Ahhhh!!! My largest, most beautiful Monstera Deliciosa leaf broke off this morning. My fault entirely. To be fair I bought this plant from Walmart and that leaf has hanging on by a thread. Most of the cut was already hardened over. Can I propagate the leaf? Would should I do about the stem that is left on the plant? I assume I should cut it off? I know the plant is a bit of a mess, I recently added a moss pole and I repotted it in chunky soil (it came in pure coco coir).
If it’s just the leaf you most likely will not be able to propagate it since it would need a node to grow, I suggest trimming the stem since nothing new will grow off of it, I would love to see the plant more fully to get a better idea of its condition but based on the info I have that’s what I suggest, sorry that happened leaves being damaged always upsets me too, don’t beat yourself up over it if it really was already damaged it would have happened sooner rather than later. ❤️

They all look pretty healthy, if you want them to grow more up instead of out I would suggest a grow light but either way the plant should be healthy!

I wouldn’t cut the stem all the way down. I had a stem like this a while back and I cut it down to that little lip where it looks like there might be new growth. Eventually a new leaf grew from the cut stem!
