# To prune or not to prune!? I’m asking for advice if I should cut…

To prune or not to prune!? I’m asking for advice if I should cut these small ‘suckers’ from my adolescent monstera.

She’s healthy (and I’m a newbie) and looking for suggestions. Thank you!

Healthy leaves are beneficial for bringing energy into the plant! Keep them unless they just really bother you.

Thank you. I’ve heard the opposite that these smaller leaves are sucking potential energy from the larger leaves. I appreciate the feedback. They’re healthy and I don’t mind them, just want her to thrive 😀

It has little and big ones. Plus 2 little and 1 big unrolling.

Beautiful!

It looks like you actually have three plants versus one large plant

Every time I prune my monstera, I get a new shoot soon after!
