So I sat my monstera out to let the water drain, and forgot about it for a few hours… 😬 It got incredibly sunburned, is there any hope for it? Any tips or tricks?

there’s no coming back for those leaves — the plant overall can recover but it will be ugly for a while

Should I chop and prop? Or just leave it be?

go with Sunny’s rec!

I would not cut up the plant to propagate. The plant and roots are good. Just cut off the all black leaves. They won’t help with photosynthesis anymore. The partially damaged leaves are still helpful to the plant. I recommend leaving the partially damaged leaves until the plant generates new leaves.
