I found a massive chunk of monstera stem in a dumpster by my university greenhouse that I cut into 5 lengths, the size of what is shown in the photos. I was wondering what I would need to do to propagate this!
I grow a variety of houseplants already so I have general experience but NO Monstera experience.
Any help/discussion would be incredible!

Does the stem size affect the size of the leaf? Or does it produce big leafs from the get go?

For those curious, this is what the fenestrations were like on the leaves. I wish they were still attached but it is what it is
I use tubs with damp sphagnum moss. Then put it in my closet/garage and forget about it for a month
Put in a clear box with moist moss. Use lid or ceran wrap to close and create 100% humidity. Put under grow light.
However, this is more for the sake of experiment. It will grow, but leaves will be juvenile. Without an established root system or existing leaves I doubt it will bounce back to it’s monster size.
