Thanks for this vid! I never knew what aerial roots were for and always ignored them. Now I know what POWER they have! :-) 😊
Yep, those aerial roots do more than just make the plant look crazy. LOL
New subscriber supporting my fellow content creators thank you for the video I just bought my first monstera albo
Welcome to the family! Congrats on your Albo and best of luck.
Perfect timing Peggy! I am in SoCal and literally just cut my albo yesterday. I did an air layer in moss with one of the aerial roots. I did the beheading last night 😬, let it callous over and now I’m look at two albos! I am going to try and grow the top cutting in moss and let the roots develop more before transferring to the mother plant. I’m trying to get a bushier overall look. Both are doing well (so far!) 😎
Best of luck! Sounds like you're well on your way to a beautiful full plant.
the variegation on this plant is just so beautiful!
Thanks, I think so too! It's amazing how each plant is so different. Thanks for watching.
Wow brilliant video thank you Peggy, I was looking at more information on the Albo but no one does updates on the growth. The amount of time and energy that went into this video is appreciated. Thanks!!
Thank you for the positive feedback. Showing the progress means I put out far fewer videos since it takes so long to show progress. However, as a viewer, I know I'd prefer to see the progress, which is why I do my best to include updates in my videos. Thanks for watching!
Everywhere I looked they say your aerial roots will rot if you put it in water or dirt they say only to put it in moss... I'm glad I saw this!
I've done it this way many times and have never had a problem. I tend to go with what works for me and that usually means I'm going rogue! 😆 Best of luck and have fun with your plants!
This is my dream plant now that my deliciosa is doing well
Hopefully one will come your way soon!
It's a bit like pruning to stimulate new growth and bonus, you got a whole new plant!
Exactly. I like that I didn't have to risk losing the plant to root it.
It's so hard to order plants. That's why I just drive to actual spots. Love your channel.
It can be quite difficult. I totally understand. Thanks for watching!
Hello Peggy. I just love when you give us all the updates in 1 video. I’m soon gonna chop my Albo.
Hi K! Thanks for the feedback. Good luck with your Albo!
Thank you! ( Was holding my breath when you were bending roots 😆😆 )
Lol, sorry to cause you stress. My heart was beating so hard when I made the cut, I though my mic might pick it up. Seriously!
Congratulations on another successful propagation! Wow!
Thanks so much! I've been wanting to propagate this plant forever but couldn't bring myself to risk it. Then I remembered this method and now I'm a happy camper. It's still the plant I've paid the most for so I'm always hesitant to do anything with it. Thanks for watching.
They both are so beautiful....i do not have one of those! Great job....they look so nice and look forward to another update of them later in the year! It was 10 degrees today burr but the sun is shinning! Soak up some sun and have a great day! Love your channel! Love from MN
Thank you for the kind words and for watching. Stay warm!
That is really Cool and Funny that the cutting is hovering above the substrate.
It took the Floor is lava to a planty level 😅
Lol, it's still hovering and growing. 🌿💚
My Thai con is doing well so I ordered an albo for my birthday 🤞🏼
That's great. I've had my Thai for 3 years and it's still small with 2 leaves. I don't have a clue what the problem is. Enjoy your albo!
@@PeggysPlants it’s my second one my first one the roots covered the drainage holes & I killed it 💔 so I’m using different pots that I found on Amazon that I like 👍🏼 👍🏼
I can watch the roots grow out the bottom. My Thai keeps about 4 leaves but they’re still smaller then others I’ve seen
I held my breath when you cut it! ✂️
I held my breath when I cut it. I don't know why since it was already rooted, but I did.
Good work Peggy. Not surprised at all. Thanks for sharing your plant adventures 😀💕
Thanks for watching!
I'm so happy for you the Monstera Albo looks great. Truly your doing a great job with your plants I love your channel please do alot more care videos for us. Think your Ora and tone your pitch and you don't talk to fast I think it's great for teaching and love appreciate all care videos you've done and will do .
Thank you so much!
