Can I propagate this monstera?

4 years ago

Hi. I have bought these plants for me and some relatives. The problem is that there are more people who want them than there are planta. The seller said, that Ican propagate them if wanted to. My question is can I really do it now, or should I wait for more new leafs? Is there a place for the rooted plant to grow new leafs from? Thank you :) more pics in the comments. :)

Depends on how many new plants you want. Each node (where a leaf is attached) can grow into a plant. The stronger the parent plant the better chance you have of successful cuttings. Always better to wait until the plants are bigger and stronger.

This is one plant. Has two new leafs, and I can see one more leaf starting to form.

Thank you. :) well the mother plants look quite strong, plus the seller said, that he rooted them in soil in last summer. I am still a little hesitant to cut them though. The seller said I can cut them where the red lines are in the pistures. :)

Yeah, this is a monstera vatiegata albo. It's getting more popular now and not the hardest to propagate, not as rare as Monstera Thai constalation :)
