It may not have a node if it's a leaf cutting, but eventually, it will develop a new bud.

If it is attached to a piece of stem, then that is the node - where the leaf meets the stem.

Thank you so much. I saw an illustration of a Monstera, and it labeled white rings along the stem as nodes. I don't see those on mine. So, I got worried.

if it has a root, it has a node. roots form at the nodes, at least for monstera. the point where your plant root is visibly attached to the root is the node. A new leaf will form and unfurl along the leaf stem on the opposite side of the root. It will develop inside a sheeth along the stem and then poke out and unfurl when it's ready. in short, yes you will get new leaves soon. it can take weeks to a month or more for a new leaf to emerge depending on various factors.

Just to clarify; not necessarily. Some plants, including Monstera, can root from petioles (leaf stems,) which are not nodes. Some other plants root from the internodes, which are just pieces of stem, but not actual nodes.

I know about other plant s but didn't about monstera in have had one for only a couple of months.Good to know I make more without cutting the stem. I threw away an older leaf stem that had only a part of the leaf on it when I got it. :(

silent seed, are you sure? A cursory google search didn't result in any reference to suggest that a monatera petiole can root.

I actually didn't know this, either - but a friend that I delivered some plants to, had one - which is how I know this. I tried it, too, but didn't have any luck. (His was green.)

It looked to be a medium-sized leaf - he said it broke off of a plant he had moved, and he didn't know it would root, but tried it anyway, and it was sitting in a cup of water - with many roots.

The (two) that I tried, were OLD, huge leaves from my variegated Thai Constellation which were old and browning - which might have led to my non-success.

So, it didn't have any stem at all? Mine is green too. I had two damaged/half eaten leaves when I got it from Lowes. I am going to give it a try on the other one instead of disposing it off once I have enough growth (it's only the penultimate leaf on one of two branches). let's see how that goes.

No, it didn't - it was just the leaf, with petiole (complete, not cut above where it connected to the node) but no stem at all. I think it was young enough that when it broke, the whole petiole came loose, and that is what rooted.

ok, I will be careful to pull off the whole leaf. it will probably have to be next spring unless my Monstera speeds up its growth now.

If that rooted, I don't see why it wouldn't also root a little higher up the petiole. But it's all speculation as I had never seen that before. It would be neat to experiment, if somebody had a plant with enough leaves to do so.

Hows the cutting doing? I see that it has a bud ar the very base. Looks like a single leaf top cut. Always put u rooted cuttings in a bag that doesn't touch the leaves, like a dry cleaning bag for a few weeks, opening it once in a while. The cuttings won't do much for a month or so, but should be fine in a few months.

Look how beautiful my plant looks now! Thank you for asking.
