So I just got a monstera stem that was cut the closest it could be cut to the node of the mother plant. What is the best way to help my monstera grow some roots?

Plop it in some water (make sure you let the water sit out for a while or use distilled) put it in a very sunny place, and then change out the water every few days

It will take a while but you gotta be patient!!!  
Happy planting!

What does that mean “cut the closest it could be to the node of a mother plant”. A picture with arrows would help
