Hey guys!

I’m currently propagating a monstera and I see there might be a leaf growing? Is it this really a leaf or a root? I’m curious.

I think that is a root growing up because that is how my monstera’s leafs look when they are growing. I think they are new leafs growing up that haven’t curled into full leafs yet.

You may wanna prop that up more, or lower the water, so just the roots are in water. Or the new leaves may rot pretty quickly
