She’s a goner isn’t she 😭  
I chopped my monstera for the first time and tried to propagate it to make it fuller. I let the cutting dry out for a couple days before putting it in sphagnum moss to root. What did I do wrong? 🥲

oh no better luck next time. primarily, i could be unclear but does not look like there’s a node for roots to grow anyway. but the wilting is likely from the water getting into the open cutting. it’s typically important to let the cutting callus to slow this from happening ☹️

I agree that I don’t see a node, so a new plant wouldn’t grow from this cutting. It’s a zombie leaf

I unfortunately didn’t take a picture of the fresh cutting but this part was the node

I cut below the node of the newest leaf, is that not correct?

#### Tee Jay님이 2024-04-25에 답변했습니다.

I don’t see it. The node would look like a line or bump on the stem. It’s not typically that high on the leaf

### Melanie님이 2024-04-25에 댓글을 남겼어요.

Unfortunately yes. There is no node to be able to water propagate.

### S.R님이 2024-04-25에 댓글을 남겼어요.

I think I see the node it’s just rotted and shrivelled.

I have much better luck propagating in water for about three weeks - makes it much easier if you include an Ariel root also as the roots quickly proliferate out from there! Maybe try propagating in water next time? It’s all learning 🙏🏼good luck!

Picture for context of two I’m currently working on 🤞🏾 🪴

Oh and change the water weekly as a minimum, I learned the hard way!
