ROOT ROT RESCUE | saving my mostera thai constellation from root rot

I was so excited to get this monstera thai constellation. So when it started to rapidly decline and I found the root rot, I was very worried. Luckily, with some perlite and a whole lot of patience I was able to rescue this beautiful plant.

I looked at your hair and thought "Wow, you're variegated too!"

The legit rot rot rescue video. Not a click bait. Thankyou

[yasitsjle]

This was the best video of seeing how to cure root rot. I rotted my monsters when I switched to Leca and need a miracle to happen thank you for this!!!

I enacted the worst root rot I've ever seen on one of my plants on my massive 3.5 year old monstera and this gave me hope. I don't care if it takes one year for each of the six sections, as long as it survives. Thank you!

I'm SO greatful that you decided to document this whole process!! Super helpful! Especially because SO many people have had rot issues with their Thai Constellations😩 but what a beautiful turn out!😍 This is my favorite Monstera because of how beautiful they are even without any splits in the leaves! This type of veriegation is so stunning!

I started my root rot rescue mission today so my fingers are crossed that it actually does flourish! This was beautiful to watch 😍 patience is a virtue!

I wanted to provide an update! I was a month in and was ready to give up. I pulled it out of the perlite and low and behold there was a root forming and a growth coming!!! That was a month in and I had kept it at a west facing backyard window that gets lots of light! And now at the two month mark I have a baby leaf and a new leaf on the way! Thank you so much!! I'm so grateful you shared your experience and tips!! 💚💚💚

Today I noticed a tiny new growth on a thai I thought I'd lose. The joy can't be described:) I followed your advice for another one with root rot so fingers crossed!

[sentimentallia]

Ahhh I was so nervous I thought you were going to show a sad ending. Happy it worked out. Your Thai is so gorgeous I am feelin inspired to get one 😇

[teannadranchuk]

Thank you for this video! I thought my baby was a goner but it’s already growing so many healthy new roots 😇

[JamKriCarEmm]

Thanks for the response.
I did the deed today. Took it out of soil completely. Trimmed roots, removed all soil from the roots. There is roots but they were very small and and the thicker ones were firm.
Did the peroxide dip, rinsed, and I placed in Perlite only and used a cut soda bottle as well to keep and eye on progress.
I went ahead and divided the plants with leaves and growth points.
Hope I have a similar result.

Shout out from Australia here. Thank you so so much! You are a life saver!

I'm so relieved for you! It's so upsetting to see a much loved plant at deaths door, isn't it? My 6 yr old deliciosa just got severe root rot after i split his roots and put them in too big of a pot with too wet soil (it only took 5 days for the roots to entirely rot 😭) so I'm hoping that the stems i have in perlite with coco coir at the base now will root eventually, but it's great to see your timeline and now how healthy your constellation is! Fingers crossed for everyone treating root rot!

First I wanna say you are such a joy to watch!! Thank you for your amazing content I just went through heart surgery so watching your videos have helped keep my mind off things a lot!!
The tai looks so good can’t believe how much it flourished after root rot!! Way to go such an amazing achievement!

[navidfarkhondehpay]

It's such a coincidence that you and wildfern both uploaded a video about your thai constellations rotting within a day of eachother! Awesome video :)

[MSe]

I'm going to try this and hope it works! They weren't kidding when they said it's super Prine to root rot! Looks like your seller gave you one with several node points which is nice too!

[meltheartist]

I *love* your energy! You are fun to watch. Lots of great information here, too. Thank You! Please keep posting plant videos. xo

[tarrenkittie]

So jealous of that gorgeous Thai constellation, looking fabulous 😍 I have been rehabbing a monstera deliciosa for 7 months and can relate to the excitement over new leaves. 😊 One day I hope to find a Thai constellation cutting that I can acquire with out selling organs lol 😆

[brittanyrjo]

Only video that actually gives detail! Thank you! Happy for you!

[KarenLovesDranna]

you just gave me hope. I got my monstera a couple weeks ago, bare root. it was packed well but got held up in shipping during a heat wave. I cut off the rot and potted it in soil. A new leaf had started growing in but now it's all brown and not unfurling. the rest of the plant looks healthy including where it's growing from. I'm about to go on operation root save.
