You can save those!! Put the 2nd one in water and change the water every 3-4 days. The others, plant in soil and wait, and then you will see new growth.

I completely agree! Just remember to keep the soil moist a little longer to help everything grow well.

### plantgeek commented on 2026-06-05

agree, these are all perfectly healthy! however, let these cuttings dry out overnight. putting a cutting with an open wound in water almost guarantees rot, and putting one in soil is a little less risky, but still not worth it.

Super glue could be used as well to seal the cut end and help avoid root rot.

#### Yup replied on 2026-06-06

Yes but not on a monstera that size.
