Albo Adansonii used to be my favorite plant, until I got multiples of them and they all turned white over time for me. It got to a point where I fell out of love with it. I settled for mint adansonii's, and hasn't given me trouble.

Brad the cat has definitely very nice variegations also and always shows up when the camera is rolling on !

About 1.5 years ago, these single leaf cuttings were $1,000+ in Korea. 😂 Now you can find them for $50. I was given a mint Asansonii (single leaf) as a gift for purchasing another plant.

Hmm, thats interesting. I had one that reverted to fully white too and after two fully white leaves, she started to push them out fully white and over ~1-2 months they got kind of mint-ish (so there was definitely some chlorophyll in there) and thrived like that.

Nice surprise. I thought you'd be too busy to film for a while. Great video, thanks Jan. Something we all needed to see. Amazing that it kept pushing out those new white leaves. I'm going to resist the temptation for now. Wonderful to see your channel growing so well, especially given you don't even ask for likes, subs, memberships etc.

Check where the auxiliary buds are, you can predict the variegation based off of the colouration of this area of the stem

I laughed out loud at "can't be arsed".....doesn't get more Aussie than that, you're one of us now!

Congrats on 100k subs, Jan!

🤣 the shears did NOT want to be recorded today lol thanks for sharing 💚

Sydney Plant Guy and a cat name Brad 🪴😺 my two favourite RU-vidrs. 100k! Congratulations and extra hearts! 💛💚💖

🎉 100k!! Happy growing!! I am truly glad you shared this video with us and the guidance you provided.

Don't give up. I've had a spathiphyllum Ishimi from a tiny seedling and it's grown mainly white. I've had her for four years now and it's stunning. It looks like lace from a few metres away. They all deserve the chance of survival.

I’m imagining that it took a lot of time and effort to complete this video on your end but I thoroughly enjoyed watching the full process from start to finish in the one short video. Thanks

Hallo Jan, genau 100k. Herzlichen Gückwunsch!🏆 Mehr als verdient, aber doch überraschend schnell. Bin gespannt wann du die 200k knackst.🌱

Congrats on blowing past 100k subscribers...! Well deserved. You have become *the* RU-vid authority on growing large aroids on a moss pole. So happy to have found your channel.

Wow that monstera grew a lot in 7 weeks. Thanks for showing us the video update, very helpful to see. I want to do the the same with a monstera plant but I want half of it to go into water and half to stay in soil.

Oh wow 100k! 🎉 congratulations Jan and Brad 😁💚

I learnt a lot from this video, thanks Jan 🤩💚

Great video. Its nice to be able to see the whole process in one video and not have to wait.

very good video, thanks for sharing your struggles and lessons

I love the way you turned it around😂. As always, thanks for sharing!

This is very useful information Jan thank you.

Great lesson. While I love the variegated look, I'm not interested in spending $ on a plant that could totally revert or go all white. Thx also for not editing out the scissor drop, that was a fun moment lol

You can do it 👍🏽👍🏽 congrats 👏🏽🎉 on your 100k💚🌱🌿💚

Congratulations on reaching a 100k🎉🎉 Really appreciate Allen the time and effort you put into the videos! I experienced that with a syngonium Albo,I mean it looks stunning,,but lucky it was a bigger plant and I had to chop it all up to go back to stable variegation! I,m glad you didn’t edit out that funny bit,it’s even funnier that you didn’t skip a beat! 🤣🤣🤣 Natalie

Congratulations!!! Wow 100k!

My albo is doing the same thing. Bought as two leaves… predominantly green but now I’m 🌕. I’m glad I watched bc I’ve been itching to chop, but I think I’m going to wait

Congratulations on 100K!!! 🎉🍾 and thank you for not editing out the shears drop 🤣 I had to rewind that a few times. Thank you for the laugh!! And another laugh when Edward Scissor Hands made an appearance 🤣 love this video!

try keiki paste it can save the plant

holy crap congrats on 100k!!!!

❤I love you ... originally from Canada but now live 10:23 in Columbia SC. I'm a world traveler. I have a beautiful butterfly garden and venture out into Monstera's and all of super huge plants you are schooling me on! You don't know me and you probably don't care...but, I love you and I thank you for everything I have learned.

Mine was like this too for a year till i change my soil mix to somewhat rich but still well draining. I put cow manure in it and some potting mix and now it is giving me a lot of green😄

Congrats on you 100K🥳🥳🤩 I have a M. Standleyana that put out 5 white leaves an then a leaf with green an white. I saw a video where M. Albos totally white cut back back an it’s a new color of Monstera Albo. Sean’s Only Plants I think is where I saw it. 💚

i had same issue with my adansonii albo. so i follow your advice and trick. give up and get a new one 🤣. thanks for this video.

