Comment on Anyone have success propagating Monstera Adansonii?

It’s so interesting how different plants cause issues for different people. I really like monsteras of all kinds but can’t maintain a peace lily to save my life.
I cut back my adansoniis regularly and usually propagate the cuttings with leaves in water and the bare sticks in perlite.
I change the water weekly and rinse the roots whenever I do to keep them from getting slimy. Perlite I spray almost daily, or cover it to trap moisture if I’m not able to tend to it regularly. Cuttings can rot if left covered, but sometimes I get to discover a jungle in a forgotten propagation box after a few months.
After I can see decent roots, I pot the cuttings up and keep the soil lightly damp for a week or two until they acclimate.
I haven’t noticed much difference when propagating variegated adansonii, but some of the mints are slower to regrow.

I somehow missed this, sorry!
I had 4 in water when I posted this and 3 wilted away. The last one sprung a decent root almost overnight and now it’s doing fine back in the soil.
I’m really wondering if it’s just the genes in this specific plant. I’ve been thinking about getting a “mystery box” of rooted cuttings from some established Etsy shop and those usually include adansonii so I’ll give it a try if it does
