- So I posted a clip of this video on IG the other day and over 200 of you guys wanted me to upload this! So this is a quick re-potting of my root-bound Monstera deliciosa - aka my SPLIT LEAF! I made for fun last year but I'll have you know my Monstera is thriving almost a year later and has since been propagated many times! Peep my Instagram for recent photos of it.
Also - propagation, would you be interested in learning more about it? Let me know in the comments below!

ITS IN SUCH A TINY POT HOLY MOLY
Right!!🤭🤭
Yes, that’s what I thought..Geez!
I would definitely recommend using a moss pole instead of a bare plastic or wood pole. It gives the aerial roots something to attach to and you won't need to use twine.
I considered that for sure, but I've put it into a corner with a trellis so it's starting to climb the wall! :)
Vines will dig into bare wall if they feel like it. But usually monstera will just lean upon things once they get bigger, the more support they get, the bigger the leaves and longer the vines. The more sun they get, the more splits they develop. No moss poles required.
Also when watering from above, the moss holds moisture so the plant (which loves humidity) is attracted to the pole and the moss provides extra humidity which is helpful if you live in a dryer climate zone.
Never herd of this type of pole? is it summat u can just buy at the garden shop ? x
My monster adansonii has attached its self to a wood pole. Mobsteras will attach themselves to anything.
Mine is 40 yeas old. I used.to provide a moss trellis, but it has it's own stalk now and multiple babies. I untangle the roots in the root ball , so I don't break off the roots belonging to the babies.
Most young babies the roots are about 2 feet long.
Total above roots plant is
6 feet by 6 feet... a monster.
It summers on a north facing covered porch. Winters inside when nights hit 50 degrees. It has been really happy since I added it's own light above. I no longer have the south facing bay window that it never left
WOW!! That's AMAZING! I'd love to see the monster in person. I love how once you get these guys into a spot they love, they just thrive!! I hope one day I have a 6x6 monstera!
Wow that sure was a tiny pot! I am impressed how well it did in that pot.
Also it’s a beautiful monstera
Right, looks like a 5'' diameter pot. I don't know how it survived.
Plus, she said that she repotted twice before. I don’t understand what size pot she had BEFORE this little pot in the video.
Hi! I think if you add a moss pole and let new aerial roots cling to it, it will really take off climbing! It's a gorgeous plant! Mine started shooting out a long vine (about 8 feet now) which is suspended with hooks and twine along the wall up to my ceiling now, but I'm going to get a tall post and add moss/mesh to it so that it can get even more momentum. Happy plant tending! 😀
It's climbing up a wall currently! But I have considered the moss poll if I move it or it starts leaning. That plant sounds absolutely STUNNING, and your plan sounds spectacular!
I am so curious as to hold d your plants are! ? My monetera was gjven to me by a friend, bc it was getting too tall, lopsided, &kept tipping over. Annyway, I have had it for 2 years, &in that time it has produced one healthy "pup", which I separated lasr suummer &it is doing quite well.. The mama plant has only grown 2 additional leaves- that's 1 leaf per year! :( ..it goes outside for the summer &is now getting plenty of indirect light btwn a window &my grow lights... I just watched Gardening with Douentza, who was re-potting a 35yr monstera, which waa not particularly that much bigger than yours.. It seems like a slow growing plant, but then I see/hear how big yours (the two of you) are.. Any tips/ secrets? Or Are they just really old?
DAAAAAANGGGGGGG those roots did surprise me. 👀🌿🖤✨
I kept just pushing it because there was only ever 2 aireal roots and they didn't try to come out the bottom or through the topsoil either so I was just "okayy?? you must be fine" but nooooo it ended up being like 80% roots and 20% soil haha
Splitleaf lol that’s how my mint is rn
I got a monstera back in January and it was already way to root bound but I was nervous to repot it. I waited till yesterday and I’ve never regretted anything more. Trying to detangle the roots took so long bc I was trying not to have to cut much off. I was hoping to separate one of the plants because there’s so many individual plants in there but there was not a chance in hell that any of them were gunna separate completely 😅
It looks great in its new pot but I also wish I’d gone up another inch or even 2 in pot size.
Mine was root bound as well and lost like half the roots. Is that ok?
Oh... watch those aerial roots
Mine would attach to my wood floors.
I just got my first one and i am so excited to grow her bigger ♡
Same!!!
I seen wrapping the trellis with sphagnum Moss really feeds the aerial roots and encourages growth as well as shingling! Amazing plant,
yes absolutely! that's actually what I have now
yeay! I'm guna add a pole to mine now! I've had him 6 months, and I just repotted him.....thought he needed more space....he's my first plant that's lasted more than a month :)
Thank you for teaching me this is a climbing plant and that it needs staked! I've called mine "leggy" for years. I didn't understand why it wouldn't bush out.
happy to help Sherry!! Hope you have fun adding the trellis :)
What a gorgeous plant
Good job at keeping the pot clean 👍
Omg I can’t believe those roots and plant for that small pot it was in. But now looks great.
