Re: Monstera deliciosa
Hello Jacky.
If your tip has an areal root, you can cut just below the root and plant
directly into soil. If not, you can air-layer it like a rubber tree. Just in
case you are not exactly sure how to air layer, here is how it's done. Just
scar the main stem where you wish to cut and wrap that scar up with moist
sphagnum that you then wrap with plastic. Once there are enough roots in there,
just cut below the roots and plant in soil. If this is not all clear just ask
again and I'll try to explain better.
