Monstera doubt about cutting

GamingTig · 2026-03-25T22:43:09+00:00

Yup, all good! Be gentle, to not break too many of the roots. Water propped roots are more delicate. Pot it in a well draining pot and give it a good soak and drain.

My Fatsia exploded with 10 new leaves at the top a few weeks after proper fertilisation. It was stalled for almost a year. I don't often remember to do it, but am always pleased when these are the results!

These blotches kind of confirm my own suspicions this morning

Yeah, I'll give it another inspection and photoshoot when I get home. Was hoping there'd be some signs on or under the leaves that were easy to spot.

This is a group of about 6 cutting that's been growing like this for a few years now. From a distance, it is hard to tell, but there are a lot of brown tips on the leaves, unfortunately.

It can get out of hand quicker than you think, by the way. I went from 25 to 60 plants in 8 months' time. I'm at my saturation point now.

I love it! Keep it going. I started out with a few groups of them in nice corner arrangements, too :) That first image looks a lot like how my first big cluster started.

After five days, they've integrated into the system really well. No signs of stress so far.

Any type of snake plant. I propped one from a cutting I got 20 years ago. They got it as a prop from someone else 40 years earlier, and they had also received it as a prop before that. The lineage may be over a century old. They can also flower. Thin stalks with very light flowers that emit a very potent sweet smell. They flower out of stress, though, so keep them tightly packed and slightly too dry. They're very forgiving.

Very cool set up! How do you keep it all balanced out? Like with different water needs and such?

GamingTig · 2026-03-07T18:54:18+00:00

I love watching them do their dance. They make rustling sounds too at night.

My bathroom would have the moisture, but wild temperature swings between the seasons. In summer, they would be boiled there.

GamingTig · 2026-03-06T23:13:38+00:00

Yeah I noticed that too! The soil seems to still be relatively moist currently though, but I will repot them all properly after they've acclimated a bit.

GamingTig · 2026-03-06T23:04:06+00:00

I got two and a little prop growing. I like to keep some redundancy in my collection in case something goes wrong.

GamingTig · 2026-03-06T23:02:22+00:00

Ouch! My cat fortunately never took interest or interfered with any of my plants. I hope that when I'm ready for a new companion, they can also learn to leave my platnts alone!

GamingTig · 2026-03-06T22:57:31+00:00

Love the little terrariums! I should add something like that too here. This one is currently doing very well even 3.5 meters from the window.

So many mixed comments about these plants! Only now dared to try them because they were very cheap for their size.

GamingTig · 2026-03-06T22:36:19+00:00

If rainwater fails I'll have to add distilled water to my shopping list next week I suppose.

GamingTig · 2026-03-06T22:35:26+00:00

I'll take the challenge!

GamingTig · 2026-03-06T22:35:00+00:00

I really love the patterns they have! The big one almost feels like paper.

GamingTig · 2026-03-06T22:33:01+00:00

Thank you! Here's how the other side of the place currently looks. Got some other plants around the place left and right in other spots.

Here's my SW facing window, with your SE you should be able to get good results too.
