I changed TWO things to get HUGE leaves 

Hey Jeff! I am finding ALL my plants do much better with more light than they recommend. I have had an African Violet for at least 5 years. I had it in their recommended spot of bright indirect sun, but it only would put out leaves once in a while. I mindlessly moved it to a very bright spot in direct south facing sun by accident. (My windows have a tint on them to keep fabrics from fading) I didn't notice it until I saw the thing had Flowers!!! I thought "Holy Crap!!" and also my snake plant! It is in the same window and that put out a whole other plant!! But when I put plants in my low light north facing living room, it just dies a slow death, LOL I have added some grow lights and a whole new shelf system in that south facing window and north facing one as well. So I am excited to see how everything does this year. And I am anxious to put my syngoniums out on my front porch again. They just go wild out there.

a quick tip to minimalize the chance of rot when making cuttings: let them dry off for 2 or 3 days, I had to learn this the hard way when I lost 6 out of 7 monstera variegata cuttings. I dont know why but I never heard that in any youtube videos ever, all they usually do is cut and place in water

I love your cute graphic at the end of the episodes!

This video was helpful, that light meter was something new to me thanks. I have a new Thai constellation I hope I'm doing this good ,🤞🏿🤞🏿

I sort of accidentally bought this tiny monstera that turned out too be two in one. (They’re still together two years later). I put th ‘em in a pot, stick it by the east facing sliding glass door. Then ignored it except for watering about once a week. Well it kept growing and I didn’t want a monstera. It finally kept flopping over so each Oma t got its own stick to be clipped to. So that carried on for a while and the stems or petioles got to big to use a clip up station the stick and I was forced to to revelation that I needed a moss pole. So I went on Amazon and bought all the supplies, put them on my planting table in the middle of the kitchen. And looked them every time I walked in the kitchen. Finally I had to make it and it h as to be repotted with one of those acrylic poles and moss in a chunky mixture I made. The pile is in and leans to the front and right. I can’t seem to get art it up right. If I don’t tilt it back it drips I to my dogs water bowl. So I tell it backwards a bad it drips out the back into the floor. What a girl to do. I see a repot coming up just to straighten it out. But I’ve got one leaf with three fenestrations and the second and smaller plant has one leaf with two fenestrations. Nothing else since I put it on the moss pole. But now I’ve got not one but two monsteras all against my will.

Thanks Jeff, that was an absolute treat, and fab advice! So impressed with the giant fenestrated Monstera leaves...they look stunning, and give an amazing jungle feel to your collection. One plea from me, please don't cut it back before it reaches the ceiling :)....it would be fascinating to see just how big you can get the leaves within an interior environment. After watching this, I'm now looking for one of those beautiful 'Thai Constellation' varieties. I noticed in the close-ups of the two Constellations that one had variegated petioles and the other plain green. I wondered if that was a spontaneous variation trait?

Beautiful plants, great video (and funny recreation segment!) lol

My monstera is looking so sad. I am so glad I found your page. I'll be doing your recommendation, asap.

I learnt so much with this video especially about the roots going opposite the leave , my experience is definitely more light bigger leaves ❤❤

Thank you ❤

Hope you had a great vacation 😀 Thanks for the video 😀🇨🇦

Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing plants lovely collection beautiful houseplants lovely collection beautiful

So now as I sit here in my chair watching your video I wonder “what side is my moss poke, the right or the wrong side”. Thanks Jeff now I need to get out of my comfy chair and look. Thanks Jeff. I sure hope that I got it right. I’ll have to check.

Watched this went and repotted my Thai with a plank - cause it was time! It already looks bigger

Welcome back Jeff! Hope you had awesome holidays! I got my first monstera pretty big and there were multiple plants going in all directions, it was so rootbound when I got it there was no rearrangement of the separate plants at all, ended up selling it and started with a smaller single one I could properly stake on one side

Good job Jeff❤

I love this!!! I saw your story this weekend and I couldn't send you anything because my monsteras are doing great 😅 Thanks to Lee 😊 I really love how good yours look! Can't wait to grow the Albo and Thai con.

Wow I’m trying to learn as I’m saving my daughter n laws monstera Ive have a bit of a green thumb and watched you videos before about staking and what a difference ! The other was there were no splits in the leaves and now yesss I’m getting the best split leaves now ❤️! The bonus video of your friend the monstera I took over was way worse but similar situation so wow thanks so much for your knowledge my daughter is sooo impressed now ❤️✌🏻🇨🇦

How would one go about shoving a plank into the pot of a large monstera? I am house/plant-sitting. This monstera's lower stems are bound to dowels. If your index finger is the dowel, your wrist is the stem. How would you add more support?

This was so informative...& entertaining 😂

Gŕeat video, Jeff. Thanks so much. ❤😊

Thank you for this informative video. I have a regular & Thi. This helps a lot.

Great tips Jeff! How do you change/extend your support planks? Or do you use a plank of the desired height from the start?

Question. Do you wet that wood plank. You mentioned for the moss poles you need to but what do you do for the plank ?😊

Glad you’re back! Thanks for another instructive video. Monstera supports: do they need to be planks? Or will a bamboo stake suffice?

Thanks for you tips

Question, I'm holding up my monstera with sticks in a teepee form, and some plant velcro. I don't think any parts of the plant is actually growing into the sticks, I didn't arrange it that was, I just supported it from falling over. Will that matter for sizing up? Does it actually have to be attached?

Thanks!

What is your opinion on bottom watering? I feel nature does it, roots go deeper to find water. Thanks

Thanks for posting! May I ask how you manage the heat in your grow room? I imagine it can get pretty hot with all of those grow lights.

What's the width on the boards you use for your thais? I have some 3" board but I'm scared to add it because i don't want the stem of my Thai to eventually be wider than the board 😂

I was going to ask about the gooseneck lights. I'm going to see if you have a discount code.

looks like i need more grow lights im getting maybe half what you have there

How do you add on to the stake when the plant outgrows its height?

Yay! You are back! 😂

Can you get those planks at a big box store? Exactly what do I ask for? Thank you.

I have a Thai Con I’m currently struggling with, the oldest bottom leaves are starting to yellow. I keep it under a grow light so I’m sure it gets ample light, and only water when the soil is dry. What should I do?

Hi, Jeff I bought a new monstera plant had it for two weeks so I decided to water it, after a day, it started weeping waters coming from the leaves. Is that normal?.

Hi Jeff, I probably already asked you this but what kind of wood plank does it have to be cedar or can it be pine? In other words will it rot? Thanks.

💚

Can this be applied to elephant ears plant?

Which Light Meter App For Plants do you use please? Link please?

what app do you use on your phone to measure the light?

❤❤❤

Rất tuyệt vời

💚🌱

What was the app name you using? Thanks

M💚NSTERAS!!! Glad I Wound Up With A: G💚💚D L💚💚KING B💚Y THAI!!! I DO NEED To W💚RK On Getting HIM Back Up Into The Sunlight Where HE BEL💚NGS After Watering HIM!!!
