How do you transfer propagated Monstera to soil?

Propagating Monstera deliciosa in soil is an easy process. Simply take a cutting from a healthy Monstera that includes at least one node and plant it directly into well-draining potting soil. Rooting Monstera cuttings in soil instead of water saves the step of moving the rooted cutting into soil later.

When should I plant my Monstera propagation?

The best time to propagate a monstera plant is in the spring and summer months when it's actively growing. You will know when your monstera plant is ready for propagation when the gnarly roots start growing outside the pot from the stems.

How do you transplant Monstera cuttings from water to soil?

You can move your Monstera cutting from water to soil after a couple months when several roots have grown that are at least 6 inches long. Find a pot that's a couple inches wider than the cluster of roots. Fill the bottom of the pot with a little soil, and then gently place the rooted cutting in.

Can I plant a Monstera cutting straight away?

Monstera deliciosa can only be propagated when the cutting includes a node. Propagated nodes can take up to 2 to 3 months before forming new leaves.

How long should roots be before planting?

Rooting will generally occur in 3-4 weeks but some plants will take longer. When the roots are 1-2 inches long or longer the cutting is ready to be potted up.

What happens after you propagate Monstera?

New shoots form and grow from the end of each newest leaf. Once the new leaf grows out, the vine develops a node. In lots, but not all instances, these nodes eventually grow into aerial roots, which is what the plant uses to attach to and climb vertical surfaces.

What to do with aerial roots when propagating Monstera?

If lots of aerial roots are appearing, it might be helpful to affix your Monstera deliciosa to a moss pole (also called a plant totem). This will give the roots a place to attach to. These are climbing plants, after all, and they'll grow better this way.
