To grow Monstera well, you should pay attention to using aerial roots

Specific methods of using the aerial roots of Monstera

Use a large cup, canning jar or other suitable container, fill it with clean tap water, well water, river water or mineral water, etc., place it in a suitable location, and insert the trimmed aerial roots into the bottle.

In this way, the roots of Monstera absorb nutrients and water from the potting soil on the one hand, and absorb water through aerial roots on the other hand, so the water supply is more sufficient.

After using this method, the aerial roots and aquatic roots of Monstera deliciosa work at the same time, which can absorb nutrients well and play a promoting role. After a period of time, the stems of Monstera become noticeably thicker, the leaves become larger, and the growth becomes stronger.

Precautions for using Monstera aerial roots

The water that nourishes qi and promotes rooting should be clear and transparent.

After a period of time, if the water is found to be slightly turbid, new water should be replaced in time.

When changing the water, be sure to clean the container again and remove any adhesions on the container wall.

When conditions permit, add a small amount of beer, soda, sugar, fertilizer granules such as urea nitrate, diammonium nitrate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, potassium nitrate, etc., or other substances that are nutritious and do not pollute the water to the aerial root culture water of Monstera. This will enable the aerial roots to achieve greater benefits.

Aerial roots grown in water reproduce relatively quickly, so they should be pruned and trimmed in time when changing the water.
