Hey y’all. Looking for advice and opinions. My monstera is around 3 years old. I had less plant knowledge when I got it and didn’t know I could train it and add moss poles. I’m now thinking about chopping it up and propagating because the lower portion is a little bare. Would you leave it alone and add a couple moss poles or start fresh and chop it up?

I turned a Monstera this size into 6 separate plants when I repotted and they are all healthy and happy and pushing out new growth.
