# I got this huge monstera top cutting with three areal roots still…

_Posted by Abi’s Plants on 2024-12-13_

I got this huge monstera top cutting with three areal roots still attached. I’m thinking of putting it directly in a chunky soil mix to root.  
I’ve done water propagation with monsteras before but always have failed after transferring it to soil. I want the best chances. Any suggestions?

You can definitely just pop them in soil. Water it well
