Monstera Plant Propagation Without Node. A Monstera leaf can stay fresh in water for a long time and may even grow roots but new stem and leaf growth can only come from a node. Can a Monstera cutting with just a leaf grow roots.
The petiole and leaf come from a node along the main stem of the plant. Monstera Propagation Via Stem Cuttings. When taking a cutting to propagate your Monstera you need to check for one important thing.
2 of 3 nodes already grow something like brown root.
And not worry too much about the existing root you can cut it down to make it fit since you want it to sprout new ones anyway. Identify a mature stem in the middle of the internode but below a mature node. Nodes contain the structures needed to create new growth. Propagating Monstera without node is not feasible as a Monstera cutting needs at least one node for propagation.