I remember back in 2019 that I really wanted this plant but after seeing the reverts and all that hassel, no thanks! Great video!

thank you for sharing 🌱 and congrats on 100K subs 💚

Congratulations on 100k🎉🎉🎉 I learn something new from every video you do. Thank you 🙏 😊😊😊

Thank you for this vidéo 💚🇫🇷🙏🌿

Always love your videos

Glad to show this video to my wife, explaining how I "saved" 4000€ that I now can invest in other plants (and growlights... so that I'm I interested in. Perhaps yoy can do a colab with someone using lots of different kinds?)

I once have a problem like that with my adansonii albo..the solution I came up with for that is by giving it more natural sunlight it may start white or yellow but if you give it more sunlight the leaves will develop more green eventually. It's just base on my experience but maybe you can try to...by the way I love all your plants especially the P. Glorious, good luck with the adansonii

Congratulations on 100K !!🥳🥳🥳

Thanks Jan 😀

Hi really love this video! Its super informative and helpful! I was wondering what mic are you using? The quality sounds very nice

Congratulations on 100K!

Very informative 👏

My adansonii mint variegated has very stable variegation and is pretty!

Ouch! Same thing happened to mine- got a new one as well! ❤ how you pre shut your videos - awesome to see the progress ( or not 🤣) right away

Grats 🎉 to 100 k 🌱

the internet says you can control variegation to a degree with the amount of light the plant gets. In your case it would be reduce it drastically.

Many plant enthusiasts I know who own Monstera Adansonii Var have their plants turned all white. Mine has turned white and at one point, I propagated them into a few different pots. One of the pots turned out to have its variegation come back with 70% green and 30% white. But then it couldn’t retain in the long run and it has now turn back to all green. It was one of my most pricey plants when I bought it about a year ago and thus I am not giving up on them just yet😅. I am trying all that I could to bring it back😊. By the way, I am writing this from Malaysia.

I got my cutting for 40 a few weeks ago, rooted and new shoot on the way

Je ne comprends pas tout ce que vous dites, les finesses de votre langue, mais vois que vous faites vraiment au mieux. Bravo ! Même blanche à 99%, la plante est superbe 😉

I bought my variegated Adansonii back in 2020 when it cost 1500€ for a 4 leaf plant. Guess what happened when I propagated it after it turned white after only 8 leafs. 6/8 propagations came out completely white from the beginning... And the 2 that didn't I was able to propagate a dozen times and I still own a piece of them today with the most beautiful variegation.

I'm just shocked how fast the plants are growing for you :D I have my Adansonii for 2 months and it legit only gave me 1 new leaf. But are you getting like 8 leaves in 1 month, that's just insane 😂 Loved the video, hope your new cutting will do better :)

I got one of these and it's literally left with 1 full white leaf. I'm gonna cut the leaf and hope it wakes the plant up to start shooting new leaves

This same thing is happening to me with my variegated Alocasia. I bought 2 large beautiful established plants with mottled leaves, and when I repotted them and collected some corms to grow and sell, 80% of the corms are growing fully white leaves. It's making me so mad 🤣

I've been growing one from a single node cutting since August and I have no clue what affects its growth. Bought as a bit of a gamble for 10 euros, it started with an all green leaf. It is since pushing out its 3rd variegated leaf that comes out all cream and slowly turns more green starting at the veins. I suspect it to be the archipelago variety, but will need to confirm as it grows, so far it seems to have excellent genetics, living on room temperature and humidity between 50 and 70%. A much slower grower than the regular green one, but I would recommend the archipelago, if that's what mine is :)

Hi jahn! Ever thought of doing a pop up for your fans all over the world? That would be great!!!

I bought one leaf rooting, the first leaf it put out was white, I cut it off. Hopefully the next leaf will be variated. 😮

Ah this video just popped up as a suggestion just when i have the same 'issue'. Thank you

Ever tried giving an over variegated plant chelated iron with the fertilizer? Perhaps this might help green it up?

I feel the same way about variegation. For me,it's too much of a hassle/stress. I have only a few, less expensive variegated plants

Yes too much of a gamble for $500+ so I’m right there with you. Some grow great, others not so much.