Your shirt is amazing. Your plant is amazing. You are amazing! Thanks for the demo!
I laughed out loud literally at "look at that roots." Because I say the same shit
I was literally twisting the cap off my water bottle when you reminded us to drink some water 😂
Nagee Graves I adore that hahahaha,my ideal viewer!
That is going to be so happy in the new pot!
Wow. You are gentle. I saw a plant lady hack off rootbound roots with a serrated edge knife, cut into the sides and everything!
Fascinating! The original pot looks like a dollar store pot, quite simple! The new one has special capabilities................:)
I just bought a new pot for my monstera an this was really helpful, thank you!
It is easier to loosen the roots if you dip a root bound plants a bucket of water.
Your monstera is bae lol and i love your glasses💖💖
I got two for my 17th birthday this year and I’m so intrigued to see how beautiful and big they get
Wow. I'm starting to love monstera plants!!!
I love that pot you're going to put it in! I have three monsteras that I'm going to need two separate and repot. I'm going to try to resell a few of them so thanks for showing this video I appreciate it so much. Maybe that's the next one L make for my station a repotting video of three of them!! I do have to do a potting up video of bought orchids I just bought 7 orchids in the past week five were rescue orchids one especially was a rescue I know it would have ended up in the trash and I put it back and then I had to come back for it. And two of them are orchids I didn't have I have over 30. And I just started collecting them since November... It wasn't that I started out to collect it's just that that's how many I have now but it might be closer to 40 with the new ones. I always put them in new bark and a new clay pot with the slits in the side made for orchids. Please come to my new CZcams station and tell me what you think of my videos I have a few posted a couple on my orchids and some of my houseplants just a tiny bit of houseplants and my coleus collection. I put all my coleus together the baby ones with the parent ones another one's I wintered over and the other ones all came from cuttings late winter early spring so there's probably over a hundred of them takes me forever to water everything. Anyhow my CZcams Channel's name is Kathleen Murphy just add orchids for coleus to the search engine and you'll find me. Please click subscribe and hopefully like and please please please leave me a comment tell me what you think I'd appreciate anybody who would come and tell me what I could do to improve I love your videos I've been a member for a long time probably since back in November so I don't know
That sip of water at the end 😍
My dream plant 😍
I love what you said about no right or wrong way as long as you're plants happy I just said that an hour ago just somebody else when there's a controversy one way or the other as long as you've been successful doing it your way versus someone else's way then keep on doing it that way. I mix half peat moss I think it's the generic brand at Lowe's and it has some fertilizer added to it it's not the great big deal and I only use that because I can't find the Coco peat stuff that's kind of on the environment so I use have potting soil Miracle-Gro or the generic brand at Lowe's and if I have old bark for my orchids I put that in if I have old potting soil I mix that in I just bought for the first time worm castings I'm going to start adding that and I did add some Miracle-Gro organic pellets like osmocote kind of thing just some of the first things I bought it up this spring early summer and they're doing really really well. After I water my orchids I soak them in water with my nutrients their orchid fertilizer some Epsom salts some seaweed fertilizer that has lots of hormones in it and I just found Cal Mag to add because Rick of Rick's orchids on CZcams says orchids are calcium Hogs so I just added that for the first time today when I watered my orchids. Anyhow after I water my orchids and they soak for a half hour or so in that nutrient solution I then take that water the Orchid leftovers I say and all my other plants get the leftovers. My house plants look better than they ever have. So come to my CZcams channel and tell me what you think someday maybe I'll have a hundred subscribers and you have like over 7,000 wow that's a lot of hard work sweetie
I AM TOTALLY SHOCKED!!!!
That plant looks healthy!!!!!
Thank you! It definitely is!
I think is fairly small to be "8 Years" old.. I have one that Grew 6 ft with Hula Hoop sized Leaves in only a year..! In all fairness, I only Watered it with nutrient Rich Pond water.
Might want to look into that...
It's not 8 years old, you must have misheard me. This plant is only 3 years old! It's been in that pot for A year, maybe that sounded like 8 haha. It doesn't have any secondary splits yet so it's definitely still a baby.
Hi, What are secondary splits?
I love your plant videos!
so rootbound. the weird thing about potted plants it that the roots will continue to grow in a circle like muscle memory.
so weird! Have you seen the videos where they're building things (patterns & fabrics & building supplies) with roots? It's pretty incredible!
