Yikessss… So I got this Monstera Albo cutting a while ago and it took forever to root, but almost immediately after rooting it started to shoot out a new baby leaf. While this normally would be great, I noticed that the leaf wasn’t shooting out of the ONE section on the stem with WAAAYYY too much white so now the leaf looks like this, with about 95% white and 5% green. 😭 I’m hoping that the next leaf will have more green on it because that side of the stem has green stripes, but does anyone know how to keep this leaf alive long enough to get the next one here? Should I increase light? Decrease light? Change humidity? I’ll do anything! Thank you!

    Also, I have had a plastic bag around the top to increase humidity, but I’m not sure if I should put that back or not

    Unfortunately that looks like a highly varigated cutting. Not that it can't green up, but its hard to get past the initial high white. I'd definitely recommend supplement with Silica in every watering. It helps fortify varigation, especially high varogation, so they last longer.

      Is there anything else that I should do to try and keep that leaf alive until a new one grows? Also, if this section does die off, is there anything else that chance of a new shoot growing from the original cutting? I know that some plants can have several shoots from one node, but I’ve also heard that monsteras only get one chance.

      If you had a bag on it, id leave it. And just slowly remove it.. like take it off at night/on during the day. Then increase the time off. And make sure the leaf isn't touching the bag ideally. If you lose the leaf, its likely another will grow, so don't give up on it if it drops it before another grows
