# Help! I'm not sure what to do with my monstera adansonii, as it has…

Help!  
I'm not sure what to do with my monstera adansonii, as it has no leaves in the middle but is pushing more growth at the ends. Should I cut it back and propagate??

It may be looking for light. Place it closer to bright indirect light or get a grow light. Propagate the long vines. 🪴🍀

I agree with Sunny, 9 times out of 10, if it is sprawling with little leaf growth, it’s looking for more light
