how long as this took?

#### Via 🧚🏻‍♀️ respondió el 2023-12-08

Almost 4 months, I started the plant from a cutting with only 2 small leaves, I left it to start growing roots for about two months before I transferred it to soil. It grew new leaves within a month

looks like it needs some support, such as a pole or trellis. and if your leaves stop getting bigger that’s a good indicator you need a repot. have you joined the monstera group here?

I have not joined the group on this app but I will definitely join it

Could I use a coco coir pole for this plant? Because I wasn’t sure when to start implementing some support

#### Plant Father respondió el 2023-12-10

coir poles seem to be the most popular choice but they don’t need anything that fancy. an orchid stake or bamboo post would work as well. i also see many people put their monstera on trellises. whichever you choose, be sure to place the support on the back end of the plant. monstera plants have a “front” where the leaves grow from and a “back” where the aerial roots grow