Congratulations bro❤ can you please do a video on the grow lights you are using.

variegation isn't random! the more light you provide the less green the plant needs on it for photosynthesis. if you want more green you should give it a bit less light

I've got a smaller white princess and one of the growth points is pushing out all white leaves. The other two points have a decent amount of green though so I'm just gonna let it go for now

Jan...😍 I really love watching this video because it becomes my first experience to know an experiment like this.💖😊. By watching your video I can get your experience and your advice!.. I think, both of these Monstera Adansonii are beautiful.. The white one is unique!.. and the variegata one is pretty!.. Hopefully, the white one can grow its new white leaves and become bigger. And the variegata one can be mature when you grow it on the moss pole. I appreciate it!.😊.I look forward to watching your videos about your new experiments! (from small plants)👍.. At home I'm facing a curiousity. The leaf color of my Anthurium Faustino Giant is different. Of the 16 seedlings ( which are still cute and tiny ) that are emerging from the ground, there are 5 ones that appear white ( the stems and the leaves are white like the color of your white Monstera Adansonii ). I already have one with a mature size (green Anthurium) so I'm curious now...Could it be that the white color of the stems and the leaves since they were very tiny is a sign that my Anthurium will become white?.. This is my first experience, so I'm so happy to know their growth later.. Jan...😊Thank you soo much for everything!.. I'm soo proud of you!.❤️.. Happy 100 K subscribers!!..👏👍😊..and I love you, Brad 😻👏 CONGRATULATIONS!!!!...👏🙌🎉💞❤️💐🌸🥰💚🤗😊🎉..

Can you do a video on variegation please

I have an adansonii with one half green, half white, and then it shot out 3 100% whites, no green in the stem. I think im just going to cut it and hope for the best. The original cutting stem is nice.

My next step after all the cuts died would be to de-pot, cut every root off and cut into nodes assuming there are a few nodes below the soil line. I put the nodes in moss in a prop bin. If no growth after that then I would call it quits. But there’s always hope… :-)

Keep at it 🙂 we love to see the challenge and learning lots. 🪴

Have you tried giving it less light? I have a syngonium albo that completely gave out white leaves, moved it to a low light area, anx somehow managed to bring the green ones back. :) maybe you can do the same!

Im dealing w both the archipielago and the adonsonii both gave me with leaves

please always leave the bloopers in! 🤭

Que linda planta ❤❤

How to achieve huge leaves of your all.plants

This is most beautiful sad thing I’ve seen today.

Though I'm a new plant-person, I simply don't see the value of these plants with almost complete white leaves. I recently got a very small Monstera albo variegata and I'm now hoping it won't be to white, as I simply don't like them. Hope your set up works out

I thought you would be packing! This scares me - i have a variegated albo im terrified this will happen too.

I have an albo syngonium and a variegated maranta that both, constantly throw out white leaves! Also an alocasia macrorrhiza that puts out all white sectoral leaves that melt so I have half brown leaves all the time. I’m so over trying to keep these plants surviving. I spend more time and energy on these plants, than any other plant in my collection…including my calathias!! Plus I have over 200 plants and these plants are a “thorn in my ass”

It's all about the stem and bud points. If that point is white, the leaves will be.

In order to get better verigation you need to cut before the last healthy verigated leaf. Unfortunately you're plant doesn't have another node before the first leaf.

How do you change from a small grow vertical pole to a big one as the plant grows?

Hey l’ve just brought one of these what’s the best way to care for these please cheers Kerry

In the last shot, the variegated plant, on his left side, above the Thai Constellation, what is it for a plant?

This isn’t related at all but I love looking at your plants. Do you happen to have a painted lady philodendron? I have a little baby guy that is thriving and stunning in my subpar care so I wanna see what one could do when it is skillfully cared for 😂😂

hi. new subscriber here. I believe one reason why your adansonii is constantly giving you fully variegated leaves is that it is getting too much sunlight. you may also try to lessen the fertlizer you are feeding it. hope it helps 💚

this guy's plants are so immaculate sometimes I think they're not real.

100k !!!!!

Has anybody got any detailed information on the plastic sheets ? What material is it and what sizes he uses for the regular sized 90cm poles ?

I have had no luck with adansonii, maybe they are too "hybridiated"?

Instead of cutting, move the plant where it can get low light

Is there a way to safe an Alocasia that produces full white leaves? 😰

6:52 I'm wondering why these are more useful for propagation rather than growing a plant, what benefits do the cylindrical poles have over them for actual growing? Thanks :)

If it’s ok to ask where do you buy your sage green backing as l make my own moss poles but atm l only have the clear backing cheer’s Kerry

Make a house tour video of your new apartment plz…..i love ur plants and Brad. I have plants but definitely they don’t look like urs 😢 and have 4 cats. I want tips to grow my plant like yours plzzzzzz

I let a friend who knows a lot about plants like a know it all type of annoying dude repot my adansonii variegated and mint adansonii. He was a bit aggressive on the roots and insisted he wash the dirt before potting. Yep. A week later I was left with 2 very much dead rotting plants. 😔

Nice 👍
