# all right team, my newest leaf on my Monstera just popped out some…

_Posted by Karson on 2026-07-09_

all right team, my newest leaf on my Monstera just popped out some varigation, which is so extremely fun! However, it is also now touching the ceiling.… It’s growing on a moss pool with two stems, but one is shorter than the other. I’m gonna chop and prop it at some point but want to get at least three mature Monstera’s out of chopping it. I also really want to encourage the varigation growth! Anyone have any recommendations?

It’s beautiful! To support variegation I think it needs more light to support the whiter parts of the leaves.

For chop and prop I would cut it at the lowest shelf of the top kitchen cabinets. Then cut in between the nodes to make more. The fullness of the main plant I would keep as is instead of making 3 equal sized pieces.

Wow your deliciosa is so shiny and dark green 😍 I would take a single node cutting from the variegated leave stem and give it bright light to encourage varigation
