# I got this beautiful monstera leaf from my local buy nothing group…

_Posted by EmJabs on 2024-06-19_

I got this beautiful monstera leaf from my local buy nothing group but not sure if it’s propagatable (not a word) - I’m not familiar with leaves this big…is there a node on this? Am I able to do it? Appreciate any advice.

I’ve seen someone grow roots but it won’t grow new leaves.

i think that is unfortunately not propagatable. that is just a leaf, and you would need a node as you mentioned. i think you would need something that looks more like this in order to prop :)

If you keep it in water it might survive long enough to be used for decoration 😅 sucks that it’s not propagable !

I mean, you could try it. I’ve seen things done that “weren’t possible”!
