I have a really healthy Monstera and need to propagate where should I cut it. Have two roots growing off it. Once I cut it, can it be water propagated?

You’ll want to cut it below the root that’s growing off the side. That brown knob. Yes you can put it in water to get the roots going. You’ll want to wait 24 hours after you cut it to put it in water. That’ll allow the wound where it was cut to seal.

I recommend looking for tutorials on monstera propagations on tik tok! There’s some super detailed tutorials on there with time stamps for different stages, which I’ve found very helpful
