Hi everyone! I hope you can open the photo and see the whole picture. I got this cutting from a friend. This friend has a few plants, so not a full blown plant addict. She said she looked up videos on YouTube on how to cut a monstera. Out of the 85 house plants I have, I do not have a monstera! I was really excited to trade to get this poster child of the plant world. But there’s no nodes… I’m not sure this plant will root. Any advice? Next steps? Thanks!
Sorry to say, but I don’t see a node on these at all, so I don’t think it’s possible for it to root. It’s essentially just like a cut flower and will die eventually :( the cutting needs to include either an aerial root or a node which looks like a bump on the stem

좋아요 1개Your friend is badly mistaken! There are no root nodes on these leaves.

For the mean time use it as a decor in a vase if available, use to its fullest potential 🥺
