About a year ago, in a keikei paste accident gone tragically wrong, I accidentally rotted the base node on my monstera albo and ruined the plant. I chopped to prop as soon as I realized, but the nodes were so closely spaced together that I was only able to save the topmost node, and even then I had to cut it down pretty close—that being said, I am certain that there is node there and it's not a zombie leaf! It took a few months to root in perlite, but once it did the roots really thrived. I potted it into an aroid soil last month and the roots have continued to thrive...but there is absolutely no activity on the node. (I did VERY CAREFULLY score it and rub in some keikei paste last week, and made sure to clean off any excess right away to prevent what happened last time.) With all that background info in place: the existing leaf on the cutting has been slowly yellowing from pretty much the moment I chopped it, and at this point it is almost fully yellow and going translucent in spots. Do I just keep letting it yellow? Do I chop the leaf off and cover the node with a humidity dome? It's never had a lot of variegation, but it was the first plant I ever grew from a sprouted node, so it has sentimental value and I don't want to give up on it, but I don't know what I should do at this point to help encourage growth. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
