This cutting is from late April and I cannot get it to root! I’ve tried darker spots brighter spots, I change the water every 3-5 days and it’s doing nothing! It’s a rhaphidophora not a monstera. What am I doing wrong!! It’s not growing and it’s not dying…

I never change the water when propagating, I just top it off with fresh water when I see the levels get low. The water has nutrients and good stuff in it, so when you dump it out you’re getting rid of all that ! If not I would say after that keep it in spot with an indirect light and you should be good !
