Does anyone else monstera adansonii grow ridiculously fast? Mine has been popping out new leaves while also trying to unfurl previous new growth! I feel like I can’t keep up and I think the big chop is going to happen soon because I can’t add another pole and I can’t place it anywhere else because my cats are jerks!

Oh goodness- never had a Monstera of any kind, but I would love one. One quick tip to help with the Cats VS. Plants problem, is to get some fake plants to get your cat to not know the difference between fake and real plants.

I could try that!

I don’t know what I would do if my cat cared about plants, would make life much harder that’s for sure! Beautiful adansonii!! Super jealous, I don’t have one, but my other monsteras are SLOOOOOOW growers.

It’s honestly horrible and my cats are choosy about which ones they’ll eat tho so that’s kinda nice. Thank you! What fertilizer do you use? My other monsteras do not grow as fast as my adansonii
