First time water propogating my monstera. She put out lots of roots, but is it okay to bury that much stem when i transfer to soil? Will the stem rot if it’s buried up to that third node where the top root is?

You can bury it up to the third node if you want shouldn’t rot if your soil is chunky. Or bury it up to the second node with the aerial root buried in the soil. I would root a bit more. The better the roots the easier it’ll acclimate to soil after being in water.

More stem under the soil means more root nodes in the soil to generate roots. Bury it to cover all those new roots.
