The correct way to propagate Monstera deliciosa: turn one pot into many pots with ease

Introduction

We can start by collecting some seeds from a mature Monstera deliciosa and then sow them, about 2 to 3 cm apart with one seed per hole, and after about a month we will find that the Monstera deliciosa seeds have sprouted. There is also the option of selecting a side shoot, keeping only the small leaf on top, and then inserting it into the soil as a cutting; after about 30 days, the Monstera deliciosa will produce roots. There is also the division method: take off an entire side branch of the Monstera deliciosa, then replant it in a flower pot, and it will succeed in this way.

Sowing method

So for the sowing propagation method, first we must certainly collect the seeds of Monstera deliciosa. Generally, we need to collect the seeds after the Monstera deliciosa blooms in summer. Before the seeds mature, we must be sure to manage the Monstera deliciosa diligently and water it more often, so as to ensure the health of the seeds. Once the seeds mature, we can collect them and soak them in warm water for ten hours; doing so can increase the germination rate of the seeds. You can also directly disinfect them with a disinfectant, and either way you can propagate Monstera deliciosa seedlings very well.

Cutting propagation

This propagation method is best carried out in autumn or spring. First we need to choose a side shoot of the Monstera deliciosa; generally we should choose a relatively robust side shoot as the cutting material, preferably one that has grown to 20-25 cm, and remove the leaves from the basal part of the entire branch, keeping only one small leaf on top. It is best to mix leaf mold and peat together, then insert the cutting into the soil. If the temperature is suitable, new roots will grow in about 30 days.

Division propagation

This division propagation method must be carried out in summer or autumn so that the survival rate can be higher. It is also very convenient to do, and beginners can easily handle it. We can carry out division when repotting; this operation can make the Monstera deliciosa very robust and healthy. When dividing the side shoots for propagation, we must be sure to include a portion of the aerial roots, so that the propagation and growth of the Monstera deliciosa can be fully ensured. We can simply plant it directly in the soil.

Conclusion

So if you have learned the several propagation methods described above, the Monstera deliciosa you grow will go from one pot to many pots; this is not imagination at all. Therefore, if you follow the propagation methods described above, you will certainly be able to propagate large and healthy Monstera deliciosa. Finally, we also wish you one pot turning into many pots.
