A Monstera deliciosa grew to 20 m tall and covered the neighbor's wall. What method did he use?

Monstera deliciosa is truly a beloved green plant, not only easy to grow, but also able to purify the air and absorb formaldehyde. However, some flower lovers say it just grows slowly. Huahua doesn't think Monstera deliciosa grows slowly, if you don't believe it, read on, how exactly was that 20 m Monstera deliciosa grown!

In the yard of flower lover @LYWEY19963101 there is a giant Monstera deliciosa, planted in 1998, and now it has just reached the "advanced age" of 20 years~

Because next door to the flower lover is a tall building, the Monstera deliciosa just leans against the wall and keeps climbing upward, and every leaf is enormous. Everyone who has seen it has to "take a photo as a souvenir"!

The stems of the Monstera deliciosa have all become like climbing ivy, growing dense aerial roots, along with small buds that keep sprouting. It is said it can also bloom, and at most it once opened 62 flowers at one time!

The flowers of Monstera deliciosa look quite similar to those of the peace lily (Spathiphyllum), but they are much bigger, so it can be said to be very rare!

Monstera deliciosa not only thrives outdoors, it can also be grown indoors into a wall-climbing "turtle". 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 the Monstera deliciosa at home grow like crazy~

Grow Monstera deliciosa this way, and it will sprout a new leaf in a week

To grow Monstera deliciosa, you don't need to buy fertilizer. Any 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, supplementing nitrogen and phosphorus

Monstera deliciosa usually does not need frequent watering, but its leaves are large, and water evaporates from the leaf surface quickly, so it is best to frequently spray a little beer water (after the beer is left open to release gas, mix with water = 1:10), so the leaves can also "drink" nutrients.

The beer water left after spraying the leaves can also be poured directly into the soil. Flower lovers who find the beer smell too strong can add more water and dilute it, which 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. Once the water cools, filter out the banana peel and use the banana peel water to water the Monstera deliciosa. It has an unexpectedly good effect~

If you want a stronger effect, you can dry the banana peel in the sun, chop it up a bit, throw it into the flower pot, or cover it slightly with potting soil. After "eating" bananas, the stems of the Monstera deliciosa can become thicker than an arm~

3. Prune in time to stimulate growth

70% of flower lovers are reluctant to prune. Even though Monstera deliciosa grows slowly, if you cut off one leaf, it will soon grow a better leaf.

4. Divide the plant quickly, turn 1 pot into 4 pots

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

5. The tying method, guiding 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 below with rope. It is best to use thicker cotton rope, so it will not cut into the stems.

For a Monstera deliciosa that has grown too tall, it is best to find a stick to secure and tie it, so it can grow in an orderly way, and can even grow into 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 place it in a shady place to dry.

2、

After the cut surface has dried, bury the roots in a flower pot. Large stem sections can be left exposed outside. After burying, water thoroughly, then place it in a cool, ventilated place and wait for buds to appear.

3、

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

4、

After the buds appear, you can move it indoors to a place with better light. There is no need to water too much; keep spraying water to maintain moisture. Old stems sprout quickly and in great numbers, and in 1-2 months they grow into normal Monstera deliciosa~
