Gifted this vari Monstera - concerned that the top leaf has already given birth and the stem above cut close. Will she stay phantom or does she have hope?

      It's possible to get good variegation from a low variegated node

    Oohh gotcha, it should branch off again. It can take a bit on a mid cut

      Thanks! Cut looks quite close to the “mother” leaf - I’ve had new leaves when I’ve cut my big monstera so I know where the newbie should appear - my first monstera cutting though!

    It is close. But since ot popped a leaf, that means the meristem wasn't damage. So should be fine
