As I'm learning more about propagations lets get into the specifics:
-root and stem rot are generally caused by a specific fungus or bacteria that has infected your plant.
-we need to focus on disinfecting our cutting tools in between cuttings, this will help prevent bacteria from spreading.
-good airflow and and a clean environment help prevent the spread of bacteria.
-pests that fly from plant to plant, like fungus gnats, help spread bacteria. Do what you can to reduce their numbers.
-fungicides that you sprinkle on the stem/aerial roots can help help some situations.

What does this mean for letting your plant callous? This may not have an actual effect if your plant is already infected with a bacteria/fungus that encourages soft rot. So focus less on the callousing and more on having clean tools.

I really like how are you explain and teach. I’m 67 and my new houseplants are like my kids now.
Thank you.

Your videos are the only videos my adhd can watch all the way through and I’m so grateful for that! Lol straight to the point 🙌🏻

[gracecar]

I don’t even have any plants, but your enthusiasm and matter of fact/pragmatic approach makes me feel like I could have a plant. One day.

Good closeup of the aerial root and where to cut . I like the idea of putting wax on the cut. Thanks for sharing. I've had a hard time finding a monstera and when I finally found one of Lowes it really was in terrible condition with broken leaves. Hoping to find some nodes today.

[patrickh]

Thanks! You are by far, the coolest plant mogul I've ever seen! Monsteras rule!

[laurab]

This is wonderful! Thank you so much! I bought a Monstera four years ago and never staked it properly, so it's growing wild and crazy now with a twisted vine. I've been thinking it's time to try and propagate it with cuttings to start over and make it more manageable, but I've been so scared to cut off any part of the plant. You gave me hope that I can make it work!

[kristinabliss]

Very helpful that you explained where to cut. Thanks. These are valuable plants once established. 😊

[CreaticityIsLife]

Thank you for all of your fantastic Monstera posts! I have an old, horribly overgrown Big M that I would love to rehab. After watching several of your videos, I know what I need to do. Thank you!!

[Tales_Of_Moto_Adventures]

Thank you, I'm just getting ready to propagate my 18 year old monstera. This video is the perfect info.

[Andulakes]

Thank you for this video! I have followed every single detail of your tutorial (my boyfriend was looking at me like I was crazy when he saw me dipping the stem in cinnamon and then candle wax haha) and only one week later I can already see small baby roots coming out of the main air root :) Im extremely excited!!!

[QueenZsWorld]

Following along with this now. Thanks so much for the video! will keep you posted 🌿

[libsta]

i am so so glad i found this video. i never knew that those roots were called arial roots, i thought they were just roots that hadn't been potted correctly!

[natesisk]
