Hi! The leggy plant is a rhaphidophora tetrasperma, no relation to monsteras. For some reason a bunch of companies label them as “mini monstera” which just confuses people.
The other two look like they are monstera borsigiana which is basically the sibling of monstera deliciosa. They do the same thing and have the same growth habit as deliciosa but the leaves tend to stay smaller.
Monstera and philodendron are two different genus. Lots of times monstera get labeled as philodendrons, but they are completely different geniuses.
I alse have an ick when people mix up genuses.
You made all your audience feel normal if Laura lives with messes in her spaces we are not too far off. Winter is the time we all check our seed starting areas not matter how small or large. I giggled today yay you are like your audience. Whooo I feel normal lol
I love how the studio has morphed over the years. It’s being used so well for a home business with kids!
Looks organized and cozy now.
Laura, this vid is a great example of how you show many of us what's possible when we think it's impossible. I'm sure a lot of people would've tossed those plants that broke or did not know what to do with the main plants that needed to be repotted.
Agree!
You and Aaron made the studio look so fresh and tidy. Nice job on replanting your plants. Everything looks great! 😃
Get the table top carpenter to come back and build a small table at end of big table for the catch-all items, but build it lower so that trash can just slides underneath. Use a big basket on the top to make tidying up easier to carry around and put away the accumulated items.
If a plant could speak, they would feel like me (age 63) being told to stretch every morning. It’s uncomfortable but is paying off. You inspire me. I am going to rearrange my plants too. I need to get them away from the windows before that crazy cold air puts frost on them. Stay safe and warm these next few days.
Was anyone else holding their breath during the re-potting??!!😅 Can't wait to see the progress! Looks nice and tidy 😊
Have you considered rearranging the room, so that the pretty painting and gray console were on the back wall by the back door (under the mini-split)? That would be so attractive to be the first thing to see when you walked into the studio. You could also move your long potting table to that end of the room (so that we would see the pretty painting and console behind you when you’re filming). The standing lights, camera tripod, etc., could be stored over in the back right corner.
It would really open the room, and Aaron’s desk could be kept on its same wall, just slid further toward the front door.
Nice to have things cleaned up! Whenever I see the studio, I want to move all the wooden shelving onto the same wall for a more uniform look. Then I would put all the white shelving together as well. And I want to move those big, round baskets to the top of the black shelving. It’s easier to organize someone else’s space, then tackle your own! 😁
Isn’t playing with houseplants the best!! I love my houseplants during wintertime when I’m missing being outside in the garden. They get over-loved during the winter, and under-watered during the summer😂😂😂 My husband got concerned regarding the abundance of houseplant purchases last winter, convinced they would die of neglect during the summer. I’m happy to report most are still alive, and the ones that did die must have been bad plants😂😂😂
“I don’t really care for the mopping or the dusting”. lol. Same Aaron. Same.
New life goal: a heated plant space where I can putter to my hearts content. The studio is such a nice space to get work done! Feels like a home, not like a greenhouse, yet still so comfy. Sadly, I have a dining room table and people that expect the soil to be removed before they eat there. (the nerve!) LOL
😂 I have an extra table I could use, but I always seem to end up in the kitchen near the sink. My dear husband frowns on the mess it makes. Poor guy.
I had no idea but I have monsteras that definitely need poles to climb. Thank you!
Laura those plants look so much better on those poles.. I’ve never been a fan of those because they always look so messy. They do not look messy with how you put them in the pots with poles.
January is a cleaning and recharging month!! 🎉
Those monsteras would look fabulous on the top of your plant stands that you use as a backdrop for your weekly recaps. If the ceiling had some lights installed, specifically for the top shelf, they would really round off that back wall. I love monsteras 😊
Good morning, Laura ☕️. Looks clean and fresh! Those Monsteras are so pretty! Well done, Laura. Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈🐈🐈
Organizing is great winter therapy! As for the plants, I'm sure I would have broken more of those stems. 😮
“Like a lasso” LOVE IT! And YOU , Laura!
What a great project. Any plant lover has had overgrown stems AND has broken stems while working with them. Your solutions and training tips were really helpful. Also, watching you organize and clean really inspires me! Don’t know why, but it often motivates me. 😂
How timely! I'm planning to repot my mini monstera soon and found some great ideas online for making my own climbing stake for it.
Morning, All ☕️❣️Laura, thanks for a great monstera training tutorial👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I just love how real and honest you are. It is so empowering as a young Gardner, thank you
Monsteras need a free draining soil of broken up coir brick, succulent mix, pumice or perlite, and some potting mix, well mixed.
