My girl is growing like crazy and getting top heavy should I velcro tape her to a wooden trellis for support? Or is she not that kind of plant 🪴💕🤷‍♀️

It is that kinda plant :)

You will want to give it support at some point for sure. If you feel like it’s getting to that point then go for it! They are good on moss poles, but honestly, anything that helps them stay upright will work 👍🏻 they don’t HAVE to be on a moss pole.

Yeah I don't want to do boss pulls I definitely researched it for many many hours many videos on the subject oh my monstera's too I just decided to go with the wooden trellises for support I'm legally blind and my husband is disabled and not really down for the most pool route either, this thing is growing so fast I'm like how big do they even get I'm glad she's happy

Hi there, the stems do flop without support especially with young plants like yours. I just use a thin bamboo garden stake and gently tie the stem onto it for support - that’s generally enough. It just needs to stay upright, it won’t be rooting onto it. Eventually when the stem matures it turns woody and can support itself but if it’s green, it definitely needs staking :)
