I just started propagating this monstera cutting on Saturday. after reading a bunch I went with rooting hormone and soil propagation(after 24hr to callus).

But now I’m second guessing myself. Should I have gone water propagation? I used a mix of soil and peat moss but it feel too damp. This is my first M. Delicious so I’m nervous it won’t take.

Is it too late to rinse it off and water propagate? Or do I need to just chill and trust the process?

honestly i always water propagate but thats just me  
my monstera took 2.5 months to root no joke and that was in water  
so it really depends but u can change any time u like
