# I’ve had my monstera since august of last year and he was finally…

_Posted by Alexis on 2023-06-30_

I’ve had my monstera since august of last year and he was finally just getting too big for my space so three weeks ago I split him and gave the props away to friends. Since I repotted him, he has put out 6 new leaves and is growing in a new branch where I cut one! It’s crazy how fast he grows! Before too long he will be right back to his original size! I need to add a support pole so he starts to grow more vertically so if anyone has any helpful tips they would be appreciated! The last photo was his original size and the first one is him a year later :)

I had him outside for a couple of weeks and repotted him and he just went crazy!