Those roots are B O U N D lmao
Wow beautiful plant! I’m jealous 😍
My Monstera desperately needs a pole or something to grow up because it's spreading out like mad, but I'm worried that if I stick something in, I'll damage the roots... Thoughts?
just be careful as you do it! they're fairly hardy and can handle some damage.
Any tips for making it grow healthy like yours? I have about 4 but they’re still tiny boys and I make sure I don’t overwater or overfertilize I only fertilize once a month but yeah
1-800- GRAMPS just give them time. They will be huge in time.
Don't over-care for it, they're really easy going and I hardly ever move mine aside from rotating it every week!
Fertilizing once a month is waaaay to much. Only fertilize once or twice a year depending on height and age of the plant. I water mine about once every ten days (150ml of distilled water, in summer every week 150 ml, all depending on height). Don’t forget to spray the plant all year round about twice a week. Swiffer the leaves off once a week and once a month wipe them down carefully with a wet wipe.
just beautiful
Wow that's really a big plant in a year!
I finally have succulents! Lol if I manage to not kill these I'm going to need a beginners plants video as a next step :p
that's a good idea, I'll write that down! :) I'm excited that you're starting your own little plant gang!
Tip I’ve learned the heard way when you think your succulent needs watering..... don’t! Lol #1 killer is water! Lack of 💦 will not.
I started out same with succu's... Move forward to household plants ND now I'm a monstera Deliciosa mom lol
I think you are really coming into your own! You seem much more comfortable in this video 💜💜
Ah thank you Tina! That means so much!!
wow!!! those roots are impressive, still adore your plant videos!
No kidding eh? Thanks so much girl!!
You’re gonna need a bigger trellis what a beautiful plant. you must take good care of her
Love your plants videos. I recommend you to get gardening gloves, since I got ones I realized how much I actually needed them 😂(sorry for muy bad English)
I always have a pair in my hands when I'm out shopping but I never end up buying some. I feel like I'm looking for a pattern or something that doesn't exist haha maybe I should just bite the bullet and buy some random ones! (your English was PERFECT!)
@@Splitleaf So hard to work in small potted plants with gloves. I think if you scrub your fingernails with a brush, no one should care.
What? I love the feel of the dirt in my hands when repotting plants indoors, it's so therapeutic! For gardening outdoors I wear gloves, but not for my house plants, that's my bonding time with them.
Oh, and please do a plant tour video :D
Soooo useful! Thank you. Now I shall attempt to not kill my plant! Eek!
Beautiful plant Sarah!
How do you know when it’s enough water in that kind of pot and don’t accidentally let it overflow from the bottom?
Thank you, my twin Monstera plants Steve and Stephen are just over a year old, and were bought in a pot about the size of the one you transferred into.
I was worried about how to get them into a larger pot, but they may not need that yet. They do need a trellis though, I didn't know that.
Hello and thank you for the video. My Monstera plant has grown leaves towards the floor as I didn’t have a moss pole and the branches are too stiff to bring up towards a pile now. Is there anyway to fix it?
SHE IS SUCH A BAE
How did you get it so thick? Rather than tall, you have many shoots coming from the soil? Is this more than one plant? I’m contemplating adding a few together! :)
I propagated it once and added it to thicken it and it's directly below a diffused skylight so it gets a lot of light nearly constant! So that keeps the growth pretty condensed since it's not seeking to grow towards the light since it's so dispersed :)
Splitleaf thank you so much for getting back to me! I’m going to do the same!!
Zakary Smiley,
A plant which is pot bound thicken the plant. A big pot promotes a plant to grow tall.
@@JACKIELVSGOD that's a little bit of irony! Thanks for the tip!
💚
Woah! Those were some crazy roots! Beautiful plantt
5:27 my fav part!
What soil did you use? I just found your page and I got a juvenile monster a few months back ans the base (node) of one side is really flopping over so I’m thinking it needs to be repotted
Hi there! you said you re potted your monstera 3 times, I'd like to ask how long you've had your plant for? I feel like mine is growing a bit slow.. I have two, but the second one I bought tends to be happier than the other. :( I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong?
Dalena Tran might mean your plant is root bound. Try repotting into new fresh soil to encourage growth.
If it’s root bound, loosen up the roots and do some root pruning and discard old soil and add fresh new soil in bigger pot.
THE ROOM SYSTEM IS BRAULIC Oh my god that is one happy plant.
Hi Im new here!! Plant crazy 😂 cant stop buying plants. I have a momstera and she is growing beautiful!!! Healthy but I did notice that some of the roots are sticking up and not getting water.. Im thinking to buy soil and pack her in more so those roots are not exposed ? I want to propagate but soo scared to disrupt her energy 😫😫 .
Mine was in a tiny pot as well, during re potting it lost like half the roots but still has an OK amount. Will it be ok?
