Mint Monstera Deliciosa Verigated Rare Starter Plant Cuttings Nodes Indoor Outdoor Plant Gifts Growing Mint Monstera Deliciosa (a variegated Monstera variety) from cuttings is a fun and rewarding process. Here’s how to do it step by step. Supplies Needed Mint Monstera Deliciosa cutting with at least one node Clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears Jar or container for water propagation (optional) Pot with drainage holes Well draining potting soil Water Optional: Humidity dome or misting spray Check the Cutting Ensure your cutting has: A node: The small bump on the stem where roots and leaves grow. Healthy, firm tissue and at least one leaf. Variegated leaves should retain green areas for photosynthesis. Decide on Propagation Method You can propagate in water or soil. Water Propagation: Fill a clean jar with room temperature water. Submerge the node (not the leaves) in water. Place the jar in bright, indirect light. Change the water every 3–5 days to prevent stagnation. Roots will begin to develop in 2–4 weeks. Soil Propagation: Use a well draining potting mix, such as a combination of coco coir, perlite, and orchid bark. Plant the cutting in the soil with the node buried just beneath the surface. Water the soil lightly until evenly moist (not soggy). Provide the Right Environment Light: Place the cutting in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent burning delicate variegated leaves. Temperature: Maintain a temperature between 65–85F (18–29C). Humidity: Variegated Monsteras love high humidity (60%+). Use a humidifier, mist the plant, or place it near a humidity tray. Transition to Soil (for Water Propagation) When the roots are 2–3 inches long, transfer the cutting to soil. Follow the planting instructions under "Soil Propagation." Water thoroughly after planting and allow excess water to drain. Care for the Growing Plant Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Overwatering can cause root rot. Fertilizing: Use a diluted, balanced fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) every 4–6 weeks. Avoid over-fertilizing, as variegated plants are more sensitive. Pruning: Remove any yellowing leaves and ensure good airflow around the plant. Monitor and Encourage Growth Look for new leaves as a sign of successful propagation. Variegated Monsteras grow more slowly than green ones, so patience is key. Provide a moss pole or trellis for climbing as it matures, which supports healthy growth. By maintaining consistent care and providing the right environment, your Mint Monstera Deliciosa cutting will thrive into a stunning variegated plant.
