I don't recall the name of the species, but it's apparently a Malaysian plant that looks similar to a monstera.
I've had it for a little over a year, and its been happy in that time, it grew to the point I had to add a second stake for it to grab onto.
For the whole period it has been in my bathroom, which gets filtered light all day, and humidity from the shower etc.
General climate is subtropical, so it doesn't ever see frost or even that much cold.
Unfortunately in the past month it seems to have developed issues, one stalk started going black and soft and then died off.
And now I've noticed one of the main healthier stalks is doing the same.
Initially I thought it was a sign of rot, so I pulled back the watering a little, but that hasn't helped.
I also gave it a fairly dilute dose of npk liquid fertiliser in case it was low on nutrients.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what might be causing this?

looks like parts have died off, propagating sounds like your best bet. Its a *something* tetrosperma lol
It is a Raphidophora Tetrasperma, also known as Monstera Minima.
I would chop the nodes that are still green and try to propagate.
That is 100% rot
Have you checked the roots?
