Monstera cuttings question

Preciousplants1 PlantsMakePeopleHappy #TheWateringHole #TheThread #brunchataudreys @SuperbRaspfern #Hoya #Monstera
I thought these monstera limbs were gone n rotting then I noticed it getting roots and the roots getting roots too! 😊 or πŸ₯Ί.
Not quite knowing how to feel about the darker rings that look like rot? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance πŸ™πŸ½πŸ«ΆπŸΎ

@Preciousplants1 my pleasure Sherri ☺️ Those roots look very promising! I hope you have a lovely day πŸ₯°πŸ«Ά
I’m no @SuperbRaspfern 😊 but that looks pretty healthy to me! When a cut edge of a stem is exposed to air, it oxidizes and can naturally turn a little dark brown or black (like when a cut apple turns brown, you know?). As long as the whole area of the stem itself isn’t mushy, it doesn’t look like rot to me!
@DreamMachine Gm Nadia thank you so much for answering. I didn’t think about it like that.but you are absolutely right πŸ‘πŸ½. I changed the πŸ’¦ water. So that must have been the exposure that has then a little brown. I appreciate your help. πŸ™πŸ½blessings ❀️
@DreamMachine sorry for the delay in answering. thank you Nadia; it’s got busy very quickly and I’m just getting to take a break .
I’m feeling hopeful πŸ‘πŸ½
@Preciousplants1 oh you are a dear πŸ₯° No need to apologize! I always assume everyone has stuff going on in their real world too 😊 and I, for one, am easily distractible πŸ˜…

And hooray! Hope is beautiful thing. πŸ•ŠοΈ If not instead of trials and tribulations, but BECAUSE of them β™₯️
