Hey Jeff! I am finding ALL my plants do much better with more light than they recommend. I have had an African Violet for at least 5 years. I had it in their recommended spot of bright indirect sun, but it only would put out leaves once in a while. I mindlessly moved it to a very bright spot in direct south facing sun by accident. (My windows have a tint on them to keep fabrics from fading) I didn't notice it until I saw the thing had Flowers!!! I thought "Holy Crap!!" and also my snake plant! It is in the same window and that put out a whole other plant!! But when I put plants in my low light north facing living room, it just dies a slow death, LOL I have added some grow lights and a whole new shelf system in that south facing window and north facing one as well. So I am excited to see how everything does this year. And I am anxious to put my syngoniums out on my front porch again. They just go wild out there.
Yup! I wish companies would market the plants under the actual light that they need to THRIVE
Lots of people greatly underestimate how much light a plant can take until it starts to burn or bleach it. A moment of silence to all the snake plants in windowless bathrooms...
Lolll I love this entire comment. Can't wait for my grow lights to arrive. 👍🏾
I love your cute graphic at the end of the episodes!
Thanks so much!!! I had an artist in Ottawa design that for me
a quick tip to minimalize the chance of rot when making cuttings: let them dry off for 2 or 3 days, I had to learn this the hard way when I lost 6 out of 7 monstera variegata cuttings.
I dont know why but I never heard that in any youtube videos ever, all they usually do is cut and place in water
Thanks for the info!
The variegated ones might be more susceptible to rot. Thai constellation is famous for getting root rot while regular monstera is one of the most forgiving plants I know.
You should always let your cuttings stay out for at least 2 days ( more if the stem is thicker) before putting them into water to grow roots.
This video was helpful, that light meter was something new to me thanks. I have a new Thai constellation I hope I'm doing this good ,🤞🏿🤞🏿
Good luck!
I sort of accidentally bought this tiny monstera that turned out too be two in one. (They’re still together two years later). I put th ‘em in a pot, stick it by the east facing sliding glass door. Then ignored it except for watering about once a week. Well it kept growing and I didn’t want a monstera. It finally kept flopping over so each Oma t got its own stick to be clipped to. So that carried on for a while and the stems or petioles got to big to use a clip up station the stick and I was forced to to revelation that I needed a moss pole. So I went on Amazon and bought all the supplies, put them on my planting table in the middle of the kitchen. And looked them every time I walked in the kitchen. Finally I had to make it and it h as to be repotted with one of those acrylic poles and moss in a chunky mixture I made. The pile is in and leans to the front and right. I can’t seem to get art it up right. If I don’t tilt it back it drips I to my dogs water bowl. So I tell it backwards a bad it drips out the back into the floor. What a girl to do. I see a repot coming up just to straighten it out. But I’ve got one leaf with three fenestrations and the second and smaller plant has one leaf with two fenestrations. Nothing else since I put it on the moss pole. But now I’ve got not one but two monsteras all against my will.
Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
Beautiful plants, great video (and funny recreation segment!) lol
Thanks so much! 😊 I almost didn't include it haha
😅😁😄@@EverythingPlants
Watched this went and repotted my Thai with a plank - cause it was time! It already looks bigger
Nice! Keep me posted when it gets a new leaf!
My monstera is looking so sad. I am so glad I found your page. I'll be doing your recommendation, asap.
What do you think was causing it to look sad?
@@EverythingPlants sorry for the late response. I'm not sure. But I have repotted to a smaller pot and moved it to a place where the east sun shines. It's slowly getting better. Still have droopy leaves and some yellow and brown spots. I don't see any pests. 🤷♀️😢
Thanks Jeff, that was an absolute treat, and fab advice! So impressed with the giant fenestrated Monstera leaves...they look stunning, and give an amazing jungle feel to your collection. One plea from me, please don't cut it back before it reaches the ceiling :)....it would be fascinating to see just how big you can get the leaves within an interior environment. After watching this, I'm now looking for one of those beautiful 'Thai Constellation' varieties. I noticed in the close-ups of the two Constellations that one had variegated petioles and the other plain green. I wondered if that was a spontaneous variation trait?
I learnt so much with this video especially about the roots going opposite the leave , my experience is definitely more light bigger leaves ❤❤
Thank you for this informative video. I have a regular & Thi. This helps a lot.
Glad it was helpful!
Hope you had a great vacation 😀 Thanks for the video 😀🇨🇦
Vacation was fantastic... Now back to reality lol
How would one go about shoving a plank into the pot of a large monstera? I am house/plant-sitting. This monstera's lower stems are bound to dowels. If your index finger is the dowel, your wrist is the stem. How would you add more support?
Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing plants lovely collection beautiful houseplants lovely collection beautiful
Thanks for watching as always
Question. Do you wet that wood plank. You mentioned for the moss poles you need to but what do you do for the plank ?😊
You don't need to, but whenever I spray down the leaves to clean them off I give the plank an extra spray lol
So now as I sit here in my chair watching your video I wonder “what side is my moss poke, the right or the wrong side”. Thanks Jeff now I need to get out of my comfy chair and look. Thanks Jeff. I sure hope that I got it right. I’ll have to check.
