THIS MONSTERA GREW SO MUCH FASTER 

Nice to see Mr Pencil as your assistant today! Great video.

Holy roots!!!😱😱😱🎉. Welcome to the channel, Little Rusty Hammer 🥰. Excellent one tap to freedom, no mess nor blood. Great Pre-Halloween video!🤩😍

That was so satisfying when you got it in the bigger jar without disturbing the roots or breaking many. I definitely was holding my breath lol

That is a very happy Monstera! ~ so healthy and glossy looking. Like many, I never tire of a M. deliciosa. It's one of those classic houseplants that's been around for decades but still elicits a smile like a dear familiar friend. As it matures there's always that anticipation about how big the leaf, and how many fenestrations will appear. And I love the crazy growth habit of the aerial roots. Fab video! :)

I put vinyl shelf paper around my clear jars it has adhesive on the back so it's easy to cut and attach. No more algae.

He did the monster monstera 😀 a mad plant scientist for Halloween 🎃🙏 you have quite the plant tool bag going on 👍💚🪴

Great video, Jeff. Very informative, as usual. Goods tips on the thrip insects!👍

I was surprised at how easy the roots were freed from glass. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Jeff, That is one happy plant! I’m rehabbing a Sansiveria White Snow and Moonshine in water. The roots were struggling so I sprayed them down with hydrogen peroxide. Within days new roots formed and both are doing great in the jar.

Wow Jeff! I went thru almost doing that last week. I even videoed with my cell phone! My hoya publicalyx roots in leca filled the jar and I had the darndest time getting it out. I poured water in, used a chop stick, tugged and was so afraid of breaking the stem. After 5 minutes or more, I was able to get it free. Breaking the jar was definitely my next option! Thanks for sharing! Dee, New York

I've gotten some plants stuck in glass jars before too😂Before you get it stuck in that jar too , i would recommend that you check out some plastic jars or a clear container with cylindrical or outward fluted sides! Hence the reason I'm growing my Thai constellation and a large clear plastic pretzel container that I scavenged from the grocery store I work at😂 so much easier then to get out and so much easier to clean up than broken glass !

Great video. I thought it would be harder and messier to do this but it went so simply well.

Wow, Jeff! I love your clips! I always learn something new from you. I wonder what line of work you are in; you seem to be meticulous - with a curious mind. Great combo. So glad you had your pencil available today to help you 😊.

That was talent there breaking that jar! Lol. The plant looks amazing!

I enjoy your videos so much! I'm always scared of glass, glad it went smoothly! That bubbler is awesome, the plant loves it!

Hi Jeff, thank you for this video. I put 2 cuttings of Monstera Deliciosa in Pon last year, beginning of summer, and they are growing 3 times faster then the others in soil. I love watching them in water too 💚

So interesting that this monstera is thriving in water. I had one in a fish tank for a long time, and it did OK, but I think it really needed more light

Hi, I'm late to your channel but just wanted to say how much I appreciate these experiments. I've recently been toying with the idea of growing a monstera in a setting where I'll have to be away for long stretches at a time and had pretty much concluded that air-stone hydroponics was going to be my best shot at keeping it going while away. I'm very reassured to see it working so well for you. In a followup episode, I'd be curious to know how much of an effect constant-vs-intermittent air stone makes on the water consumption. Thank you.

The air pump definitely makes a difference! It increases the surface area of the water resulting in more gas exchange in the water and higher oxygen levels in the water!

Thanks for the info on the reason for root rot in soil vs in water, good to know. Great video, thank you!

Wrapping a jar before breaking it prevents glass shards from flying around the room. A used plastic bag, or newspaper works.

To get that future support stake to be strong, you could possibly use large hose clamps around the jar and the support stake.

Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing plants lovely collection beautiful

Such a great tap with the hammer. I am curious though with that many roots why didn't you plant it in soil? Or will it be living in water permanently?

I had to do the same thing when I rooted several cuttings of Pairiso Verde . I dumped the water and put the jar in a bag so glass did"nt go everywhere.

i just saw missorchidgirl talking about leca and why she doesnt propagate or use as subtrate. if i remember correctly it altered ph too much and i was thinking of adding it to my planted betta bowl and did not for same reason per another video. i didnt research it well enough yet to be convinced

I'm growing some in water too! Not as abundant just yet though.

We use the same fert and I ph down my water to about a 6 also. After some research I also started using dyna gro pro- tekt thats a silicon solution and it’s been working very well

great video! love the tetnus hammer :)

Well done do you pay alot to power your plant lights?

What type of water do you use, to water and spray off your plants? I always bought distilled water jugs but its getting to much with the amount of plants I have now. I wonder what you use and if there is an alternative for the jugs.

I need to get some of that ph down, great tip!

Day of Destruction lol ... bonuses = sucking insect signs + roots needing oxygen

Wildfern used socks over clear containers to prevent algae!

The handy dandy pencil😅

Where’d you get the pump? I need it
