Variegated plants do tend to be slower than their green counterparts, they also need a lot more light. If they don't get enough they won't put out new growth.

How heavily variegated is this plant? Does it have a LOT of white in the leaves? As Mentha said variegates can be slower than their all green relatives, but you should be able to grow this well if your other is growing well. Does it have a good root system. Probably just needs a bit more time. One of my favorite houseplants!!

@woodnative, I'd say it's about 50-50. The variegata looks more "mature" than the normal green one (I'm basing purely on leaf size, if that's accurate?) but only has one stem with 4 leaves growing on it. It does get good sunlight and misting every few days.
I cut off one of the leaves for propagation but haven't seen any growth from that part of the stem where I cut it off (is that the norm?)
No signs of distress so I'm hoping it's ok!

Are you cutting the stem off too? You can't just root leaves. Also post a picture please? I have always wanted a variegated Monstera.

Here she is! And yes, I did cut the stem but no luck propagating :(

Very nice! I would try to guide the aerial roots into the soil. Once they are rooted you can cut the plant in half and have two plants. Or you can try air layering over one of the roots.

@woodnative, beautiful plant! How old is yours? I did cut the leaf pretty much from the base of the main trunk. Kept it in water for a few weeks but eventually died. No growth from where I cut it on the plant though. Did I do it wrong perhaps? I've never propagated from cuttings before so I could've stuffed it up.

Do to space i periodically rejuvenate this plant. It sounds like you just cut the petiole ( leaf stem) and did not have part of the actual plant stem which you probably don't want to cut yet anyway. You need an actual stem along with a leaf and some root nubs.

Mine in not variegated but I see a distinct seasonal difference in its growth. Outside, in real heat and humidity (day and night), it grows fast. Mine get quite a bit of sun in the growing season, but are protected from the hottest sun. In the Winter, I have to bring it indoors and really don't want it to grow (as the reduced light results in spindly growth and leaves that are not divided. As has been suggested above, variegated plants can be less robust, especially if they are not getting enough sun.

Hello everyone!

Since my last post, my plant has dramatically improved and has been putting out new leaves! It has 4 new ones since!

Now I want to explore the idea of cutting off the new ones and replanting and also hopefully to allow for more growth in the older part of the plant - but where should I make the cut?

Here's a photo:

Should I cut it just below one of the aerial roots and plonk it into soil or leave in water first?

Many thanks!