Gosh! My monsters is literally growing like an umbrella rather than up. How can I make it be straighter?
I got my second. The first died. Now this second also start to get yellow at edge of leaf. Roots are also visible under the pot. What to do? Plz help
Nice video.From where did you buy the pot from?
haha - this is great, love this vid! :)
Thanks for sharing your tips
Do you have the name of this exact planter by chance?? Size and all. I can’t find one at my local Home Depot/Lowe’s.
How do you water all your house plants? Deep water? When I do mine to my indoor plants it takes forever for the soil to dry and I’m using succulent cactus soil mixed with perlite. The struggle is real on drying out soil. Haha
Omg subbed instantly this video was sooo good
Thanks for the video! I need to repot my monstera plant, it’s all over the place! 🤨
Rhonda Lynn happy to hear it was helpful!! Good luck with your wacky plant!!
Monstera update? :)
I wish mine was growing like that. I'm afraid to do that to the roots, i don't want to break them
What do you do when it starts to get taller from climbing up the support? Do you have to add a longer support? Would you remove the first one of keep it in place with the addition of a taller support?
I remove it and add a new support but you can buy some moss poles on amazon or etsy i’ve seen that can add extensions to it! I typically try to remove the smaller one entirely, just need to be careful if the roots have grabbed onto the moss pole :)
@@Splitleaf Thank you for your answer. I just bought a stake yesterday and I hope that it helps because my monstera is all over the place and needs some support. It is growing a few aerial roots because it really needs some more support.
When to repot, a lot of people ask me if its okay to repot during hot weather summer..?
its been in there 8 years? or a year?
Wow!
Beautiful plant 🌱
yes i am shocked
Love the pot! Where did you get it from?

extremely late comment but I would like to know how your monstera is doing now!? I was going to comment I think it needs more light because of the leggy and small fenestrations but it's 3 years later! Has it gotten huge?
My monstera is in a 16 inch pot now and I figured I can’t go bigger… I need to learn how to trim the roots 🥹
love this! super helpful to see thanks for sharing
Wow how did you grow them? 😭 I’m new to growing monstera and Idk I think my monstera is not doing so well :/// it’s wilting and I don’t see them growing anymore so I’ve just repotted them for the first time Idk what should I do?? 😭 and is it okay if I mix different soil? Should I add fertiliser if yes when oh God I don’t wanna see them die 😭💔💔
There is a host of you tube videos on their care. Very helpful they are especially potting soil and watering. Look for videos where the monsteras have good growth.
Why do the root grow out like that? Do you have to place them in the soil?
My leaves on monstera are turning yellow (well only small ones), not like dry yellow but vibrant yellow... what it means? :/
typically overwatering!
Actually I found out it could be because of stress..i propagate it from sister's monstera to my apartment. Because other leaves are okay and it started to getting new leaves.. yeyy. Thanks for your help anyway. :)
link us to your super cool pot plzzzz! i love the detachable bottom, is it from Lowes or Home Depot??
Took me a while but I found it! (Link in the description). It's from Home Hardware!
I’m blind - I don’t see the link!

I’m the 1k like how cool!!
Can I just free up and trim the root without moving to a bigger pot? kinda like the pot size right now.
mine isn't so happy. I have had it for a year, it used to be in a darker spot but now i have moved to a bright indirect sunlight room. There is no new growth and black patches with a yellow outline on the leaves! what could be the issue? Repot or not?
thanks for this video!!
I am a little confused about where new leaves can grow from.. if you have one plant (one main stem with multiple nodes/roots and leaves), new leaves just grow out of the stem of the newest leaf. If you are propagating and you cut the plant into sections, each with a stem/leaf and node or root, and then try to propagate the cuttings, is it possible for new leaves to grow from all the cuttings, or only a cutting containing the plant's newest leaf? And if you take a cutting from a mother plant and the cutting contains the newest stem, node, and leaf, can that mother plant still produce new leaves? Sorry if this is confusing I'm new to all of this! Thank you!!
Samantha Braver as long as there is a node it doesn’t matter where you take the cutting from, newer growth spots tend to work better just because it’s already in a growing stage so it roots faster but not significantly! And the mother plant will continue to grow, they tend to find a new spot to force a new leaf out, so no worries there :)
You’re like my favorite person rn , we literally have the same personalities💖
Is this one plant or several in one pot. How do you get it bushy?
Wish me luck about to do mine and it's been in its tiny pot for 2 years 😬😬😬
rose oooooh good luck!!!!
@@Splitleaf thanks for your video! The boy was very root bound but I managed to cut it from the old pot without cutting any or the roots 🙌 He's looking alot happier already xx
This will b my next plant. 😊
Love this !!!!
Make more plant videos!!
Great video! Could you share the soil you have used here?
