Chopping up 'PLATINUM MINT' Monstera deliciosa | Propagation Plant Chores 

I love longer videos...I can get more plant chores done without trying to locate the remote every few minutes!

What a gorgeous plant. Send it to me! Hahaha

Not long enough. Double down. 24/7 live feeds are next hahah😂

Monstera grow best when a bit rootbound. Small incremental repotting is all you need, especially if you feed them. I have seen 30 foot tall wild specimens growing in Hawaii out of rocky outcrops with shickingly little soil. I have several large Monstera in my home and growth accelerates once the roots get impacted. I used to put my Monstera in much larger pots when I repotted but I found that they would stop pushing up top growth when I gave them a bigger pot un til the roots expanded into the space. When I added only 1 inch in diameter to the pot, growth was the best. Also, I don't know if you have ever tried aquaponics, but it will push growth very fast, especially in beds of Clay Balls or lava rock with a bell siphon, which fills up and empties out automatically after filling up with the waste water from the fish tank below. I was shocked at how fast plants grew.

that's why I love using the clear pots so much, surprises like this heavy root ball are not happening :D I absolutely adore the Monstera mint, she is so beautiful 🤍💚 I really like your longer videos, but I am happy about every video you are uploading :D have a great day

I’ve just discovered your channel, while tending to my own plants. Definitely enjoy the longer videos ❤️❤️

🐸🧦 Pete, don't worry about the length.👍 I live for long form content. I was going to say maybe soak the rootball first and spray it down after to remove any more soil, but I think you've got it handled nicely. From my own experience root-pruning is most beneficial if the plant is going back into the exact same pot, with the desired effect of a more miniature/compact plant. So for the chop+prop+sale, roots are better left intact for the plant to grow out.

Waooo what a beautiful plant

Greetings from Detroit I really enjoy your videos no matter what length

Great video Pete thanks and I’m here for the longer videos

Hello from Puerto Rico!!! Very beautiful Monsteras!! I was just as cautious while you were cutting. 😂

Soak the root ball in water for a few hours, then bring it outside and wash the soil off with your hose. You should reduce most of the breakage and be able to straighten out some of the roots.

Yes, long videos are fine! This is my therapy!

Feedback: I do enjoy longer plant videos :D A few months ago I decided to save our office Schefflera from spider mites and took it home to repot it. It was so massively root-bound, I had to cut the pot off of it. I also gave it a hose down in the shower and since there was also some root rot, it had barely any roots left when I was done with it. 😅 But after a few days in fresh soil it recovered and now even shoots out two buds... o_O I didn't even know Scheffleras could do that because I've never seen it before. Now patiently waiting for the ones I got sitting at home to also shoot out buds xD However, even if I rescued this plant, I murdered our pothos that was also desperately in need of some care. You can't always win, right? 🤷‍♀ 😄 (I managed to rescue some cuttings though and now I'm waiting for them to be ready to make our meeting room green again ^^)

I found a Monstera thrown away in woods near my in-laws.. it was a little rough, but looks like it's making new roots after I chopped it up. Fingers crossed and thanks for the video!

Let’s go!!!

The length is fine. Nice plant, and better than the expensive one you showed, that one looks ill. I also appriate that I dont have to slow down the playing, with some youtubers they remove all breathing seconds and rattle on at superspead. Great that the music is gone :)

Soak the root bound plant in water for about an hour the soil will loisen andcthe roots will be softer to handle :) this works for me with any root bound plants.

Love your videos!!!!!

Cool videos mate, it’s kind of relaxing to just listen and watch a long plant propagation video 😄

😂 Best reaction to the root reveal!! ❤

LOL BEST NEXT MOVEMENT AND LONGER VIDS FORSURE!

You can put the whole root bound ball in a large bucket of water (or the sink) and shake shake shake. Usually most of the inner dirt will come out with some coaxing. But a lot easier than just going at it dry! Hehe! 😜

I either poke at the soil with chop sticks or a toothpick depending on the size of the plant container

I prefer the longer videos. This was great.

