Monstera albo.  
Had a nightmare with root rot so last resort was cutting everything off.

Have I done this right?

I know to change water every couple days but that’s about it.  
Also she’s under a grow light.

I think it looks good! Give it a few days to a couple weeks and you should have some roots!

Yes! You did it right! Now we wait 🤣💚

I just bought general hydroponics floranova grow 7-4-10 off amazon from some recommendations off a Reddit group. I’m super careful, so only 1/4 teaspoon of that stuff to 1 gallon of water, and I let my propagations sit in that mix for a week at a time and holy moly water roots! Good luck!