Welcome back Jeff! Hope you had awesome holidays! I got my first monstera pretty big and there were multiple plants going in all directions, it was so rootbound when I got it there was no rearrangement of the separate plants at all, ended up selling it and started with a smaller single one I could properly stake on one side
How's it looking now?
Great tips Jeff!
How do you change/extend your support planks? Or do you use a plank of the desired height from the start?
Wow I’m trying to learn as I’m saving my daughter n laws monstera Ive have a bit of a green thumb and watched you videos before about staking and what a difference ! The other was there were no splits in the leaves and now yesss I’m getting the best split leaves now ❤️! The bonus video of your friend the monstera I took over was way worse but similar situation so wow thanks so much for your knowledge my daughter is sooo impressed now ❤️✌🏻🇨🇦
So glad you were able to save her plant.... Nice work!
Question, I'm holding up my monstera with sticks in a teepee form, and some plant velcro. I don't think any parts of the plant is actually growing into the sticks, I didn't arrange it that was, I just supported it from falling over. Will that matter for sizing up? Does it actually have to be attached?
As long as it's supported then it shouldn't really matter. It doesn't necessarily need to attach to the board but just supported vertically
Glad you’re back! Thanks for another instructive video. Monstera supports: do they need to be planks? Or will a bamboo stake suffice?
I would use a plank, something that's wide enough to support the back as well as some of the aerial roots
This was so informative...& entertaining 😂
I love this!!!
I saw your story this weekend and I couldn't send you anything because my monsteras are doing great 😅 Thanks to Lee 😊
I really love how good yours look! Can't wait to grow the Albo and Thai con.
His channel is awesome
What is your opinion on bottom watering? I feel nature does it, roots go deeper to find water. Thanks
Ya....I don't do it only because I have many plants to water, but bottom watering is a great method for sure!
Thanks for posting! May I ask how you manage the heat in your grow room? I imagine it can get pretty hot with all of those grow lights.
All those lights are LED..... So they are very low heat emitting. The lights themselves are warm to touch but generally don't throw off a ton of heat.... So no issues there
looks like i need more grow lights im getting maybe half what you have there
What type do you use?
@EverythingPlants I have the highland track lighting by my window but right now in the winter that only provides around 300 fc. I'm trying to stretch it and cover an area of 4'x8' but thar only gets me a little light over the whole area.
Good job Jeff❤
How do you add on to the stake when the plant outgrows its height?
How tall are you talking?
@@EverythingPlants Any height above the stake. Many people grow these to the ceiling. Committing to a wooden stake vs a moss pole limits the height. I just wondered how you add to the stake with the ability to keep it stable.
Gŕeat video, Jeff. Thanks so much. ❤😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
I was going to ask about the gooseneck lights. I'm going to see if you have a discount code.
I don't have a Sansi discount code but I do have them listed in my Amazon page.... That is also in the description of this video.
@EverythingPlants thanks Jeff! I missed your videos, but hopefully, the break served you well!
Thanks!
Welcome!
What's the width on the boards you use for your thais? I have some 3" board but I'm scared to add it because i don't want the stem of my Thai to eventually be wider than the board 😂
I have a Thai Con I’m currently struggling with, the oldest bottom leaves are starting to yellow. I keep it under a grow light so I’m sure it gets ample light, and only water when the soil is dry. What should I do?
Feel free to send a picture to my Instagram so I can better see what the leaves look like.
Can you get those planks at a big box store? Exactly what do I ask for? Thank you.
I believe it's a 2-in wide pine plank.... Commonly used for mattresses....these are bed frame planks haha
Thanks for you tips
You're welcome 😊
Hi, Jeff I bought a new monstera plant had it for two weeks so I decided to water it, after a day, it started weeping waters coming from the leaves. Is that normal?.
It's called guttation and it's basically the plant expelling excess water....
Can this be applied to elephant ears plant?
They do like light but I've never seen one on a support stake....
Yay! You are back! 😂
I'm back until camping season this summer lol
@EverythingPlants, you have to do what you love. Life is too short.
Which Light Meter App For Plants do you use please? Link please?
It's called Photone app
Hi Jeff, I probably already asked you this but what kind of wood plank does it have to be cedar or can it be pine? In other words will it rot? Thanks.
Most of my planks are pine. Cedar is best for the rot resistant qualities, but I've never had a pine board rot yet
what app do you use on your phone to measure the light?
It's called photone
💚
M💚NSTERAS!!! Glad I Wound Up With A: G💚💚D L💚💚KING B💚Y THAI!!! I DO NEED To W💚RK On Getting HIM Back Up Into The Sunlight Where HE BEL💚NGS After Watering HIM!!!
❤❤❤
What was the app name you using? Thanks
It's called Photone
@@EverythingPlantsthanks Jeff.
Rất tuyệt vời
