# Hi! I bought this monstera in November and it has been doing really…

_Posted by Maddie on 2023-08-08_

Hi! I bought this monstera in November and it has been doing really well (I’m newer to the plant life and was super excited to see it thrive under my care) until my dog ripped off the two biggest leaves. It looks sad now :( but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about how I should tend to the stems that were left? I wasn’t sure trimming them would be the best option.
