  Can you post some pictures of the stem, showing where the nodes or new aerial roots are growing? To keep the pictures upright, try editing them just a little bit smaller( in size, not bytes or whatever they are) before you post them.
  i have reduced some quite big monstera, and ended up with lots of new plants.

  This is one of my plants, grown from two leaves of the older one.
  
  
  If I was going to start a new plant, I would cut off the two top leaves, circled in the first picture, across the stem where I have drawn a line on the second picture. The cut needs to be below a node, which you can just see on the left above the line. Then put the cutting in a large vase of water and leave it until the node grows into a decent root, which you can then plant up in a pot. Seems to work as long as the cutting has at least two leaves and a node. I’m no expert, but I had two untidy monstera plants that I turned into cuttings and ended up with loads of plants.

  I did exactly the same with my Monstera plant. The cuttings are very easy to root in water.
