Hello my friends, welcome back to Anna’s Violets
or if your for the first time on my channel,
please subscribe and click on the bell button
to be notified of all the videos about plants
and gardening that I post every week, stay with me
today because we’re going to pot up this wonderful
monstera deliciosa from this tiny pot into this
huge pot and I’m going to tell you all the secrets
about these gorgeous and trendy plants, well here
it is, this wonderful monstera, actually I have
two plants here and I’m going to repot it, well
from this tiny part into this huge pot and of
course the bigger the pot is the sooner your plant
will grow into a huge tree but of course you need
to make the pot bigger step by step not just like
me because this is very tiny and this seems to be
quite huge honestly and maybe this is not the
right size for now, but it’s actually the pot
that I found and I really like it and I will just
maybe be a little bit careful with the watering,
but other than that, well you when you repot
your monsteras, do it gradually, not like me,
but I’m just going to tell you a little bit about
care and some secret about these plants now, well,
as you can see I have here different leaves,
right, for example, they don’t have any holes,
these are a little bit split and here you can
see some split parts, but also already one
hole on the leaf and actually sometimes you can
really buy their small cuttings, and you think,
but is it monstera? because the leaf is not split
it, doesn’t have a hole, but the thing is that to
have split leaves and also to have holes, the
plant needs to be, you know, maybe a couple of
years old to be able to have this and then you can
see that this plant is actually not a huge one and
it just got its first hole in the leaves, so you
need to be a little bit patient, but definitely
with the growth your plant will also have split
leaves and also will have holes in the leaves,
now let’s speak a little bit about care, well the
pot, of course, it’s very good, when your pot has
holes actually it’s a must and then the soil
should be well-drained soil, that’s why right
now I have a universal soil mixed together with
perlite and then the light should be really
bright light, sometimes maybe just a little bit
of sun, depending on your climate your plant may
tolerate sun, but it’s better not to have it under
the sun, not to grow your monsteras under the sun
because they can really easily be burnt and yeah
you know it’s not really good, as for watering,
you need to water them really thoroughly and
what they do like, of course, humidity, your
air should be really humid and in this kind of an
environment monsteras can grow into huge plants,
well of course they will not bloom at home because
for that they need a special humidity, special
percent of humidity of air to be able to bloom and
that’s what they usually bloom in the nature, not
in our homes, but it’s still a very trendy plant,
because you can see them everywhere, in hotels,
restaurants, people are buying even the variegated
plant like variegated monstera, it’s like I don’t
know, the prices are really ridiculous, but
maybe it’s worth it, I want to show you this
aerial root and here we can see that this one is
also an aerial root that has grown into the soil,
well with the age, your plant will have lots of
aerial roots and this is just starting to grow,
it will be much longer and hanging, you can see
that the roots are even growing from here, so
that’s the right time to repot it, but the thing
now is about aerial roots, sometimes people say,
I don’t like it and I cut it, but you know well
your plant will not die, if you cut the aerial
roots, but they are actually needed for the
plant, they take the humidity from the air and
they actually take also the oxygen from the air,
so if they’re, like you know, really annoying you,
well then maybe you can cut it, maybe shorten
them or maybe just cut, I don’t know 10,
20 percent of the roots but not all of them, you
can even kind of wrap the roots around the pot,
if they are really, you know, getting on your
nerves, but other than that, I think that it’s
even more beautiful if these aerial roots are
hanging from the pot and for this kind of plants
of course it’s a very good idea to have a bigger
pot and heavier pot because this plants are so
heavy and because of their weight, they can just,
you know, fall, so now you can see that this plant
in this pot is so unstable, see how it’s moving,
so that’s why I’m going to use also this support
and having the aerial roots my plant will be
able to stick to cling to the support and grow
into nice tree, so it will grow vertically into
a very huge and wonderful plant to be able to
decorate one corner in my place, well let’s get
started, let’s take this plant out of this pot,
which is really easy, you just squeeze the pot
and pull your plant a little bit and it comes out,
of course lots of roots, I mean this was
obvious, they grow really fast, I will just
remove the top layer and here actually I have two
plants, I would like to separate them honestly,
as you can see I have two plants here and I’m
going to plant them together in this pot but
just separately, just like this, and in between I
will have a support, so that they will grow from
both sides and this one will get just bigger,
oops, just as this one, in a very short period
of time you can see that their healthy roots are
already growing wonderfully and as in this pot the
roots are growing really in the circles, 7SKU Wholesale you can
just a little bit massage the roots, so to say,
to split them so that they grow you know, not in
the circles but in this bigger pot they will kind
of spread and you will not damage the roots, don’t
be afraid because this one also grows so easily,
all right, yeah so just like this, it will
be just perfect, well first of all let’s
maybe put this support in the soil and make
it really stable, it is even a place here,
where you can kind of have another one and make
it longer ,when the plant is actually big enough,
perfect and now let’s see how we do it, so I’m
going to plant this one here just like this,
how cool is that, right, yeah, so
this one will grow just like this,
I will just need to arrange the roots in a better
way, here I need to remove a little bit of soil
and the other plant, I’m going to plant from
the other side, just here this one is a little
bit small, like smaller than the other one, but
that’s absolutely fine because very soon it will
grow into a big huge plant, I will be posting of
course pictures as usual on my Instagram and on
my Facebook page, so you can follow me there
as well, I would love to see your pictures
cool, just like this and I’m just filling up the
pot with soil, this plant actually likes really
humid air, you can spray them from time to time,
whenever you remember, the new leaves by the way,
when they are growing, they may seem a little bit
yellow or very, very light green, don’t worry,
as when they grow, they will turn into very
nice and dark healthy green color, how perfect,
by the way this plant, when they bloom, they
also have fruits, which are edible, but the
thing is that the leaves the plant itself can be a
little bit toxic for the pets and kids of course,
so just be careful there, but the fruits are
edible, that’s really interesting, so I planted,
I will just use something to you know keep this
plant here and help the plant grow straight,
when it grows every roots I will keep the
support moist always and the aerial roots will
go into this support and will just you know grow
straight by themselves without any other help,
look at this beauty, I would really like
to know about your experience, in what kind
of climate you are growing them, what’s your
experience with them in terms of sun and light
and of course watering, and just tell me after
how many years you had this one or two holes,
which make this like so much interesting and if