Usually i put a good amount of scoria at the bottom of the pot.
If you only use potting mix they tend to get root rot.
The reason the leaves are so straggly is due to lack of light.
Aroids and most tropicals are not like ordinary house plants.
Looks great Laura! I’m amazed what you did with those three plants!
What a difference with both projects! You are very patient, Laura.🌷🌷
You should install kitchen base cabinets in the area next to the door where you have white wire racks. And then add open shelving on top.
Soaking the moss poles in fertiliser water is genius. Thanks for that tip Laura!
This was the boost of encouragement I needs to repot my poor monstera who has been weighing down and looks unhappy.🙁
It wouldn’t matter what project you do - I look forward to all your videos.
Laura, watch video of you repotting in your studio and I had a thought. Have you considered putting the Garden Answer Logo on the empty space on the wall above your grow lights shelving. Would be a great space for free advertising for newcomers and help fill in blank space. Love your videos, been watching for years. ❤️
I Love reorganizing videos. It gets me in the mood to clean myself! It’s amazing how seed starting shelves get filled with random stuff. I’ve never seen those poles. Thanks for sharing. What are the white fluffy plants on the first shelf closest to the door?
Love these combo videos. Learned a lot by watching you repot monstera’s with poles to climb. Thank you Laura and whoever edited!! 😊😊😊
Glad to see that youtube has organized all the comments together again, instead of members and non-members.👌
Good day to be indoors! We have 40 below wind chills, snow and wind. Organizing and some cooking on tap today.
ahhh, a clean space.. helps my mind to have things organized so i can get everything all messy again, hahaha.. IDEA FOR THE GARBAGE CAN: i bet builder-magician Paul could fashion an easy table top on long legs to fit over that trash can... leaving at least the area by you open (you might want to hide the front for camera appeal), put the garbage can on a large plant caddy, then just wheel it out from the table to throw trash in it - you have your table top for convenience and the g. can is still available to use... of course, i'm no builder, but it sounds like a top, a front, maybe 1 other side to hide the can, the open area for the can, and legs tall enough to fit next to the work table... i'm just the idea man, my hubby is the builder-magician here, hahaha... anyway, studio looks good, plants look so much better, and ready for seed starting.. ps.. it's nice to know even the experts can snap a plant like that, lol... whew, it happens to me more than i care to think.. OOPS! 🙃 looks like a great day!! 🥰❤ thanks for the video!! 🥰❤
DH loved the chicken with lemon a dill recipe yesterday. He wants it added to the keep list. Now off to go get my space clean, well, more organized. Lol
The Studio looks much better...as well as the three plants. That was tricky, as the stems break easily, but what a difference! The plants will be happy. 🪴🪴🪴😁
You have a magic green thumb touch your repotted house plants will be beautiful in a month!!! 🙌🏻✨💚
I just always love how kind you guys are to each other! And I’m cracking up watching you organize while my house needs ME to organize it!
LOVE THE PLANTS AND THE SUPPORTS THAT ARE HOLDING THE PLANTS UP RIGHT ARE SO NEET LOOKING, NEVER SEEN SUCH A THING BEFORE
Garden Answers, Laura, Aaron and freinds~ You can cut up an onion~put 1/2 it on a plate and put it on a dresser in your child's, sick persons room~it will draw all germs to it. Use the other 1/2~divide this half again. Put each part in a plastic bag and put each foot in the plastic bag, then socks over the bags, feet. Due this at bed time~you will be amazed at how quickly one will recover. You can also put a cut up onion on a plate and put it in the refrigerator or any area where there is an odor(a freshly painted room, anything stinky) for 24 hours and the smell will be gone.
I'm glad you are taking care of your houseplants, they deserve it! You sound a little sick, I hope you are okay!
The Plant Shelving Units Of Varying Types, Gives Off An Unkept Appearance When Grouped Together, Though You've Just Organized And Cleaned. Consider Purchasing Yet Another Large Black Shelving Unit To Match The Others, Rather Than That Space Being Left In A 'Hodgepodge' State. ~ Happy New Year !
Now that you are done organizing your space, please come do mine too! So annoying not to be able to stand up long enough to get things done and walk around to be able to put things away. It looks so much better Laura! Awesome job 👏
Have a blessed day 🙏❤️
Hey Laura It's always good to have organization And a day to do deal with chaos.
I am the same. Any flat surface becomes a place to stack things. Good work clearing stuff out. Thanks for the inspiration.
