The chop can be scary but chopping your plants promotes new growth! Air layering is a method of propagating stems still attached to the mother plant. A cutting of this size could take a longer time to root or you may find you’ll lose leaves while the cutting is trying to grow new roots. It’s been 4 weeks since the last update. Here’s what I used: A plastic bag with sphagnum moss and mixed perlite. Made a cut in the bag and wrapped it around the nodes (I chose to not score the nodes, you totally can). Left a small hole in the bag to be able to water the moss. Lastly, patience! I planned for this and decided to start air layering before the monstera was too big and hit the ceiling. If you found this helpful, consider following along for more planty tips and leave any questions down below!

Krystal, you are so talented. After your post the other day about plants helping with grief, it is all the more apparent how much love and care you are pouring into this hobby. And just look at all that new growth! I've been trying (and failing) to air prop a plant of mine, so this video is especially timely. That monstera is gorgeous!

One day. One day my Monstrette (monstera-ette obvs) will give me "too big" problems. Right now I'm babying it because it got sunburned and lost a LOT of foliage. Poor baby. Yours is just LOVELY! I'm going to keep Monstrette with her orchid sisters in my office, so no more well-meaning roommate incidents! 💚

You can grow the plant sideways, people are often brain locked into thinking a plant can only be grown one way. Vertical. Nah you can grow it upside down sideways whatever way you want have it take up that wall space you got add some ferns and orchids in front of the whole scene and it’s like a mini jungle in your own home be a living art piece.
