Wish me luck! Just potted up wet stick propagation monstera albo. Mix of about 10% potting mix, 20% orchid mix, 30% perlite and 30% peat.

It’s so short! I thought it was a pothos at first! Good luck this is my favorite plant. It’s so strikingly beautiful 🥳

It is isn’t it 🤩 and haha yes definitely looks like a pothos at this stage. was lucky enough to get two mid cuts of this back in September. One cut died and both lost their leaves so really grateful this has started to grow

Just wondering why you left the steam out?

#### David replied on 2025-01-11

Hi! I did it to help avoid stem rot and just let the roots be the thing in the soil. Just being extra cautious because it can be a bit more of a sensitive and costly plant lol

### Vetti commented on 2025-01-11

Realize that but if you use rooting hormone it should root from the stem also and will help you keep the plant upright just saying

Also in the first pic seem like it had moss where it was growing probably when you got it and it might been callused (part of the growing roots )and ready to root
