# I’m gonna propagate my monstera for the very first time and I’m so…

I’m gonna propagate my monstera for the very first time and I’m so nervous. I do not want to kill Monte or harm him in any way. I’ve worked very hard to just keep him alive. Haha!!! Plantgirl has been helping me and I think I’m ready. I just want to make sure one last time. I’m gonna make the cut at the internode where the new leaf is starting. That internode…….

Make sure you let bottom of the cutting dry out for 24-48 hours before putting it in water to prevent rot. Also check often for rot
