Taken a top cutting From my Monstera Albo to propagate in water. It was the first time I’d chopped any of my plants. Hopefully I’ve done it right 🤞🏻

It looks great! Did you let the would callous before you put it in water?

Left it for about 15 minutes. I’ve just placed into a vase with water from my tropical aquarium

It should be fine! Just check the wound for rot every week or so. You left yourself plenty of room if things go awry!

Ditto. I cut mine back last year and made three cuttings. All are huge already. Have fun with yours!
