# Hi everyone! Need some advice! I’ve had my thai monstera for a couple…

_Posted by rayna on 2026-05-18_

Hi everyone! Need some advice!  
I’ve had my thai monstera for a couple months now and she seems to be doing well.  
I recently trimmed off some of the smaller/lower/floppy leaves and I attached the “back” of the plant to the pole for support.  
My question is - does this look like enough support for now? I really want her to grow big and grow upward but I don’t want to do it wrong😅  
Any further tips on how to really get this plant to pop off are really appreciated too! 🌿

I think a looser spagnum moss pole would be more beneficial as they allow roots to grow into better and you can supply more nutrients via watering the pole. The more roots they have in the pole the more support is offered and the bigger the leaves

Thank you! I will definitely try that

I agree with Elias’s comment, I made a moss pole and don’t bother to keep it moist but the plant grew into it on its own and it works well

I’ve also seen that they can attach to planks of wood and most things so doesn’t have to be anything fancy