This repotting of the Monster was just in time for me as I have a very oversized plant that needed staking. I didn’t know about these staking poles. Thank you!
I would realy like to see a Garden Answer calendar with views of the garden and a map thankyou
Hi Laura and Aaron! The studio looks so good, and the plants look much better on the poles. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks for reporting those plants in a video. I was beginning to think I was the only one that broke plant stems when trying to train them on a pole. I need to get a couple of those sphagnum poles.
Pro tip: when your Dyson battery dies you can get an adapter that takes dewalt batteries. The 4v gives better suction than the Dyson battery ever did in mine!
Good morning all have a safe and blessed day ❤️
Those monsteras are going to love their name home!
I have been searching for pins for my Philodendron Florida Ghost plant and I couldn't find the right one. Thank you for showing the Greening pins. 💜
This is the chore I loathe the most, however, so very glad in the end I did it! I starting trying to rid the house of "stuff" for donation every Jan/Feb. It just feels good, clean. And then I'm ready for spring/summer to play in the garden ;)
How is it that this video makes me feel so good! The plants look so happy.
The rhaphidophora (Tetrasperma) is so incredibly easy to root!! Just chop and prop! Stick it in water and then replant all of them together and it’ll be a stunning show. They grow so fast. Mine in western Washington like medium light and to totally dry out before waterings. Took me forever to finally find one now they are everywhere.
Mess loves company! We all need a good straightening up once in a while. And those plants look great now-will look forward to an update on them😊
I love the color of your wall!! We're supposed to get high winds on Friday. We had severe flooding on Tuesday.
Hopefully it won’t be too bad for you.
Totally agree! I left my plants in pretty good shape in the garage before goung to Texas for two weeks. When I came back they were in bad shape. I decided to plant this spring everything i can and not to over winter in my garage my roses etc. If they make it then yea!
So next I will work with my roses and pine in the garage and start seeds under grow lights.
I just stick any monstera I break right into the soil… they always take hold😊
I could watch you pot and repot houseplants all day long! Do you recall where you got that adorable Nutcracker fairy garden set?
I love a good cleaning/ organizing video, but especially from you and your gardening spaces!
I have a Monstera Adisonii that I'm close to giving up on. "What do you want from me??" If I can't make you happy we can't be friends anymore. 🤪
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I did not know about planting poles and what to do with my straggling, leggy monsteras. I now have my work cut out for me!
I used bolt cutters to shorten the wire base of those poles. Made them a LOT more steady in the soil.
It is refreshing to watch you being human, sharing your frustrations over a Monstera 😂, yet still teaching us how to fix it. Frankly, I would not have any difficult or trailing plants. You are best at gardening outside with nature. I would reduce the amount of house plants you have on those big shelves and use the shelves for your 2024 seedlings. 😉 You both did a good job cleaning.
I'd be sad if they eliminated the house plants. It's too early in my area to start most outside plants. I tend to turn my focus to the houseplants in the wintertime.
I follow another CZcamsr who has tons of house plants, when she is working on training a monstera onto poles she wraps spots where roots will grow in plastic wrap to keep the humidity and moister up until the roots grow and take hold, might be a good thing to try for yours :)
"I got it cleaned up just to get it dirty again." I am sure we can all relate to that! What a rewarding outcome though!. The days may be cold but they are getting longer each passing day. It will be spring clean up before we know it.
Douglas is a lovable kitty. He just tries to grab you because as far as he is concerned he is not finished with his petting session. Love your channel
lol at Laura hating every minute with the monsteras
If you want, you could also try a sock organizer to organize the camera lenses, cords, recording aparratus as needed 12.6" x 12.6"x 4" (20 squares). They'd have their own 'cell' and wouldn't fall through the shelving...was it a wire shelf? (amazon has a set of 3 for $10 - It's 2 20 cell organizers and a third cloth box in gray. The squares look to be about 3 inches wide...that might fit your camera lenses.) The third box may take care of the over sized stuff. The studio looks great!
The Philodendrons say thank you so much Laura. Please let us see the progress.
Outstanding! I will take loose stems from Pothos and Philodendron plants, stick them in my fish aquarium, and Submerging only the roots. 🌱💚🙏
For some reason it feels good to see someone else organize their space 😅 the plants look great 👍👍
I am so glad I watched your videos because we got some snow this week, heavy snow, and if I hadn't seen you mention it in your video about shaking off the snow, I could have lost some evergreen trees or they would have been very misshaped. Got the ice and snow knocked off and they look great. Thanks for the information that you give us!!
