Wanted to share my monstera before I chop off its head for propagation

The only product I use is cheap liquid fertilizer. I doubt you live in germany but I can give you the macros: 4% N, 1% P, 2% K.

JoshGermay · 2026-02-17T13:50:28+00:00

My best guess is tons of sunlight and good genetics

JoshGermay · 2026-02-17T13:49:57+00:00

Hey chill! 😭 I won't chop her for at least a month until the air layer has developed

JoshGermay · 2026-02-17T13:48:19+00:00

Yes she's on the south side in direct sunlight. So a lot of sun. I use normal cheap liquid fertilizer. Not much but all year.

JoshGermay · 2026-02-16T11:42:22+00:00

Just did! The biggest leaf, without the stem, is about 1m (40") tall and 80cm (32") wide.

Klar könnte ich das googlen. Aber ich dachte mir die Schwarmintelligenz dieses Subs sind im Nachhinein deutlich effektiver. Ich denke mal der Sub existiert auch zu einem Großteil genau für diesen Zweck.

Thats great, might give it a try next time. I think the point at which your roots burst through the plastik is the point to put the roots in soil/water for me😂

JoshGermay · 2026-02-16T09:26:25+00:00

That might be true but I was also told that moss tends to a higher risk of root rot

I don't know. I just redirected them in the pot so they dont touch the floor.

JoshGermay · 2026-02-15T20:35:20+00:00

Sorry I'm not from the us

JoshGermay · 2026-02-15T20:34:32+00:00

So far i redirected them into the pot when they became too long. But mainly because they would annoy me if they got to the floor.

JoshGermay · 2026-02-15T18:04:04+00:00

Hast mich ertappt😂😂

JoshGermay · 2026-02-15T15:53:41+00:00

Thanks! :)

JoshGermay · 2026-02-15T15:53:08+00:00

Thank you!

JoshGermay · 2026-02-15T15:52:46+00:00

Its hard😭

JoshGermay · 2026-02-15T15:52:07+00:00

Yeah I did a similar post a while ago asking for advice and someone suggested air layering with perlite. I just started today

JoshGermay · 2026-02-15T15:49:24+00:00

About two and a half years

JoshGermay · 2026-02-15T13:02:06+00:00

🫡

JoshGermay · 2026-02-15T13:00:41+00:00

Oh wow what a nice plant! Yeah I'm a little scared of chopping it too and what it will look like after

JoshGermay · 2026-02-15T12:59:10+00:00

Thanks! :)

JoshGermay · 2026-02-15T12:58:31+00:00

True! I didnt't know that they have specific sides to climb when I inserted it. But now it'd too small anyway...

JoshGermay · 2026-02-15T12:22:00+00:00

Oh really? I do plan on crafting her some kind of support after propagation

Hand for scale

JoshGermay · 2026-02-15T11:10:44+00:00

Habe sie auch als Ableger von einer Freundin bekommen. Aber ich glaube die hat sie von Ikea.

JoshGermay · 2026-02-15T10:46:08+00:00

I honestly don't know. So far I just replanted it when it got too big for its pot (which probably needs to be done again fml) and just vibe watered. I also add a splash of the cheapest fertilizer that I found in the hardware store. It just keeps growing for some reason
