Alyssa, most vining aroids will do this. Its their nature, its how they are propagated most of the time. Real rrowers who sell (as opposed to large scale growers who buy tissue culture plugs from places like Agristarts) take stem cuttings and cut them into small pieces each of which contains a leaf node, and plants the node half buried in soil, and it grows roots and a new plant a lot faster than from seed. I could have cut this 4' piece into about 10 or more pieces and gotten 10 plants. But I don;t need 10 huge growing Anthurium clavigerums. I have enough LOL. But I won't throw away good plant material.

This will work with almost any vining aroid....monstera, vining philodendrons, vining anthuriums, spathoglottis...
