Monstera beheading method

1. Time Selection

Monstera is very easy to grow, and it is also very easy to propagate it by cuttings after beheading. The best time to choose is spring every year, when the climate is very suitable, which has less impact on plants and is conducive to later growth and recovery. The rest of the seasons are not very suitable due to climate differences.

2. Prepare tools

When beheading it, it is best to use a sharp knife instead of scissors. This is mainly because the scissors will squeeze the wound during the cutting process, forming water stains that will not heal for a long time.

3. Beheading

During the growth process, some longer branches may appear. If they continue to grow, it will affect the appearance and consume more nutrients. You can cut this part off. After determining the position, cut quickly. The movements should be steady, accurate and fast, and the incision should be flat, without any bumps. After beheading, the wound should be treated and smeared with wood ash to prevent the juice from flowing out and also to disinfect and sterilize.

4. Take cuttings

Don't rush to throw away the cut branches, you can use them as cuttings to grow new plants.
