Hello!!

I’m new to propagating. This leaf is droopy and has a little bit of sun damage. I was wanting to propagate it to see if it could grow stronger individually and help the plant itself grow strong stronger. Where would be a good place to cut it normally I would cut underneath any aerial roots, but this branch doesn’t have any.

Thank you in advance🫶🏽

From this angle that looks like that might be the first node on your monstera so that leaf should actually be dying off first which may be why it’s drooping. You could chop the node but you might want to air layer it before then to get some roots developing for the top half of the plant. If you did decide to cut/propagate where you outlined, the top half of the plant might need a larger, more developed root system to survive the chop. There’s some great youtube videos on Monstera node propagation!
