Thank you for your comments! I will try that, SkirtGardener. Crossing my fingers.
I am a noobie about the propagation and growth of green leaf plants. I am most familiar with cacti and succulents.
My obsession with plants started when walking back from work at night in downtown LA and I saw a chunk of a cactus in the street, near the curb.
I got it in my truck and planted it at home. Fast forward a couple of years later and many more rescued plants, the cactus is a beautiful 6ft tall green stick!
I was scared about taking care of green leaf plants, but so far I've been lucky with my regular monstera (discarded by a friend because it lost the only fenestrated leaf) and fiddle leaf fig (I got it from a cutting, with one leaf and no roots- it has 5 now and it's planted in soil).
I was hoping to have another success story, but I might have killed this plant... I am trying to not lose hope, so thank you for the kind words.
