# Help! Last December 28 i decided to try my first monstera…

_Posted by Kimtrovert on 2024-01-21_

Help! Last December 28 i decided to try my first monstera propagation. I didn’t realize it would unfurl this beautiful leaf with more fenestrations, I’ve just been using water usually about 2 inches high with a few drops of fertilizers. I noticed the root has grown but now i’m worried it’s gotten some root rot, is it? or is it normal? or should i redo and cut it and start over? i cut a bit of the stalk again and dabbed a bit of rooting powder on it to avoid more contamination. Panicking right now. Also should i just use leca instead of just water?
