What can I do to… _Chris님이 2023-07-17에 게시함_ I’ve had my Monstera for just over a year now. What can I do to encourage larger leaves with the classic leaf fenestration / holes? I’m thinking of repotting into a slightly larger pot and putting in a moss pole. Any other thoughts? ## 10개의 댓글 ### ElysianAndroid님이 2023-07-17에 댓글을 남겼어요. Bigger is not always better especially with aeroids! Honestly the pot kinda looks too big for that size plant to start. And do a plank instead of a pole. Imo this looks more like a lack of light than anything. I’ve had my monstera for a month and it’s put out a brand new absolutely massive leaf. Plank + more light! And make sure the root side faces the plank. ### ElysianAndroid님이 2023-07-17에 댓글을 남겼어요. The leaf tilting down is my newest leaf. It’s only just gotten a darker green. Look how small my pot actually is! Your plant may be trying to grow roots actually more than leaves because of all the room it has, too. Focusing on that and fighting off root rot in a big pot likely has slowed leaf growth besides lack of light. Priorities aren’t right for it! If you choose to repot just pick a pot 1-2 inches bigger than the root ball. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/pm43bbE6Lshb-jMOkTz_wP_ROiZtIDKKKasuwOdqGHc/58710cf81611483992788f4cc93953ca.webp?size=large) #### Chris님이 2023-07-17에 답변했습니다. This is very helpful, thank you! I’ll keep it in the same pot and try to get it some more light. Can you share why you recommend a plank vs pole? Any specific type of wood for the plank? #### ElysianAndroid님이 2023-07-18에 답변했습니다. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/pm43bbE6Lshb-jMOkTz_wP_ROiZtIDKKKasuwOdqGHc/a6be8a62da7d423c87ab146f367b3252.webp?size=large) #### ElysianAndroid님이 2023-07-18에 답변했습니다. Apologies if you got a bunch of notifications oh my god; the app kept telling me it failed to send bc of links or bad language which I had neither but when I refreshed the page it had sent like 10. #### ElysianAndroid님이 2023-07-18에 답변했습니다. Oh also go watch Kill This Plant on YouTube. Got my plank info from that guy. He’s got a lot of nice monstera videos ### sophia v님이 2023-07-17에 댓글을 남겼어요. i am kind of ‘experimental’ with my houseplants but i’ve always had luck with my healthy monsteras just cutting off the smaller leaves to the soil, and working my way up the plant pruning to encourage bigger leaves with fenestration and higher reaching vines!! #### sophia v님이 2023-07-17에 답변했습니다. monstera in question. working on filling it in currently!! ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ooeK3Tp0rHgsuoJrMh2WNUTmyUGZ3ohTP1jKVInp8DE/8b475855d5c94f9db211b9a5099afb30.webp?size=large) #### sophia v님이 2023-07-17에 답변했습니다. here is how it started about two years ago. i have separated three separate plants from it that are 🙌, hence why i’m trying to rebuild the OG ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ooeK3Tp0rHgsuoJrMh2WNUTmyUGZ3ohTP1jKVInp8DE/9b9c57c4cbfe486cad525c519fdc8946.webp?size=large) #### Chris님이 2023-07-17에 답변했습니다.