I just got brave and got two cuttings and a node from my mother plant. The last time I tried to prop, I used a deliciosa and it rotted so next time I will try air layering. I have not been very successful with moss so this might be a better option. I mixed Tree fern fiber and Fluval stratum and in less than a week one of the Albo cuttings is showing off. I am. Nodes take forever, so we will see what happens with that. When you see an arial root, you should dance! That is a sure sign your plant is happy. Oh I also mixed moss and tree fern fiber into a D moss pole and now the root has grown into the pot in less than a month. Very happy! May I ask why you have it in a self watering pot?
I have it in a self watering pot because it is in Leca. I like to use self watering pots with leca because it's easier for me to maintain. Mine is attached to a moss pole but is growing kinda crazy. I'm thinking about propagating it so I can get it to grow in a more orderly fashion, but they can take forever to grow. Best of luck with your propagations and happy growing!
Thank you for a well-done, informative video.
Glad it was helpful! You are very welcome. Thanks for watching.
Good job, Peggy!❤ Hoping the best! Please keep us posted.
Thank you! Will do!
That’s a beautiful Albo Peggy💚💚🌿🌿
Thank you!
Great video!
Thanks for watching!
very well explained
Glad you feel that way. Thanks for watching!
Another method I used was putting the areal root in a test tube with water and then it water propagates while attached!
Yes!! or in mason jars of water! it's fascinating and so mind blowing!
I'm happy with any method that the roots can grow before cutting the Albo. They can be so hard to root otherwise and these plants are too expensive for me to risk it.
Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing plants lovely ❤❤
You are so welcome. Thanks for watching!
I’m no pro but I have been binge watching videos about this plant and learned that back in the beginning when you only had one leaf that leaf should have always faced the sun apparently you’re not supposed to rotate this plant you’re supposed to always leave the leaves towards the sun, the other thing I learned is if you want less variegation give it less sun. I personally think you’re doing a great job with this plant. Have you ever thought about wrapping the stem with sphagnum moss then Saran Wrap where the Ariel root is I wonder if it would grow new roots? Then you would feel much safer cutting it, I just got a top cutting with one mushy root so I’m trying to figure out what to do.
As with most plants, there is more than one way of doing things. If you want your leaves to all grow facing one direction, you shouldn't rotate it. Most variegated plants will give more variegation if you have them in higher lighting conditions. Wrapping the arial root as you described is another way of stimulating root growth and it works well on these plants. I chose the method I used because it is simple and worked best for me. I highly encourage you to do what works best for you and meets your needs. Best of luck with your cutting!
This exact thing happened to me with a seller too. I had to cut the leaves off in the end…
Now I have a node with roots, the cut areas do not look good at all, BUT I do see a lil bump appearing now, so we shall see. The most I’ve ever spent, on a plant I’ve always wanted, but the USPS lost? the package for a week, so when I got her I had to cut the leaves(2) off and just hope for the best. She looked like yours- “rooted plant” = 2 roots from a node.
How disappointing. Hopefully you will have a good outcome and end up with a hardy plant. Best of luck!
This was a really great video! thanks so much Peggy!!
You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great job an excellent info 😀💚
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Very cleverly done!
Thank you!
They look good.
Thank you!
Nice!!! Good information and beautiful plant 🌱💚
Thanks for watching!
Stunning!
Thanks!
Love your content.
Thank you!
Great job growing and a great video. This is such a helpful post. I could listen to you talk all day! 😊 Can you share your source for the plant with us? I've searched and searched in this country and cannot find a rooted cutting. I bought a cutting last summer, which rotted without fail, and I am determined to grow this plant with spending a fortune or wasting any more money.
This plant was imported from a company I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending. I've ordered from them twice and had major issues each time.
Thank you for sharing; lii ok be to see updates..
Sure thing!
Get you some plant cutting shears go to dollar tree here soon there about to be stocked for the spring they have cutters so if u have to prune a leaf is made to cut the so the look good
I probably have 10 pairs of shears in all sizes. Still, when I get ready to cut anything, I grab the first pair I see. LOL
Congrats!
Thanks!
