# I found a Monstera near the trash that someone left. I decided to try…

_Posted by Jonah on 2025-10-26_

I found a Monstera near the trash that someone left. I decided to try and rescue it… I decided propagating seemed to be the best option due to the rest of the leaves being completely dead. Any recommendations?

Looks like it has a root growing already, just give it a month or so in there and change out the water weekly. Should recover just fine!
