Clear pot and saucer found here: amzn.to/3Yuuf4V If you have a monstera that will get root rot, it will definitely be a monstera Thai so a well draining mix is important! I purchased this baby from @dadeplantco on IG 🫶 🍁soil: 4 cups of indoor potting soil- whatever is accessible to you! 4 cups of coco chips- it comes in a brick when you buy it. Then you saturate it and break it down 2 cups of orchid bark- I ran out of my smaller chunks, I would’ve used that instead. 2 cups of pumice stone 2 cups of perlite 💦watering: water when the mix is completely dry. 💡lighting: The Thai Constellation’s cream green leaves occur as a mutation in its chlorophyll, so its spots do not absorb light like your green leaves do. Chlorophyll is important in turning sunlight along with carbon dioxide and water into energy, so the Thai Constellation has to work harder than most plants to photosynthesize. So light is so so important for these babies. My smaller Thai and monstera albo are both grown under my grow light but having near a well lit window with light filtering though will work well too. No direct sunlight. 🌬️Humidity: my typical humidity in my plant room with one humidifier is about 60 percent. If you notice crisp on the ends, consider having it near a humidifier.
I swear ours goes from huge roots in moss to root rot every time we try to put it back in dirt. Currently nearly root bound in a jar full of moss until we figure out what to try next.
Girl you crack me up. Thank you so much for sharing. I have one I just bought last month for $10. Yes in knooow very cheap at Walmart. They usually run to $49. I guess it was my day. There are three new babies growing. I can’t wait to repot it. Although I’m a little worried but not guna let it get to me. I did noticed your littler prayer “Señor “ hahahaha.
I had to go to the 'bg city' ( I live in the sticks so anything is bigger). So went to Trader Joe's to buy food I can't get at home. Right inside the door beautiful healthy plants for$12.99 so I filled my car instead of groceries. An employee comment on the Monstera and how she had problems with plants so I told her to find you, that you know everything! I said I'd shed heard 'drown that ho' she'd be ❤at the right place
My mom asked me what I wanted for my upcoming birthday & I told her I would love to own a variegated Monstera & she was like but what would you like for a present? A variegated Monstera please! I must be adopted, now I want a DNA test! 😹
You can stake them but their internodes are super tight together so as you can see in the video, they crawl instead of climb very easily! Also, because that internode is so tight if you do decide to stake it up, you won't need to immediately go with a 6 foot pole. Mine is about the same size as this one and I popped an orchid stake in last night after I repotted just so I know it's stable the next few weeks. I did disturb my root ball though as I repotted BC I found a few snails 😭 prior to the repot it was SOLID in there with all the air roots going straight down and grabbing in. I find the roots grow fast and massive compared to the deliciosa even though they're both supposed to be deliciosa 🤷🏼♀️
Love your videos!! How often do you water with a chunky mix? And is bottom water better when you have a chunky mixture, warmth, gratitude & blessings. ❤🎉
unrelated -- YOU LOOK GOREGOUS! happy birthday plant mama 🥳 (p.s. you know the Meghan Trainor song 'Mother' of course you do lol... well you are definitely my plant mother and I do indeed listen to you 🙏🏻)
That is what I was wondering, where did you get the clear pot and saucer! I see it in the descriptions! I still like Terra Cotta, however, I have more than one Monstera and would like to try one in plastic with extra drainage holes! I like the clear, you can see the roots!
I love your videos 😍 Maybe someone can help me... i bought a tiny monstera thai, but mine has only very small white spots. There are smaller than my little fingernail... are the white spots getting bigger, when the plant grows more?
K, i just have to say it. Every single time I watch your videos I immediately think "man, we would be best buds". 😂 I absolutely love your silliness and humor and relate so much 😂 you're a joy to watch and learn from. Thank you from the bottom of my plant heart 💚
I just saw the Thai Constellation Monstera at my local greenhouse after seeing it a few days ago on your youtube and I gasped because it’s sooo beautiful and it was the only one there, but it was priced at 92 euros. Does that seem right? I know this plant doesn’t really grow where I’m from but i’m just wondering how much these can go for. I must add it to my collection 😭
I bought Orchid mix at Lowe’s, it has charcoal, coarse perlite and fir bark? Is this a good mix I can use? Also, What soil is BEST for Monsteras including the Thai’s? Gracias
I get major anxiety every time you smell the soil. I can't stop thinking of the microbes and the fact that we're supposed to wear masks when dealing with soil
I learn so much from your videos! Every time I get a new plant or think of a question, I like to stop by your channel first to see if you've talked about it. Thank you!!
I have a question, I don't know if someone had tried to injert variegated monsteras into regular ones and if that make any difference or it just doesn't work
@@YumBonBon Yes! As sturdy as a regular opaque nursery pot, and possibly sturdier. I put them inside decorative pots, but they’re plenty sturdy on their own.
You should loosen up those roots. Everyone thinks monsteras like to be root bound. They tolerate it but don't prefer it. With roots like that it slows the growth. And we all know that monsteras like to be big, bold, and beautiful.
I can’t tell you the excitement that goes on every time I see your videos 😂 my neighbor is moving and offered to give me his 14+ year old monstera Thai 🥹
It's actually helpful to loosen the roots of a root-bound plant before repotting. the roots are used to grow in circles, so loosening them prevents further circling. I'd also slightly cut them; this promotes the growth of new fine roots
@@elbercho Thats absolute nonsense and easy to disprove, take a rootbound plant pot it up without disturbing the roots and see if the roots keep circling.... you;re spouting absolute nonsense.
@@chrisjohnson1715 no, I'm not. Giving the lower third of the root ball a few cuts will improve the root development. If the root bounding is very severe I even trim a few millimetres off. This does not traumatize a healthy plant. For planting a potted root-bound plant, especially a bush or a tree outdoors it's even NECESSARY to do that, otherwise, depending on the species, there's an extremely high chance that the rooting space will stay limited for a long time or even forever. So give me a break, smartass. I know my shit.
It's really not that difficult to get rid of the chlorine. just fill the water in a bowl with a big surface and let it sit there, so the chlorine evaporates. after at least 24 hours, better 48 hours, it's gone. You could also boil the water or use a filter with activated charcoal.
