# Hi guys. I got a beautiful monstera from Whole Foods a week or two…

Hi guys. I got a beautiful monstera from Whole Foods a week or two ago. It’s super healthy and pushing out 5 (!!) new leaves. It’s obvious that there are 3-4 actual plants in the 10in pot. End game is to stake it to support vertical growth and big beautiful fenestrated leaves. Should I divide the individual plants to support this goal?

(I’ll add a picture when I get back home!)

I was wondering the same thing. I have both an Adansonii and Deliciosa, but each pot has 4 bushy immature plants (or at least 4 big backs) both are about 16 inches tall right now with smallish leaves. I bought two actual moss poles to train them up ala SydneyPlantGuy. I want to see them grow huge! I think I read you should train 3 max on a single pole. Is that right?

lol I loveeee SydneyPlantGuy! Total goals. I haven’t read about three on one pole, but I do have to do more reading!!! Thanks for your response!
