Hey guys, I took a monstera cutting from an aunts 27 something monstera, and I was wondering if it would sprout some roots? I've never had a successful cutting, and I'm really really hoping this works! I've been looking everywhere for a monstera, but they're either out of stock or they don't carry them anyway I was kind of wondering what those brown-red stock things are on both sides of the cutting. The plant is ancient, so I'm thinking it could be some old aerial roots?

Welcome. Where do you live? Monstera is a very common house plant. You should be able to find many locally and then there is always eBay. Looks like roots to me. Pot it up and see what happens. Gene

Hi again, good job making your 1st post! Yes, those are aerial / vestigial roots. Some or all should develop into real roots if you put your cutting in water or soil.

I agree, definitely roots!

I forgot to say and congratulations on starting your first thread!

Thank you all for the information, but most of all, thanks for the warm welcome guys!

Welcome Jasmyn! You'll love this site! Good luck with your Monstera too.

Hey guys! I'm back, and this time, I have a much better cutting. Anyway, my grandma gave me a bouquet of flowers for my junior high promotion, and it came with a packet of plant food. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to add a bit to the new cutting's water?

Nope.

Why not?

In general, people over feed their house plants. Most often extra food is going to hurt the plant not better it. Why add food to something that has no roots = cannot feed itself? There are gels and liquids that promote rooting. Those might be suitable. Gene

The preservatives that florists often include to preserve cut flowers are very different than plant food or fertilizer used for potted plants.

The water will turn green too, no benefit to be gained at this point, only detriments.

hey guys, i just given this monstera cutting, its already have some small roots and a long one, what should i do? should i plant it in soil right away or should i let it sit on water for several days? thanks in advance

Up to you. Either way, longer in water or now in some soil. Both will probably work in the long run. Gene
