# Bit if a difficult one but if anyone is mega experienced with…

_Publié par Gaia 🌍 le 2024-05-03_

Bit if a difficult one but if anyone is mega experienced with neglected monstera, PLEASE let me know. I left this monstera at my mom’s house nearly two years ago and all that was done with it is watered and left to its own devices. I don’t really want to have to propagate if I can help it as I’m not experienced in this matter and I don’t want to kill it after it’s tried to fight for life 😭 over the last few years. It looks like I’ll probably have to and separate it in to three plants if I do. How would I go about this? I want to save it because it was my baby that I sadly left behind. ANY help at all will be appreciated.

Definitely chop and prop if you can 👀

I have done one soil propped with some root and two in water now 😊

Chop and prop girlie

#### Gaia 🌍 ha respondido el 2024-05-03

Yep there was no saving it. Two propped in water and the other in substrate 🤞

#### Kat ha respondido el 2024-05-03

I hate that for you but now you got two babies! 🙌🏼

#### Gaia 🌍 ha respondido el 2024-05-03

I’m so glad you didn’t cut the browning leaf off! The plant can take nutrients from that leaf and put it towards growing roots!

#### Gaia 🌍 ha respondido el 2024-05-03

Yess, someone very helpful told me that it’s fine to leave it in another group on here. I’m not one for aesthetic. I just want it to recover from this as best as it can. The roots were in a really sorry state. I’m surprised anyone can kill a monstera off after this survived my families major overwatering. I was shocked 😅

Plants are more resilient than people give them credit for! Gotta think monsteras are rainforest plants so they’re pretty adaptable
