I've been fighting with my Thai for over three years... this video gave me the inspo i needed to finally give it the big big chop!! Your plant looks beautiful.

@RootsReady 2 месяца назад

Best of luck! I think the lesson here is to not give up

Amazing journey, I bought a Thai cutting too, it was in some kind of cactus mix, perfect roots, but than I noticed rot and removed it into soil, roots rotted more and now I habe 0.5 cm root left, it’s in water now and is pushing out a new leaf, wish me luck

@RootsReady Год назад

It's sad to say but you are not alone. It's a very common issue. As you can see, the MTC can be a resilient little plant. Best of luck 🤞

@Plantbliss Год назад

Sometimes even with good plant practices things happen, plants do plant things and sometimes die. Love your videos!

You are so right! Thank you so much!

Congrats on saving it, I lost an albo to root rot. I will say I don't think the heat mat was necessary especially if it wasn't growing like that before. I've also got to a point where I don't cut just part of the rotted root.... I cut that whole strand because to me, it's already infected and will just move up the root. Yes you can dunk in peroxide or bleach like some do but none of it is a sterile procedure and if you don't cut back enough, you can still leave bacteria to grow. I've also stopped jumping from one plant saving act to another. I usually intervene and then I go a few weeks before bother again even if it looks bad. I just wait to see if it looks worse lol. Things usually get worse before they get better. 🤷🏾‍♀️

@RootsReady Год назад

That is a great point about cutting the roots. I think if I have taken steps to remove more of the infected roots at an earlier stage, I would have faster results. Thank you for you comment 😊

@meikahidenori Год назад

Had a similar experience, my TCs got shipped to me on super hot days so of course giving them water was an instant rot situation. I had 6 of them but have managed to save three and regrow them stronger more viable roots. One I'm suprised gave me any roots as on initial inspection, the plant had rotted right through the node. Its only got one leaf, but it's doing quite well as atm it's autumn so it's busy growing lots of roots now - but yeah sometimes these things can't be helped. (Mine were birthday/Christmas presents so uh... to save 3 was lucky!) Water propergation saved them - Infact now their roots are thicker than the ones that rotted so hopefully they're going to thrive much better 😊 i wish you luck with yours❤

@RootsReady Год назад

Thank you for your comments! 50% success rate is better than none. I am glad to hear that your MTC are thriving. I hope they continue to do some. I would love to hear an update on them in a few months! Have a great weekend

@katiewilliams9273 Год назад

I finally got my top wishlist plant as well and of course it's the Thia , it's in a 6 inch pot and has 4 big leaves . Looks pretty established to me. I'm not touching that for a long time. My biggest fear is spending that much money and it getting root rot . Thanks for the video

@RootsReady Год назад

It sounds like an amazing specimen! I can't wait for mine to get to that size! I hope you don't go through what I had to

@michellehawkins4800 Год назад

My 2 node cutting developed root rot 2 months after I got it. I had kept it in its original pot but was planning on moving it out as it was a very large pot for the size of plant. Took it out to find it was just 2 Aerial roots 1 was mush. Used hydrogen peroxide n cut off the root n stem til I saw no rot. Left it to air dry n put into very small pot with damp airoid mix . Stuck in support sticks n tied it so that it wasn't touching the soil. I was so scared to water that plant, but now 6 months later I have a good root system and he has pushed out a fenistrated leaf. Don't think I will ever take my eye of that baby though 😅

@RootsReady Год назад

What a battle but it sound like you and your MTC came out on top! Thanks for sharing and hope it continues to grow well

@hennesseyme9112 Год назад

Freaking Magician! I am doing through the same thing! I had beautiful roots. I moved it from PON to Coco peat! Big mistake! I have less than a half of node left with a half of aerial root and what feels like a bump and no more rot. I rubbed that thing down in Myco+ and growth hormone and I put in a prop box with a light in Fluval stratum. I am going to let the Fluval dry out a bit. The thing had just put out it's third leaf and I moved it because it had so many roots it was crowded in the pot. So stressful after paying so much for this expensive plant. DO NOT ROOT IT IN PON!!!!!!

