My monstera seems to be growing wider \& wider. I’d rather her grow taller. I’m thinking it’s time to repot with a moss pole. What do you guys think?

If you want it to grow up I’d say you need to give it something to climb :) any type of structure would work! (Moss pole included)

As far as repotting goes, that would depend on the root ball. Just because shes so huge doesn’t mean her roots have out grown her pot. I’d wait a day after watering and then very gently see if I can slide it out enough to check the roots.

I agree ☺️

Not sure if this is true so take it with a grain of salt but maybe if you give it less light it will grow taller? I know lots of succulents and plants get leggy when they’re seeking light so maybe it’s the same principal. Again, just speculation; probably don’t try without research.
