# Hi everyone! I’m a new plant mom and I have a beautiful monstera…

_Posted by Cary on 2023-07-31_

Hi everyone! I’m a new plant mom and I have a beautiful monstera which has been growing a lot! She’s given me 3 new leaves in a month and I’m thrilled! However, I am not sure if I should repot her, or how to support her since she’s growing a lot and it’s growing bushy. Since I don’t have a lot of room inside the house, I’d love for her to grow upwards. I’d love some advice please 🙂

i would suggest getting a moss poll since it is big enough now that it needs something

I bought a moss pole but no idea where or how to put it since she’s all over the pot lol

#### Payal replied on 2023-07-31

to climb. it definitely seems a little root bound and would do really good in a bigger pot.

#### Payal replied on 2023-07-31

you could fit in a moss pole that way.

Thank you so much!

Did each new leaf have more fenestrations (holes and slits in leaves) that the one prior? If so, I wouldn’t worry about repotting. Give her support though!

#### Cary replied on 2023-07-31

Well, the first and last ones were HUGE and had a lottt of fenestrations! The second one is big too, but only had one fenestration

#### Anya replied on 2023-07-31

Maybe there are two separate plants in there.

#### Hannah replied on 2023-07-31

I agree with Anya. The bushy look and uneven growth patterns are likely due to there being multiple plants potted together. You can leave them like that, or you can separate them into different pots. If you separate them they will look a lot less bushy and grow upwards if given a moss pole to climb

Thank you all so much! I really appreciate your help 🙂
