Since you are getting a refund on this and it is so sad, would you be willing to try an experiment? People have recently started experimenting with air layering Monstera to get them to produce new shoots. The reason it seems to work is that when a plant in the wild gets accidentally broken in midst, it will grow a new shoot with a new apical meristem to continue growth. What you would do is to make a shallow cut half way through the stem just above the node and insert a plastic plant into it to keep it from closing, then see if a new shoot will emerge above the cut. I am going to try it with one of mine.
