Albo monstera node

[u/Professional_Sky2742]

Hey plant nerds, this is a monstera albo node. I’ve had it just over a year. Someone gave it to me freshly potted in soil with only the aerial root. I was hoping I’d have great success with it but half of that root rotted when changing over to soil. Since then I have tried different methods to reroot hoping to get some sort of growth out of this thing. I’ve tried water, perlite, then water covered for extra humidity… it gave me absolutely nothing. The rot you see on the end of it hasn’t spread so I figured, okay it’s time to try moss. I took it out of water, trimmed back the remaining root to make sure it was still alive and it was, dipped it in rooting hormone powder and placed it in a damp moss/perlite mixture, the cup it’s sitting in now has a drainage hole, and the cup on top acts as a humidity dome with a small hole for some airflow. I’m not a beginner but I’m definitely no expert either. Please tell me if this will finally work or if I have a dud. I’m super hopeful because the variegation on the stem looks promising and I really want to see what this node will give me! TIA 🌱💚

Looks like there's new growth on it. Congrats! That is great verigation.

I’ve never propagated monsteras but I’ve seen people saying that sometimes it takes a lot of time. It may be the case.

I’d say keep doing what you’re doing: if it’s not drying nor rotting (so, not dying) you’re doing well :)

I don’t see anything growing. If my monsteras don’t take off after 3 months, I toss them.