She's a beauty! So that is definitely why they're called monstera cos they develop monster roots!!! Love love Monstera roots and monstera in general...they just keep giving and never disappoint (well not for me so far 😉)

Beautiful plant Pete

Subscribed! Great videos man, really enjoying the monstera vids! Nice job staking these up. Curious what you wound up selling these for? Thanks for sharing, those turned out great!

I find longer videos relaxing especially with releasing those fantastic root balls. I’ve had luck alternating fingers and chopstick to get into the bits of it without damaging roots.

Love long videos

My only suggestion could be, is to water down the root & soil, as so to give you better removal of the soil

She's a beautiful plant Pete and obviously that method of air layer propping with a pot of normalish medium works wonders! Purely for your entertainment I will share that I had someone who couldn't see my screen walk in at around the 14:25 mark, they looked horrified and left quickly. 🤣 Which put my mind firmly into the gutter for the rest of the video making it all the more gut bustlingly hilarious when you made that comment later on. Honestly though it's a planty video there's going to be some dirt. On a totally different topic yes longer ones are better. *said with a totally straight face.*

Enjoyed the longer video. Keep the bigger cutting, unless you want to wait for the either of the others to grow as big, and keep us posted on how they aLl get on please.

I Hope m’y monsteras gonna be okay. I got mine from a big box store back in January. Not the mint (I wish). I had two plants in one pot and they were actually doing well but I should’ve transplanted them a LONG time ago. It was in 100 peat moss , I mixed a chunky airoid mix and went ahead and started taking the roots apart. All the big major roots made it but the fine secondary roots didn’t . I planted them both in their new containers and hoping they’ll be okay .

first of all Monstera dont mind root bound and also there is space in the midle of the root and you could trim some of the roots. nice plant

nice monstera:)

Nice video...

You could use a chopstick to get into that root system and loosen the soil.

💚

9:35 The pure elation !!

Hi Pete! First off, you just taught me about geniculum, which confirmed I do have a wide form! Thank you! Now, will the cutting you took still revert to juvenile form for the new leaves?

This video has been a wonderful introduction to your channel. I learned a lot, and laughed a lot. Thanks. I’ve just subscribed. If you decide to sell one of these beauties, I would like to purchase. It. Just sayin’😉

So the charcoal on the cut is a good idea. Never knew that was a thing.

Can’t wait until the future comes, and these are as common as all the pathos varieties lol

Where did you get the clear pots

That’s exactly what mine looked like at 21 mins… I had to be super rough and I’m scared for my babies.

Nice plant. I’d keep the top and keep propping the base. Curious, when you sell, can you ship to the US? I’m west coast so not half way around the world. 😂

Hi Pete, wondering what you decided to sell/keep & what price you decided on or did you auction these cuttings?

We love long videos

🤣Poll albo vs Thai con vs aurea vs mint vs green on green if that's a thing

Where do you order your clear plant containers from? Thank you in advanced

Would cinnamon have worked as well as the activated charcoal? That stuff stains forever! As a vet tech, I can't even think about using that! Too make mishaps trying to cleanly administer activated charcoal into a dog who got into something potentially deadly that they shouldn't! (the dog and the techs all got to wear a garbage bag poncho)

Keep the mother plant and top cutting i’d say, you won’t regret it. Sell the rest😇.

You can also use plain cinnamon to seal fresh cuts too 😉

I bought a HUGE monstera deliciosa today that was even more root bound than yours. I had to cut the plastic pot to release it from its prison.

Epic new vids from onlyplants again... PT 1 & 2 Lanna international exotics

#Hakunalaplanta says the bigger the root system the bigger the leaves 😂

Spray the soil off with a hose!

What's your ebay store name ? 🥰🥰

I saw Christmas tree 🥹🙏🏼❤️🫠

Maaaaate!! Chester did not end his life he was taken out, as was his best mate ... too much of a coincidence they both "committed suicide" within a few months of each other... you obviously have not looked past the propaganda machine ? (With respect) they were working on a project together to end child sex trafficking. That's a huge no no

I have never understood why handsome educated men have to use bad language. I don't swear at you please don't swear at me

Thats not at all an impressive plant! Looks like a regular monstera with a virus or something.

Love long videos