Scissors only crush stems when the scissor blades are dull. I know because I use scissors and they work great until they get dull. The fist time a cut crushes the stem I know it’s time to sharpen the scissors or buy new ones.
Thanks for the clarification. I always use scissors and haven't had any issues.
Great video, thank you, my question how do you fertilize this beautiful plant?
I add a quarter strength to my water when watering the plant. Thanks for watching!
@@PeggysPlants thank you :)
Hi Peggy Thank you for sharing that and I want to know where did you buy your silver shelves
Thank you for watching! I purchased some of my shelves from webstaurant.com and some from Amazon.
Hi Peggy. Did you just submerge the root and not the stem in leca to avoid rot? Right now I’m water propagating a two leaf top cutting which I eventually want to grow in leca. Just trying to determine how to pot my cutting when the time comes. Thx
I only submerged the root. I have one now that I am propagating the same way. I will show it in a video soon. Works like a charm and you don't have to worry about rot. I've killed enough Monstera Albos with root rot. I haven't lost one yet using this method. Best of luck!
Beautiful! What fertilizer do you use for leca?
I use the same miracle gro granules I use for the rest of my plants.
Hi Peggy I have been looking at your video for a while now, I have decided to order some Leica because of you have not started using it yet I need to get me a vase from Dollar tree and put a hole in it. I have seen your video on how to do that so I will try it soon wish me luck. I’m obsessed with plants my husband talk’s about me I only had about 6 or 7 plants when we got married and now I have give or take 25 now lol.
I think most of us plant people are obsessed. I know I am. LOL I think you will love working with Leca once you get started. It has made caring for my plants much easier. Best of luck!
@@PeggysPlants thanks I know the plants I put in leca is trying to acclimate to being in leca cause they are looking bad. I had 3 pieces of the plant and I’m scared I going to lose them so I put one in water just to be safe lol.
@@PeggysPlants Can you tell me how often you fertilize your plants when you have them in the leca.
do you use distilled water to when in leca as well or does regular water work?
just nervous about burning the leaves
I use tap water that has sat out 24 hours. Either that or water from my Zero water filter. It all depends on your local water quality.
I am so happy for you great job 5 stars ✨ ✨ for you I will never be able to buy this plant maybe some day I will get lucky thanks for shearing.
Thank you. Hopefully you will be able to trade someone for a cutting or better yet, the prices eventually come down. Thanks for watching.
What brand of LECA do you use? It's really nice looking.
Honestly, I use the cheapest I can find. I'm not brand loyal at all. LOL
Hope it makes it. Mama Long Greenville Tx 🙏🏾😇
Thanks! So far they are both doing great!
Hey, did you root it? I have a monstera I purchased and it was not rooted
No, I purchased mine with roots. The first one I had was a cutting and it rotted before it rooted. Best of luck!
hi peggy can you tell me where you ordered the leave cuttings..id love to try to do what you did .. thank you
The cuttings were from my plant.
Was this from Greenspaces?
It may have been, but I honestly don't remember. I've had it for awhile and would have to go through some of my older vids to say for certain. Thanks for watching!
Congratulations Ms. Peggy, job well done! Would you be interested in selling one of your cuttings? No hurry on my end it’s winter up here in Michigan . Thank you for sharing your methods of propagation. I always look forward to your videos ☃️❄️💚🙃
If I take additional cuttings I may be willing to do so. Right now, I need to have a backup in case things take a turn for the worst.
@@PeggysPlants understandable☃️❄️💚🙃
Hi, how often do you water your plants?
I only water when the water meter says the plant is dry or when all of the water in the self watering pot is just about gone.
Hi Peggy!
What is that little meter you have besides your plant?
Area you speaking of the moisture meter? I'm not certain what you're asking about.
I think its the water gage its a self watering pot
How much
Not for sale. Thanks.
You should name and shame the seller
I understand how you feel. I'm hesitant to do that as it may just have been a bad day. If I have a couple of the same types of issues, then I will name the seller and share my experience. I like to give the benefit of the doubt when possible. Thanks for watching.