@RootsReady Год назад

You experience sounds very similar to mine! How is it doing now?

@hennesseyme9112 Год назад

@@RootsReady It went into the Ether. I purchased a new one and will never put a Monstera in PON again.

@hennesseyme9112 2 месяца назад

UPDATE!!! I had another problem with my plant. It lost all of it's roots and the soil the vendor sold it to me in. Thankfully it didn't rot. I put it in water and it did nothing, but I figured, let me put it in Fluval Stratum. You should see this beauty today!!!! It has several leaves. Once the roots were well established, I ordered some aroid mix from Etsy and that plant is in happy land! If you are having trouble, use Fluval stratum to nourish your plant. Keep it most, not too wet and watch what happens!

@lemorrisgalbreath2505 Год назад

Good CPR! 😂 I had a heart fern that wasn't cheap but sure wasn't as expensive as your TC. I tried everything but had to endure its demise one leaf at a time then the demise of its single offspring. Threw it on the compost pile and moved on. Some plants are doomed no matter what you do.

@RootsReady Год назад

Oh no! Will you try again?

@lemorrisgalbreath2505 Год назад

@@RootsReady I bought another one when the first one started looking bad. It's doing okay. Not growing much, but I think they're slow growers anyway...and kinda picky about water, humidity, light, temperature, fertilizer...not much else left! 😂

@RootsReady Год назад

Oh no! I am sorry to hear that. Did you replace it?

@MultiMellieha Год назад

I just got a thai constellation starter, i watered it when i first got it though. Will this lead to root rot you think? Would love to hear your advice about watering

@RootsReady Год назад

Thanks for you comment. Watering it should be fine as long as it is in well draining soil that can dry out quickly. Bigger plants tend to be more forgiving

@cheeseburgero1 10 месяцев назад

If you think of the areas these plants come from there is typhoon and monsoon seasons and once a year it floods and most plants melt off to fertilize itself for dry seasons. I think the plants are "rare" cause of this rot. Which I think is a natural process of the plant. Once established you should be fine. Think of all the plants that get tossed when there's nothing wrong.

@RootsReady 10 месяцев назад

You make a great point. I want to see some mature leaves on this plant before I am confident it is strong enough

@magalieg273 Год назад

Oh my!! That's scary. My baby thai is in pon (with drainage) and I thought that would make me safe from root rot. Guess not!! Why do you think it rotted? Just because you transplanted it?

@RootsReady Год назад

I wouldn't move it out of pon if it is working for you. I plan to eventually move it back into pon. I think the stress and shipping and the transplant was too much for the little guy

@averypark3116 8 месяцев назад

I recently got one off a sale, and it came completely mangled via post T_T Thankfully it had really good roots, so I mixed in some perlite into the soil it came in and left it for a while, only to realize that it got a bunch of root rot!!! I have it sitting in leca in a clear pot atm, but after seeing your video I'm wondering if that was the right way to go. Also how often did you take out your plants to investigate the roots? I don't want to shock the plant but also would hate to see it succumb to more root rot. any tips on that?

@RootsReady 6 месяцев назад

How is yours doing now? As you can see I tried a many methods before I found one that worked for me. Perlite and moss tend to have best results. For the purpose of this video I took mine out more often than I normally would. I would try to avoid it as much as possible

@averypark3116 6 месяцев назад

@@RootsReady I had to strip all the roots off except one single healthy/growing root. everything else perished aahah! It's sitting in water now and doing much better, but not sure if it's thriving. Once it pops out more new roots, it'll try perlite and moss again. Thank you for your answer!

@glennchua1585 Год назад

Omg, your experience is far more worse than mine, i propagated mine on water… now it’s on leca and thriving well
