A Monstera deliciosa grown for 20 years has covered the neighbor's wall

Monstera deliciosa (Swiss cheese plant) is truly a beloved green plant that everyone adores. Not only is it easy to grow, but it also purifies the air and absorbs formaldehyde. However, some flower lovers say it just grows slowly. Huahua doesn't think Monstera deliciosa grows slowly at all - if you don't believe it, keep reading to see how someone's 20-meter Monstera deliciosa was actually grown!

Flower lover @LYWEY19963101 has a giant Monstera deliciosa in their yard, planted in 1998, and it has just reached its 20-year "old age"~

Because next door to this flower lover is a tall building, the Monstera deliciosa just climbs up along the wall. Every leaf is enormous - anyone who sees it has to "take a photo to remember it"!

The stems of the Monstera deliciosa have become like climbing ivy, growing dense aerial roots and constantly sprouting new shoots. It's said it can even bloom - at its peak, it once produced 62 flowers at once!

The flowers of Monstera deliciosa look quite similar to those of the peace lily (Spathiphyllum), but they're much bigger - you could say they're rarely seen!

Monstera deliciosa doesn't just thrive outdoors - it can also become a wall-climbing "green turtle" indoors. The picture below was discovered by flower lover @ComeOverHere. After seeing it, Huahua is even more confident. Let's also use a few tricks to make our Monstera deliciosa at home grow like crazy~

Grow Monstera deliciosa this way and it'll sprout a new leaf every week

You don't need to buy fertilizer to grow Monstera deliciosa - just some random scraps from home can fatten it up. Wipe a little something on the leaves and they'll be glossy and green, and it'll even push out new leaves like crazy.

1. Beer fertilizer, supplements nitrogen and phosphorus

Monstera deliciosa doesn't need frequent watering normally, but its leaves are large and evaporate a lot of water from their surface, so it's best to frequently spray it with beer water (after the beer has gone flat, mix with water at 1:10). This way the leaves can also "drink" nutrients.

After spraying the leaves, the leftover beer water can also be poured directly into the soil. Flower lovers who find the beer smell too strong can add more water to dilute it, and it'll be much better.

2. Banana peel, natural potassium fertilizer

Cut leftover banana peels into small pieces and steep them in boiling water. Once the water cools, filter out the banana peels and use the banana peel water to water your Monstera deliciosa - it has unexpected results~

If you want an even stronger effect, you can dry the banana peels in the sun, chop them up a bit, and toss them into the flower pot, or cover them lightly with potting soil. A Monstera deliciosa that has "eaten" bananas can grow stems thicker than your arm~

3. Prune in time to stimulate growth

70% of flower lovers can't bear to prune. Don't be fooled by Monstera deliciosa's slow growth - if you cut off one leaf, it will quickly grow a better one.

4. Divide promptly, turn 1 pot into 4

Sometimes the pot looks just right for the Monstera deliciosa on the surface, but it's actually already very crowded, which is why growth is affected. Wait until September when the temperature drops to around 23°C, then you can divide it.

5. The tying method, guide its growth

As Monstera deliciosa grows, it tends to sprawl in all directions, which affects its growth rate and causes leggy growth. So use string to tie it up at the bottom - preferably thick cotton rope, so it won't cut into the stems.

For a Monstera deliciosa that has grown too tall, it's best to find a stick to secure and tie it, so it can grow in an orderly way and even become a screen~

Monstera deliciosa cuttings, 100% survival rate

1. Monstera deliciosa should be propagated from old roots, which root very easily. Cut off a section of old root, 8-10 cm long, apply some carbendazim to the cut, or leave it in a cool place to dry.

2. After the cut surface has dried, bury the roots in a flower pot. Large stem sections can be left exposed. After burying, water thoroughly, then place in a cool, ventilated spot and wait for sprouts.

3. Spray water once every 3-4 days to maintain air humidity, which helps sprouting. After about 1-2 weeks, green buds will emerge from the stems.

4. After buds appear, you can move it indoors to a spot with good light. Don't water too much - keep spraying to maintain moisture. Old stems sprout quickly and abundantly, and in 1-2 months they'll grow into normal Monstera deliciosa~
