# I have this beautiful Monstera, and I recently separated a smaller…

_Posted by CG on 2025-08-30_

I have this beautiful Monstera, and I recently separated a smaller section to repot on its own since the stems looked a bit weak or leggy. I placed it in front of a window with bright, indirect light in a warm room. It’s still producing new leaves, but the plant looks a bit messy, with stems going in different directions. How can I help it grow sturdier and look more upright?

Thanks

The monstera is gorgeous but I can’t even with that pup photobomber. What a cutie!!!!!

I would recommend putting the monstera on a trellis, but IDK since it’s already very grown and crooked. I bet kill that plant on YouTube will have something on this very topic.
