Where exactly is the node? (Centre stem) I’m trying to propagate my monstera for the first time and I don’t know where exactly I should be cutting it

Here ya go. There’s two on the center stem. They’re those bumpy lines where leaves come out. Hope this helps! 😊

So if you just want one cutting, cut between my red circles. If you want two, cut between the circles and under the bottom one. Just make sure there’s still a node down in the soil attached to the roots. There should be!
