How to Propagate a Monstera Adansonii

Monstera Adansonii
Hi there, just so you know I may receive compensation from the links on this page, thanks for visiting!

Monstera Adansonii are vine plants which make them extremely easy to propagate. You’ll need just a few things;

  • A node cutting
  • Clean sharp sheers
  • Container full of water

Lets get started!

Locate a node. The node is a brown round root that grows on vine plants. cut about an inch under the node. Make sure there is at least one leaf on your trimming, two is ideal.

The node is in the red circle, and the yellow is where you would cut

Take your cutting and place it in distilled water completely covering the node with water, keep it in indirect light.

Keep your cutting node covered with water. It will take about 3 weeks but soon a white root will start to show. Keep the new root covered with water.

Root spike about one inch long

Once the root spikes get to and inch or more than its time to transplant to soil! I like a 5:1:1:1, 4 potting soil, 2 part orchid wood, 1 part charcoal, 1 part perlite. Keep the soil most but not wet. ( or buy premade here )

In time it will adjust to the soil, it could go through a period of shock just give it time to adjust.

That’s it! Congrats you got a new plant! Enjoy your beautiful new plant.
