I am new to your channel so I wanted to say hi! And also add another trick I use to get cuttings to send out roots. I actually learned about this method from an albo grower in Australia but it works every time for me. I haven’t tried every single type of plant that has nodes like pothos and philodendrons, but I have tried lots and it’s worked very well for me! So I thought I’d share. 😊
1) as most people are aware you let your fresh cutting harden off (I let it sit out for about 24 hours) to let the fresh cut dry out.
2) I get a glass jar (I have lots of different shapes and sizes) pick one that will hold the node up out of the water. You don’t want the actual node down in the water. Only part of the aerial root should be submerged.
3) you want to get a fish tank air bubbler with an air stone that will sit down in the water and constantly add air to your water.
4) you want to add 3ml peroxide per liter of filtered water/ distilled water. This adds extra oxygen to the water. And as usual, you will change the water out every 3 days. And clean the glass jar out the best you can with your hands when you change the water.
5) and this probably should have been #1! Always make sure your hands and work areas that you will be handling your albo or whatever it may be that you are trying to root is clean and sanitized. This is especially important for Albo Monstera’s.
I hope this helps someone! 💚

This comment is exactly why I love the indoor plant communities! Everyone is so helpful and willing to share their ideas and experiences. This suggestion is absolute gold - I've heard of this method too but I haven't tried it personally. It definitely sounds like a great experiment for a future video! Thanks @Plantlady77 for the tips and suggestions!
