      The plant in the pic is a regular monstera deliciosa. Mini monsteras are actually not monsteras at all, their scientific name is raphidophora tetrasperma.

    To answer your question, the cutting should produce a leaf from the top node of the bottom node is buried. You might get a leaf from the bottom node since the cutting is short. I wouldn’t even cut off the top roots to see if they can get water to the cutting even with only the tips of the top roots buried.

      You can try putting it on its side and partially bury the side with most roots.
