A piece of this Mini Monstera broke off at my work and I took it home in the hopes I could keep it growing. Any care advice for helping it thrive? Right now I just have it in some water under some grow lights.

I'd recommend cutting off just the end of the stem. Put it right back in the water after that. If you were to leave it for a while it would scab over which is NOT good :)
