Illustration of the propagation method of Monstera

1. Planting

Wait until the seeds of Monstera are mature and then take them out. Before sowing, place them in warm water to germinate. The water temperature should be 40°C, and they should be placed in water for about 10 hours. Prepare the sowing substrate during the germination period, preferably after high-temperature sterilization. Because its seeds are relatively large, use the spot sowing method, sow the seeds and cover them with a layer of film, and they will germinate in about 3 weeks.

2. Cutting

It is best to do it in spring or autumn, and choose cuttings from plants that are growing well, and the length should be around 20-25cm. After cutting, cut off the leaves at the base and just keep the leaves at the top. The long aerial roots on the cuttings should also be cut off. Insert the treated branches into the substrate, maintain a growth environment of 25℃ and sufficiently high humidity, and take one month to take root.

3. Division

Cut off the side branches around the mother plant, preferably in summer or autumn, with aerial roots on them, and plant them directly in a wooden barrel. This method is not only simple to operate, but also easy to survive.
