How to set up your Monstera for success

Getting your Monstera Deliciosa from a big box store is a great idea. However these plants are not always arranged in a way that will make its new growth come out the way you expect. You can take a top cutting of your plant, start over and arrange your cuttings to make the perfect plant.

I have absolutely no idea how YouTube knew I had a messy monstera, but I'm glad it recommended this video! This was very helpful. Thank you mate!

I personally prefer starting from a starter plant. It's true that it till take you several years to get to the "normal" size you see in the store, but it really feels like your own kid.
More importantly, you learn a lot about your plant through the process.

Now THIS was some useful plant content! Not “here are ten over-priced plants you’ll never afford, loser” or “here are two leaves on a wet stick that I bought on Etsy isn’t it I really appreciate that you scripted yourself and don’t have any verbal clutter. Well-done!

I have watched sooo many videos in monstera houseplants and this is the first time I’ve heard this. This is literally the most easily understandable and useful plant video I’ve ever watched thank you so much

I bought a plant like this at a nursery. Came home watered it down to remove all dirt and so that I could see the roots. Cut it into 2 plants. Planted them seperatly with bamboo pole. They are doing great!

I bought a tiny monstera for $8 at the grocery store! She was looking a bit floppy and unhealthy, and all I've done is put her in my nice window, and she is really thriving. Because she is small she doesn't need a pole yet and I turn her every so often. I've gotten one leaf since she's been here and another one is coming in. I'm really looking forward to when she is massive! What a great video!

Hm so my anxiety is growing...I'm like the textbook example of what's wrong with my Monstera - and I had no idea...

[MargueretteLorah]

I’m so glad your video popped up in my feed because I’ve been so frustrated with mine looking so wonky like a lopsided fan.
You explain this so well and I love the arrows too. This is exactly what I needed to see. Thank you for this!

[diediedice]

This is exactly what I was thinking about. My store bought monstera grew pretty well until I had to put her into a different spot and now she grows... well everywhere. I'll take notes and I'm doing this in the spring. Thank you for your videos! :)

Thank you so much! I had no idea they needed to be planted like that. Mine used to be giant, it was my moms and I inherited it after she passed. She had the plant before me! So I was devastated when I broke it and killed it. But my friend chopped it up and propagated a few starts for me. They haven’t been doing well and it turns out I planted them backwards with not enough light. Now they have a chance! Thank you so much

You are a monstera wizard! We bought a huge, overgrown monstera - I'm talking 7 moss poles in one pot - and your videos have helped us get it under control and it's so much more healthy and organized now. Down to 2 moss poles! Thank you for doing these videos!!

[TheBeerdBro]

Dude... seriously... thank you! You just helped make sense of this monstera. My wife had it when we got married, and I've been trying to figure it out. This helps SO MUCH! Instant subscribe!

[MrsRemi]

I was getting more unhappy with my monstera and now I know why. I watched sooo many videos on them and nobody explained this before!! Thank you!

[plantseveryinch]

Excellent advice I honestly don’t think I have seen anyone else tell people this but it’s so important to know with many climbers !

[mailrhian]

You are THE MOST informative but clear plant lover on here. Well done x

[vikkirountoit]

Got my 1st monstera yesterday. Kind of shocked about some plants having a front and a back. Never thought about it. Perfect timing to see this! After buying my first monstera yesterday from big box on clearance with some yellow lower leaves, I immediately unpotted and found it was 4 plants, removed the crappy soil, and I'm ready for the next step. On to watch some more of your videos:)

[cassieberg]

So excited to do this with my bosses giant office plant! We’ve had it in the office just growing along leggy and along the floor for two years and I’m finally propagating cuttings now to re plant and prop up right! Thank you so much!

[oopzeedaisy]

This is such a great video! Informative and detailed without being excessive, and never patronising. Thank you!

i bought 3 baby monsteras at the store a few months ago. (actually went back 3 days in a row and got one each time because they boosted my serotonin oops.) they’re growing so well and i’m so proud but i can’t help but wonder how big they’re gonna be soon 😂
