PANG NAM FUI 
I wasted weeks trying to root a leaf and watched it rot, but I learned from my mistake. In my experience, propagating peace lily requires root division. Here is exactly how I multiply my collection now without losing a single leaf.
I learned the hard way that heavy garden dirt suffocates roots and kills plants. Discover the secret to a thriving jungle with my simple DIY recipe that mimics a rainforest floor.

Caring for a Monstera deliciosa comes down to four things I get right every week: light bright enough to cast a soft shadow, a chunky mix that drains fast, water judged by depth, and a pole to climb. The rest of this page is detail.
Every yellow leaf I have chased on a Monstera deliciosa turned out to be a root-zone story rather than a feeding one. I push a skewer two or three inches down, read what it brings up, change a single thing, and let the next leaf tell me whether it worked.
The first Monstera deliciosa I lost to root rot looked healthy above the mix right up to the day it collapsed. Since then I bare the root mass, work along every strand with my fingertips, and let what has gone soft decide where the blade goes and how small the next container must be.
I stopped watering my Monstera deliciosa on a schedule after two plants crisped at the margins while the mix sat bone dry. Now I check the top inch or two with a finger, water until it runs from the drainage hole, and tip the saucer out. That one habit ended the guesswork.
I sprayed blind for a season before I learned to name the pest on my Monstera deliciosa first. Silvery scrapes, fine stippling, cottony clusters and dark specks each point somewhere different, and the hand-removal pass does more than any bottle I have tried.
My first Monstera deliciosa cuttings failed because I took stem without a node. Now I pick a piece with one raised band, cut square half an inch below it, let the face dry to the touch, and stand it in water that I change weekly until roots show.
My Monstera deliciosa grew sideways for two years before I gave it something to climb. Now I sink the shaft first, ballast the base with grit, tie only the thick stems, and hold every aerial root onto damp moss until the plant carries itself upright.
