So, hi friends. I'm here to talk to you a little more today about how to properly prune your monstera as well as how to propagate it. And a little more about monstera anatomy since I know that it can be unclear because it is such an interesting, weird growing plant. So, this plant here, this is my variegated monstera. I have it right next to my phalanopsis, which is kind of shaded by the leaves that the phalanopsis doesn't get the full sun. But as you could see here, most of the monstera is actually variegated, but you'll see that some of the monstera actually coming out of this little off-shoot right here, it's coming off in the main branch, is actually reverted back to being just plain old green. So, if you have a variegated plant and you have this, it's called a reversion. Reversions you want to cut off. So, I'm going to cut this reversion off down here. Now, here's why. So, part of the anatomy is the leaf. The leaf is, for the most part, the major photosynthetic organ of the plant. So, the leaf, you know, leaves are developed once during the plant's lifetime, and then if any damage occurs to the leaf after that, the damage is permanent. Although, for the most part, damage on leaves doesn't really affect the plant unless you're like taking the leaves off or something like that. So, for something like this, where I cut the leaves off, or there's tears, or scrapes, or anything like that, that's one-time damage that doesn't hurt the plant. It's sort of like a scar. Then we have this, which is the most misunderstood piece of plant anatomy by newbies. This is actually the leaf stalk, or botanically known as the petiole. The petiole is a part of the leaf, and just like the leaf only develops once in the plant's lifetime. And because of that, if you trim the leaf off here, you're just going to have a live petiole just kind of like hanging out there, not really doing anything other than making your plant look ugly. There's no maristomatic tissue in the petiole, which means that there's no tissue that could turn into more leaves, or stems, or stalks, or anything like that. The secret sauce, or the good part of the plant that I want to point out, is the stem of the plant. The stem of the monstera is this actual, viny thing right here, where you could see nodes along the stem. Now, a node is where a leaf comes out. So, here you'll notice that's this big green leaf right here. Contrace it back. So, a node is where a leaf comes out. A node is where leaves can come out. Roots can come out, or flowers can come out. So, a node is really good. And when you propagate a monstera, you want a node. It looks like this one's having a root kind of pop out on that too. So, that's a good sign. Down here, roots, or nodes can also be distinguished by not just the leaf scars, as you could see here, but also there's a root coming out here. So, in order to get rid of this, I want no nodes in between this and where it's coming out of the plant. So, I'm going to cut this as close to the main stalk as possible. And then I would take this out and I would replant this. But that's how I would prepare propagator monstera. And, oh, one last note, these aerial roots, they're fine as they are. You don't have to trim them, but what you do want to do is if you can, like I've done over here, train them back into the soil. If you can't don't worry about it, it's okay. Some of them are meant to kind of flop around. Like this one just kind of is meant to flop around. Don't cut them, don't do anything to them because they do serve a purpose for the plant. But if you can get them and train them to go into the soil, you will increase the health and speed it which your plant grows. So, that's all I have about monstera's. And you could see with this beautiful monstera that things are going pretty well. So, goodbye for now.
