I want to add something for my Monty to climb, but I’ve read different things online. I thought a moss pole but read they could attract pests? What do you all recommend? She seems full I’m afraid of hurting plant by putting something in pot. Would I have to replant her?
You don’t have to use a moss pole. Anything at all to attach limbs to to let her climb will work. A board, bamboo stakes, a trellis, or any combo of those will work. As long as you can tie her limbs to something for support.

You can use any type of trellis. I bought moss poles for my Monstera and have not noticed any pests in the last 4 months.

I’ve got two plants in my Monstera pot and she is doing super well! Yes I have got it in a 32cm pot so it is quite hefty but works for me!! I would say 100% repot into a slightly bigger pot and add a moss pole at the same time! When they are supported they often grow bigger and happier leaves 🥰
