Can Monstera leaves take root?

1. Can it take root?

Leaves alone cannot take root and cuttings will not survive. You can cut stem segments with leaves to ensure survival. For the selected branches, it is best if each stem segment has 2-3 leaves on the top, with a length of about 10 cm, and 2-3 nodes retained on each segment, so that it can take root and grow, and the chance of survival can be guaranteed.

2. Rooting steps

1. Select the branches and process them. Add carbendazim to water and mix them into a solution. Insert the bottom of the branches into it to promote rooting. Then put them aside to dry so that juice no longer drips from the cut.

2. After the branches are processed, you can prepare the substrate. Air permeability, nutrition and drainage are necessary. You can use peat soil mixed with fine sand and vermiculite to achieve good results.

3. After all these are prepared, you can insert the branches into the substrate. It doesn't need to be too deep. Pay attention to the depth, about 4cm will be enough. After inserting it, place it in a cool place, pay attention to the humidity, spray water on it in time to keep it moist, keep the temperature at about 20 degrees, and it will take root in about 15-20 days.