First thing in the morning, I look for your video. My grandchildren spends hours looking forward too seeing you all. We thank you for motivating, empowering, and educating my children, grandchildren, and now my g. grands. We are having so much fun with gardening and purchasing lots of seeds. Blessings for 2024 and Thanks Again.
My growing shelves are such a mess and it made me feel much better to see someone else in similar situations in winter, and Alaska has long winters, we can't plant much until June 😮, so January I chill until February, my only blooming things are Amaryllis, which are great to give me some winter happiness when they bloom, staggered ❤, love them and I like your cleaning jb😊
You're right Laura. I spendthrift whole winter cleaning out and reorganizing so that's all done before gardening season. It feels so good yo get that done!😊
I understand how you feel this time every year I have to straighten up my pantry as well as my craft room. I own a store in the arts and craft, Camary and Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and at the end of the year everything gets thrown all over the place, trying to find stuff put things back. I understand I’ve been working on the two rooms the last three days they’re almost done. Good luck with yours.🌺🌸🌼
My whole house exploded and is a mess and I don’t wanna be in it. It it’s -41 outside so we have to be so I want to clean. But I don’t know where to start. So I cleaned the baby’s room before his nap. And now I’m watching you clean instead. 😅
Laura I have to say when you clean you really clean
Good Morning! ❄️ Perfect video for today! We are under a winter storm warning! I am preparing for round 2 of snow! I have been repotting, too! 😳🥶❄️🌬☃️💚
Best garden videos on CZcams🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤🎉🎉
You definitely inspire me to get started to clean & organize Laura! Those plants already look so happy repotted! Thanks for sharing😊
Hey Laura! First time commenter long time viewer
I have a monstera that I need to train. Thank you for the video. You made it look so doable.
❤ as always I am inspired to repot some of my plants that are pleading for greener pastures ❇️😻🌿❇️ thank you Laura and Aaron you're always helpful in many ways 🫶🏻
Random thought Aaron and Laura after watching your latest recap video - As long it is humane/safe, would you ever consider attaching a GoPro camera on a collar to Russell (just a couple of times) to watch “a day in his life in the gardens”? 😺 Your viewers might love it! (There is a Instagram-er that does this and it is quite enlightening and entertaining to watch.)
“I had a thought” If you’d hang your 2 beautiful baskets, untill you’ll need them, it would free up some space on your cabinet.
Hello Everyone! 🙂
Such a good feeling of accomplishment when we get organized! Any ideas on how to soften t-shirts? Hubby surprised me with G.A Russell and cheddar tshirt and it is very rough! Any ideas would be appreciated ❤
I have a huge Monstera plant that I’m really close to giving away because it’s so gangly and unattractive looking! No wonder…..who knew it needed a pole to climb up? (Well, everyone but me, probably). My plant sits on a 4ft stand and I used to let the aerial roots just grow over the sides onto the floor, until I discovered they had actually attached themselves to the wood. Unfortunately, it left a few nasty marks when I pried them up. Another reason for me not to be wild about this guy. So, the refresh on your little monsteras couldn’t have been more timely for the sake of the relationship I have with my Monstera. Now I’m going to repot him with a pole, trim the roots, and attempt to make friends again with “Monster-plant”. After all, it is a new year, it was partly my fault and everyone deserves a second chance, right? Thanks so much for the help……oh, and “Monster-plant” thanks you too. 😉
I have a huge monstera and I didn’t know it needed a pole either 🥴 I’ve just been cutting the wild stems off 😂😂😂 looks like I’ll be getting a pole for mine too 🤗
Check online for great ideas for making your own pole for monstera.
I tell my husband all the time that tackling projects like this is enormously easier when there are two people doing it!! Looks wonderful!!! ❤️💫❤️
Laura looks clean and fresh!!❤
I don’t know about Monstera Minima but those look like juvenile Monstera Deliciosa. The Rhaphidophora tetrasperma is commonly named Mini Monstera. You could that chop the mini monstera chop into nodes, propagate them and maybe get a fuller pot of plant.
Oh to have the energy Laura has!!! My season is so very different this year. Mine is the season of retirement, sorting, and downsizing. Then, moving from California to Ohio. I'll miss it here, I will be closer to family.
I could almost hear the plants thanking you! 😅
I have never seen those moss training poles before! I’ve only used the skinny bamboo poles cut to size and then I use the soft butterfly clips to train the little stems. I’ll have to look for the kind you used, thank you!
I'm definitely gonna need an update on both types of monstera in a few months. Mine look just like that right now 😅
