6. Monstera dubia cutting
In the cutting process the monstera dubia is as like to the money plant. it can be cut in peaces
with the buds or with the lives . All is how to cut and place it into the pot with the water and
proper light. monstera dubia plants are very rare houseplants. The people don’t know about its
cutting
How we cut monstera dubia plants ?
Make sure that you are keeping your monstera dubia slightly root-bound. Monsteras will not
grow if they are put into a pot that is clearly too big for them so the pots must be according to the
stemp size. Make sure that lots of the roots can touch the bottom of the pot at the same time as
the plant stays above the medium.
Stay clear of root rot. Monsteras (especially Thai Constellation) are prone to root rot. You can
keep clear of it by snipping away any dark, mushy and smelly roots, and by checking your roots
often, especially if you think that something is wrong with your plant.
What will be its size monstera dubia ?
The breeding of monsteras Dubai unbelievably very easy . All you need to do is cut under a node
and place it into water. The example is
7. I recently rooted a four leaf cutting. I laid the cutting on damp spag moss in a Tupperware that I
opened daily to check circulate air. The root node made good contact with the mods and had
roots growing in about a week and a half.
Just make sure your leaves aren't touching the water, but the node must touch it . its growth will
be amazing in water.
Another example is.
Root it just like any of its larger monstera dubai plants , sphag it and bag it under bright enough
light. I find they are perfect growers, If the stamp is without leaves just be patient and it will put
out leaves in few days.
How it is transported after the cutting?
If the cutting is with out the bud?
How it survive after if it is mistakenly broken by some of my pets?
One example that one person teared the plant into small cuttings and he observed that the plant
had grown leggy and long. The leaves are small too. This was due to its having no support and
nothing to climb onto.
If you are propagating a multicolored monstera, then I would suggest that you get the experience
required with plants before you do so.
