It uses aerial roots to propagate, and the temperature is maintained at 18~25 degrees Celsius, and the time is selected from March to April in spring. Determine the aerial roots from the plant, then cut them close to the base, cut off 3-4 nodes of the aerial roots, and place them aside to dry. Prepare flower pots and soil. The soil must be breathable and well-drained. Bury the treated branches into the pot soil, water and moisturize appropriately, and move them to new pot soil after germination.

1. Time selection

1. Time selection

When using aerial roots for propagation, you must choose the right time. A good climate environment can facilitate rooting and facilitate later reproduction. If aerial root propagation is used, the surrounding temperature is best maintained between 18 and 25 degrees Celsius, so the best time is March to April in spring, as the survival rate will be higher. The climate in different regions is different, so the time can be adjusted slightly.

2. Cut off the aerial roots

Observe the growth status of the entire Monstera deliciosa plant, determine the location of the aerial roots, and then cut off 3-4 nodes of aerial roots from a position close to the base. Do not cut the cuttings immediately after cutting them, but place them in a ventilated place to dry first.

3. Preparing pot soil

There are not many requirements for choosing a flower pot. It does not need to be too big, as long as it has drainage holes at the bottom. The soil must be selected well, with good air permeability and drainage. Such soil quality is conducive to rooting, and it must be exposed to the sun and disinfected before use.

4. Rooting of cuttings

Bury the treated branches into the pot soil, water and moisturize appropriately, and maintain a suitable surrounding temperature. After a period of time, the aerial roots will sprout and take root, and they can be moved. Plant in a new pot of soil and provide appropriate light, water and fertilizer.
