss so when i get it how long should i keep it in moss before i transfer to soil and how do i water in the moss? Just like i would soil?

@simpleplanty 2 года назад

Hi Tayla! Sorry for the delayed reply - sounds like a great plan putting it in the IKEA greenhouse, it'll love you for it! With regards to watering it in moss, try not to overly drench the moss for risk of root rot as the moss retains quite a bit of water. When I water my plant propogations that are in moss, I try to ensure the water drains quite through to the bottom of the drainage holes and am just a little bit more careful when watering. It depends on how well it's rooting before transferring it over to soil (ie number of weeks before I usually transplant after seeing a healthy root system form). Hope that helps! ☺️🌱

Hallo, I'm beginner, How to plant Thai constellation with new and fresh roots? I appreciate your advice thank you.. Best regards Leny

@simpleplanty 3 года назад

Hi Leny! Welcome to my channel! How were your rooting your Thai constellation? If it's ready and grown an extensive root system, start planting it into a well aerated soil mix, I provided my recommendation in video. For roots that have been propogated in water, highly reccomend that the soil is moist when transferred (I personally have experienced it taking a long time to take off because they are used to the water). If you really want it to take off, I have seen reports of grow lights on for 12 hours a day at least will help facilitate cuttings to grow well! Hope that helps :)

@simpleplanty 2 года назад

@hleethao1542 2 года назад

Hi!! Thank you for the video, but will direct sun burn the leaves?? The variegated parts? I live in Texas I’m wondering if the weather will be too hot or the sun too strong to leave outside during the warm months?

@simpleplanty 2 года назад

Hi! In my personal experience, it depends on how long the direct sunlight exposure is for and when (and whether your plant has adapted to it). For example, mine gets 1-2 hours of direct sunlight (but is located indoors) in the morning when the sun isn't as harsh (in comparison to afternoon direct sun rays). However, I've seen people grow Thai's outdoors which is subject to direct sunlight (as they have acclimated to the environment). My reccomendation is to err on the safe side - if it's direct morning sun for a couple hours, should be fine ☺️🌱 hope that helps!

Hey James, do you have much problem with root rot? For some reason they just rot like there is no tomorrow for me, and most of the time they already had root rot when they first arrived. I’m so done with them I feel like I’m being punished for the wrongs I haven’t even done :(

@simpleplanty 2 года назад

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that! I absolutely know what you mean by being prone to root rot, so I'm especially careful - do you have an aerated soil mix or substrate? I make sure my soil mix is especially airy so that the water drains through quite well (but still allowing a bit of retention to feed the plant). I notice the roots that have escaped the bottom drainage hole rot from time to time when the excess wells up, so I know the thai is especially prone!

@lobsnbuns2705 2 года назад

@@simpleplanty hey thanks for your input ur awesome. I do use my own mix but a lot of the time I feel the rot happens when they even arrive at my home. The soil mix they arrive in usually is not airy enough and I found rot before I even did my first watering. I have 3 of these TC and they are established but still fairly young. On of them I received and waited for few weeks and no growth happening at all, so I pull it out and found rot. The second one I have I pulled it out the next day I received it and found rot already happening. The only good one I have I found no rot so I transferred it to my own airy mix and just crossing my fingers and toes. The de rotting process is an endless battle too, no matter how I cut and disinfect them I ended up almost stripping it bare and have to start rooting from square 1. If these one don’t survive then I’m done with them. My other philodendrons are growing healthily in the same condition. I just can’t seems to get the hang of TC, which most ppl say is very low maintenance 🤦‍♀️

How often do you wipe down Thai leaves?

@simpleplanty 2 года назад

Hi Maya! As a general guide, you should wipe them down every couple of weeks. Warning, long story ahead - as I opened my phone, I coincidentally saw this comment after I was wiping my Thai because my Thai has been struck with spider mites (I probably was wiping every 1-2 months, so now I'm paying the price). I've now been unfortunately been wiping it down every 2 days in the evenings with vitality plus to control these pests. Lesson learnt - wipe more often as a precautionary measure, because when you do these frequent wipe downs, you're preventing it from pests and allowing it stronger chance to grow as dust accumulates on the leaves. Hope that helps!
