Monstera is a must-have plant in trendy homes and plant shops. Whether it's the Thai Constellation Monstera, the White Monstera, or the Large Indoor Monstera, propagating it is an easy and rewarding way to grow it. This guide will show you how to propagate Monstera seedlings using simple and proven methods.

Step 1: Take Clean Cuttings

Select a stem with one or more nodes and healthy leaves. Cut it just below the node with sterilized scissors.


Step 2: Choose the Right Propagation Method

Hydroponic Method: Place the Monstera cutting in a glass of water, submerging the node. Roots will form within 2-4 weeks.


Soil Method: Plant in a well-ventilated, moist soil. This is ideal for vigorous varieties like the Large Indoor Monstera.


Moss Method: Wrap the node with moistened sphagnum moss. This is ideal for rare Monstera and the delicate White Monstera.

Step 3: Transplant and Grow

When the roots are 2-3 inches long, plant them in fertile, well-aerated soil in a potted area in bright, indirect light—like all typical houseplants, avoid direct sunlight.


One of the secrets to success: Use a rooting hormone to promote growth.


Propagate in spring and summer.


Do not overwater—keep the soil slightly moist.


If you are propagating multiple Monstera varieties, label each cutting.

Propagation is suitable for: Expanding a plant collection or inventory.

Whether you are a home gardener or a wholesale buyer, propagation is an ideal way to grow high-value Monstera plants. The following varieties are particularly suitable for home propagation or professional-scale tissue culture:


Thai Star Monstera—This rare Monstera, known for its creamy white marbled leaves, is slow-growing but very popular, and hydroponics is recommended for the early cloning stages.


White Monstera—One of the most popular live indoor plants, requires high humidity and indirect light. Propagating with moss helps retain moisture.


Young Monstera plants root quickly and are suitable for beginners, especially in spring. These seedlings are often found in starter kits at nurseries.


Large indoor Monstera plants, such as mature Monstera, are ideal for larger spaces. Soil propagation strengthens the root system and promotes long-term indoor growth.


Rare Monstera plants, including White Monstera, Peruvian Monstera, and Twill Monstera, require controlled environments such as moss or in vitro propagation.


The propagation techniques used for the classic houseplant Monstera can also be applied to other common household plants, such as pothos, philodendron, and syngonium.


Propagation makes it easy to propagate your favorite plants or sell them. It is sustainable, cost-effective, and highly profitable.
