I made a stupid mistake please donāt judge me.. I was turning the lamp off and I knocked my lamp over and it fell on top of my monstera and broke/bent so many leaves. Please tell me what to do to help it recover pics attached.. Iām so heart broken (it fell right in the middle and damaged so much)
One of the leafs that have a line in a cup of water and it will grow roots š

Only the one with the stem that has nodes

Awhh my heart breaks for you :( Iād make the lamp apologize first lol! She will be okay. If possible, some of the stems that are maybe a little bent/broken still attached to the plant, you can maybe try taking a straw and cutting it down the middle (length wise), so you can open it up. Wrap it around the stem of the leaf to help keep it straight, like a cast - if it will fit. Try boba tea straws as well, theyāre thicker. Over time, it may heal itself! Make sure itās not cutting into the plant, and remember not to chop off more than 50% of the foliage at one time. Hope this helps! sorry this happened to you ā¤ļø

Two of the leaves have leaf nodes as shown. Root nodes are close to these leaf nodes. Put the two leaf stems in water and in bright light to grow out roots. Change the water when cloudy or about once a week. You can add rooting hormone liquid to the water. Fertilize when new roots appear. Plant when the roots are at least 2 inches. The mother plant will put out new leaves to replace the lost leaves. It takes time. šŖ“š
Thank you so much!! Youāre awesome!!
1 gilla Did it work?
1 gillaSo I saved what I could of the broken leaves and placed it in water with root stimulating liquidā¦ some of them were broken in so many places that it couldnāt be saved. no roots yet but Iām patiently waiting!! I also saved a few of the stems that had nodes but the leaf broke offā¦ hopefully that is able to root as well. Also, I just adjusted the stake on the original plant and hoping it recovers well Iām not home but I took a pic this morning, the monstera cuttings are in the glass jar (next to the bird of paradise) Iāll take a better picture when I get home and upload a pic of the original monstera as well.
By the way roots donāt like light. Sophie moved the plant away from the window. Itāll help a lot.
1 gillaI moved it!! Thanks
