Re: advice on a monsterous houseplant

From: goroff at idcnet.com (Iza & Carol Goroff) on 1998.12.16 at 19:07:01(2833) Monsteras are easily air layered. However, my suggestion is to place the rootball (with plant attached) in a bucket of water in the hope that the soil will eventually fall off of the roots and repot into a larger pot with a peat perlite based compost. Perhaps one of the commercial root stimulating products could be used, although that probably is not necessary. Iza Goroff +More Whitewater Wisconsin >The soil mix is grey concrete!
