Can anyone tell me why my monstera is growing this weird way 😭 the first picture is supposed to be the “front” of the plant and the second is the back

What do you mean by weird way?

#### My Plant Cubby ha risposto il 2023-06-14

It’s as if they’re turning left as opposed to growing straight? I just realized I mixed up the two pictures. But the one with the moss pole in the back is technically the front of the plant

Gotcha, they may be trying to follow the light source. From what I’ve seen, it’s pretty typical for the monsteras to have leaves going in a lot of directions. It also looks like you have 2 plants in there actually, so next time you repot, you can turn them to face the same way instead of opposite directions. I’m currently in the same situation 😆

I agree it looks like more than one plant in this pot
