Monstera deliciosa grew to 20 m tall and covered the neighbor's wall, how did he grow it?
Grow Monstera deliciosa this way, and it will sprout a new leaf a 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 will be glossy green, and it will also keep sprouting new leaves.
1. Beer fertilizer, supplements nitrogen and phosphorus
Monstera deliciosa doesn't need frequent watering normally, but its leaves are large, and the leaf surface evaporates a lot of water, so it's best to often spray some beer water (after the beer goes flat, mix with water = 1:10), this way the leaves can also "drink" nutrients.
After spraying the leaves, the beer water can also be poured directly into the soil, flower enthusiasts who find the beer smell too strong can add more water, diluting it will make it much better.
2. Banana peel, natural potassium fertilizer
Cut the leftover banana peel into small pieces and steep them in boiling water, wait for the water to cool, filter out the banana peel, and use the banana peel water to water the Monstera deliciosa, it has an unexpected effect~
If you want a stronger effect, you can dry the banana peel in the sun, chop it up a bit, throw it in the flower pot, or cover it slightly with potting soil, the Monstera deliciosa that has "eaten" bananas can have stems thicker than an arm~
3. Prune in time, stimulate growth
70% of flower enthusiasts can't bear to prune, don't look at Monstera deliciosa as growing slowly, if you cut off a leaf, it will quickly grow a better leaf.
4. Divide quickly, 1 pot becomes 4 pots
Sometimes on the surface the pot looks just right for the Monstera deliciosa, but actually it's already very crowded, which is why the growth is affected. Wait until September when the temperature drops to around 23°C, then you can divide it.
5. The tying method, guide growth
As Monstera deliciosa grows, it easily sprawls in all directions, which affects the growth speed and causes leggy growth, so you should tie it at the bottom with a rope, preferably a thicker cotton rope, so it won't strangle the flower stem.
For a Monstera deliciosa that has grown too tall, it's best to find a stick to secure and tie it, this way it can grow in an orderly manner, and can even grow into a screen~
Monstera deliciosa cuttings, 100% survival rate
1. Monstera deliciosa should be propagated from old roots, it's very easy to root, cut off a segment of old root, 8-10 cm in length, apply some carbendazim on the cut, or leave it in a cool place to dry.
2. After the cut surface dries, bury the root system in the flower pot, the large stem segments can be left exposed outside, after burying water thoroughly, then place it in a cool and ventilated place to wait for sprouts.
3. Spray water once every 3-4 days, maintain air humidity, which is good for sprouting. After about 1-2 weeks, green sprouts can emerge from the stem.
4. After sprouting, you can move it to a place indoors with better light, watering doesn't need to be too much, keep spraying water to maintain moisture. Old stems sprout quickly and in large numbers, in 1-2 months they grow into normal Monstera deliciosa~
