# A friend of mine’s cutting out a piece of their monsters that’s…

_Posted by Plant lover on 2025-01-07_

A friend of mine’s cutting out a piece of their monsters that’s hanging out of the pot to propagate and give it to me. was wondering if anyone knew how long this might take? I’m new to monsteras so any tips would also be appreciated!  
Thanks in advance! :)

how long what will take? the cutting growing stems?

Propagating it  
sorry, forgot to make it more clear :)

in my experience, you’ll have a good bunch of roots after a couple months

If you chop and prop in water it should grow roots fairly quickly just make sure you’re cutting in the right spots 😇
