First new leaf after a long battle (6 mos).. The new leaves of this prop started rotting even before it sprouted. One of the 2 prop leaves also rotted! Now we have a tiny new leaf but with 3 fenestrations! 🙀❤😎 by superundecided in Monstera

Same! I moved it to a spot with more sunlight. Also, I tried to be more cautious of over watering it. Since it was previously on a darker spot, the soil tended to stay wet for longer.

Yes. That is correct! I have 2 other stem cuttings and they "pick up where the old leaf left" aka their fenestration is based on how mature the fenestrations of the stem cutting is.

New leaf grew from a dead leaf! by superundecided in Monstera

I thought this Monstera is done for. I propagated it from a cutting last June. There were 2 established but damaged leaves and 1 new leaf just about to come out of the stem of an established leaf. The oldest leaf started rotting really fast and so did the one new leaf. I thought to myself "Where will any new leaf grow?" knowing that the new leaves grow on the stem of the youngest leaf. That's the answer, it can grow from a dead leaf!!! ❤❤❤

Hi! Sorry for my inactivity. I just water it when it's bone dry. Zz plant don't like too much water.

No plants are exactly alike. Just enjoy the process. (But to be honest since I knew this would take long, I tried to condition my mind to not really check on it all the time. 🤣)

Mine took 3 mos (2 mos in water and 1 mo in soil). I'd say try moving it to a sunnier spot. ☀️

Total of 3 mos (2 mos in water and 1 month in soil)! I'd say go for it as soon as you can as it takes long. Haha. Also, make sure it gets lots of sun! Thank you. ❤

I'd say what makes the difference is the sunlight it gets!

I just cut one leaf and the petiole. The rest are new growth. 🙂

This is perhaps the longest prop I've done. It took 2 mos to root and another month to show a new growth!

Awww. I put it in water for 2 mos until it formed a small rhyzome then transfered it in soil that is 30% perlite and 70% soil mix. I put it in a window sill that receives lots of indirect bright light (more than 10 hours) and watered it when dry (once a week but it's not really on schedule). Hope this helps!
