Hello! Has anyone here ever tried growing a monstera horizontally along soil? I’m just curious what that could look like lol I may try it with a small section.

I have seen people use the long rectangular planters so they can "walk" if that’s related, on FB in particular.

Exactly what I’m thinking! Thanks!

I didn’t intend to have my monstera grow in that way but it is…. And is very happy, lol! Just make sure the new leaves are facing the light source so they naturally ‘crawl’ towards it.
