I have been a professional gardener for the last (ahem, ahem, embarassed to say how many years). This, your channel, is the single most ARTICULATE, well-explained, and comprehensive source of information I have ever found for Monstera deliciosa plants -- but more importantly, you are a naturally entertaining dryly witty person. LOVE IT ! If you ever considered publishing a Monstera Book, I would say "go for it". Oh, and PS you have a great voice, do your own voiceover for the audiobook version.

Don't even have a plant but I stayed because the dude seemed chill asf.

gosh, it has been years since my Monstera Deliciosa had that large of leaves! Yours is a very happy plant!😁
Mine, about forty years ago, was in a pot two feet wide and about the same height. It is still in that ceramic pot. When I moved out of my apartment it was covering the whole ceiling of three quarters of the apartment (about three hundred square feet). Yet it was in the same pot. There were two windows and a sliding glass door illuminating the space. One window and the door were a south elevation. The other window was fixed glass and high up (Mid-century modern cathedral ceiling) on the east wall. So it had plenty of light. I used to leave the door open to the balcony and the bedroom window also so that the sea breeze would provide constant fresh air. The result was spectacular. It took Fred (after thirty years I named the plant) about two years to completely cover the ceiling. the leaves were just as large and luxurious as yours. the weird part were the air roots. I cut them off at around eight feet from the floor. When I moved out, all of that growth had to be cut off and stuffed in a dumpster. My erstwhile neighbors flocked around for cuttings.

Fred is still around and now is about fifty-five years old (I was ten when the garden department manager at the Santa Ana Newbury's gave me the cuttings which started my plant out). He is soldering along, but is much deteriorated from his days of glory. I hope to recover the plant in the next few years.

Monsteras being epiphytes, they can actually stay in smaller pots than people think. I'm thinking of the video by Summer Rayne Oaks where she tours the largest private research collection of Aroids at the Missouri Botanical Gardens and you can see a very old monstera that is over 2 stories high that is in a pot the size of the pot that this monstera was just potted out of.

Let them grow! Don't chop them unless they're too big/it's for aesthetic reasons.

You can trim the roots and keep the plant in a smallish pot while the plant itself is big and growing. In bonsai roots are trimmed all the time. A lot worth learning in bonsai techniques.

I had to laugh when you said about bigger and bigger pots. I live in a small house, and imagined my entire sitting room filled with a massive truck sized pot. Really helpful video, thanks 🙂

The fact that he is winded when he says, "see? super easy" lol I couldn't on my own like that.

I finally found the most niche successful channel on YouTube, all the more power to you for caring so deeply about these plants.

[MarisaAndChew]

I appreciate that you did this on your own. So many big monster repots everyone does it in a weird way, like on a table so they are working against gravity, and then they need at least one other person. As a single person who is fairly strong (move furniture etc myself) I would NEVER be able to repot a plant with someones help bc getting them over and willing to help would be too darn big a pain in the butt! Plus, it's messy work and people don't like getting messy unless they are the plant parent! So I really love that you showed how to maneuver it with your body weight and the assistance of gravity and using your legs etc. Sure it's a definite workout, but it's clearly completely possible so long as you can lift the plant in the pot to start!

Thanks to you a got the courage to repot and seperate my monstera (3 plants in 1 pot originally) and they are now thriving. I think I am becoming a better plant parent. Greetings from Poland.

Not too many people mention where to place the pole. I learnt that the hard way. Now I use a very tall diy moss pole. Instead of repotting, I leave enough space in the pot to top dress it. The roots take it over and love it. It rejuvenates the plant without having to repot It

[sadcap]

What an incredible plant, omg. The care you put in really shows!

[adventurecreations]

Not only are you plant knowledgeable but you are a very good presenter. Nice work! I'm subscribing.

[evans]

I'm just upset this video isn't 3 years old. I wanted to go down a rabbit hole of your monstera report videos. Also I'm happy to see another plant pop living on the city landscape with a balcony. Btw I added fake grass to my balcony and absolutely love it.

[JulesKM]

The "wrestling move technique" cracked me up! I've been doing that as well with my large plants. At some point it probably should become a two-person job, but for now, getting down on the floor and wrestling them out of their pots works pretty well!

[mhzplantingaroids]

When I repot a much smaller plant, already so much goes through my head. Can't imagine having to repot this size of a plant! You made it look easy. Great tips! Thank you 😁

[tamaraoosterwijk]

Really like your idea of using a birchbrench instead of regular boring pole!

[ericabuchanan]

I am so glad you posted this. I have been avoiding doing this for months. It’s time. I’m gonna do it. Maybe next week.

[gamechanger]

I have just watched this video & learnt so much more about my plant. Had to go back & watch past vids of yours & can't believe I actually knew nothing about my prized plant. You actually make so much sense by explaining in simplified terms but really educational. Thank you & I'll be sure to subscribe so I can keep my plant happy & healthy 😊

my monstera was touching the ceiling in a gallery type room with 4m high ceilings and was covered with multi-fenestrated giant leaves - and then I decided to move! and being a plant lover, I was determined to find a way to take her with me. I chopped her into many parts, guarded the mother plant/ stem very well for the transport and repotted all the chopped off parts together into one big pot with the mother plant (and one new pot), so I now have two much wider plants instead of one. for the first half year after moving she looked a little flat and only produced little new growth and reverted back to the simplest form of leaf (without any cutouts), but now she is back to her monstrous self.
