# After some tips for planting up my monstera cuttings. My original…

_Posted by ClaireN on 2024-07-18_

After some tips for planting up my monstera cuttings. My original plant gave up due to overwatering (I think) a couple of months ago. I managed to rescue these nodes and propagate in water but no clue what to do next….help appreciated!

Rule of thumb when propagating: roots should be about 2 inches before placing into soil. The longer the root the higher the success rate

I usually stick my rooted water-propagated cuttings in a small nursery pot with a very well aerated soil mix or coir and for a couple weeks water a little more often than you normally would. Then once the plants have a solid soil root system (water roots are white, soil roots are often darker) you can pot them up into whatever soil mix/pot you’d like them to grow in 🥰
