@BuoyantSandleek · Answer

When you have roots that are 3 in or longer is ideally best. If you want to wait till there's branching on the thinker roots then you can almost guarantee success

@KrunchyWrapz · Answer

I always go by what @BuoyantSandleek just said above. I always wait until roots are 3in or more that way they are longer, stronger, and in case I accidentally over water theres more roots to work with lol

@ThoughtfulAlula · Answer

Yes I agree with both @BuoyantSandleek and @KrunchyWrapz sometimes I'll put liquid fertilizer in it though to help

@Sassylimey · Answer

Welcome to the Greg community Ella. I agree with @BuoyantSandleek the general rule is 3 roots that are 3" long. If you have golden pothos is suggest placing a cutting in with your Monstera cutting. Pothos produces a water soluble liquid growth hormone that will encourage your plant to grow more and stronger roots. Make sure to have your cutting in distilled water. Patience is key when propagating 😉
